Back in oktober last year, when I started looking at the +LinuxCNC system, I +proposed to change the documentation build system make life easier for +translators. The original system consisted of independently written +documentation files for each language, with no automated way to track +changes done in other translations and no help for the translators to +know how much was left to translated. By using +the po4a system to generate POT and PO +files from the English documentation, this can be improved. A small +team of LinuxCNC contributors got together and today our labour +finally payed off. Since a few hours ago, it is now possible to +translate the +LinuxCNC documentation on Weblate, alongside the program itself.

+ +

The effort to migrate the documentation to use po4a has been both +slow and frustrating. I am very happy we finally made it.
