To update the translations to gnome-doc-utils: * first update the docbook DTD in your translation (for example de/netspeed_applet.xml) from 4.1.2 to 4.4 * then check if the old translated xml-file is valid: "xmllint -valid de/netspeed_applet.xml 1>/dev/null" * fix the errors if any (compare C/netspeed_applet.xml for reference) * fix the structure of the .xml file, so that it has the same structure as C/netspeed_applet.xml; you can verify this with "xml2po -r de/netspeed_applet.xml C/netspeed_applet.xml | less" the translations should match... * create the .po file: "xml2po -r de/netspeed_applet.xml C/netspeed_applet.xml > de/de.po" * fix the .po file: it's probably totally messed up; fix the translations most of them should be there, but in the wrong place probably. translate the rest * for more info: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeDocUtilsTranslationMigration
