po4a seems to be pretty straightforward to use, see 
http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/en/po4a.7.html#How_to_use_po4a_ 

I first also thought the ascii art there looks complicated, but read "HOWTO 
begin a new translation?", "HOWTO change the translation back to a 
documentation file?", "HOWTO update a po4a translation?" and "HOWTO convert a 
pre-existing translation to po4a?" for yourself (takes less then 5 minutes) 
and you will see this seems to be real easy and maintainable.

I wanted to try it, but for the existing french and romanian translations 
there is no source code available! :-((( Daniel (or Thomas ? its on 
uni-koeln.de..), Eugen, could you please mail me "your" source ?!
(You have to - read the GPL :)


thanks,
	Holger
