LOCALE::PO4A::NEWSDEBIAN.3PM(1)

NAME
Locale::Po4a::NewsDebian - convert NEWS.Debian documents from/to PO files

DESCRIPTION
The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

Locale::Po4a::NewsDebian is a module to help the translation of the NEWS.Debian files into other [human] languages. Those files are where maintainer are supposed to write the important news about their package.

OPTIONS ACCEPTED BY THIS MODULE
NONE.

STATUS OF THIS MODULE
Not tested.

AUTHORS
