# Makefile to genereate everything needed for a translation of git-magic using po4a

# the possible targets
#
# clean - remove the folder $(POTDIR) and all the .txt files
# gettext - create the folder $(POTDIR) and generate the .po files in there
# translate - create the .txt files from the translated .po files
#             for success you must have translated already 80% of a .po file
# update - update the .po files in case the originals has changed
#             changed items are marked 'fuzzy' in the .po file to fin them easy
