  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;Back in oktober last year, when I started looking at the
  15 &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxCNC&quot;&gt;LinuxCNC&lt;/a&gt; system, I
  16 proposed to change the documentation build system make life easier for
  17 translators.  The original system consisted of independently written
  18 documentation files for each language, with no automated way to track
  19 changes done in other translations and no help for the translators to
  20 know how much was left to translated.  By using
  21 &lt;a href=&quot;https://po4a.org/&quot;&gt;the po4a system&lt;/a&gt; to generate POT and PO
  22 files from the English documentation, this can be improved.  A small
  23 team of LinuxCNC contributors got together and today our labour
  24 finally payed off.  Since a few hours ago, it is now possible to
  25 translate &lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/linuxcnc/&quot;&gt;the
  26 LinuxCNC documentation on Weblate&lt;/a&gt;, alongside the program itself.&lt;/p&gt;
  27
  28 &lt;p&gt;The effort to migrate the documentation to use po4a has been both
  29 slow and frustrating.  I am very happy we finally made it.&lt;/p&gt;
