		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Add details about Gettext PO files&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;From the manpage the gettext program translates a natural language message into the user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Gettext PO file is one of two Gettext file types conveying translations in source code. The PO file contains human readable and editable text with a single target translation and linked to plain-text strings in source code. The second file, a [[Gettext MO (Machine Object) file]] is a compiled binary representation of the same data for use in the calling application. The MO file is generated from the PO source, usually in a batch workflow for a single project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== File structure == &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The file structure of a PO file is described in the [https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/PO-Files.html Gettext documentation]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Example PO files ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://github.com/artefactual/archivematica/tree/78757a858a1ca4bacae185ff5037ceddea1eb9dd/src/dashboard/src/locale PO files for Javascript and Python within Archivematica within the LC_MESSAGES folder]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://github.com/transifex/django-messages/tree/436618b9afe9c8f05a131f79564ab56f09b86a3c/django_messages/locale PO files for the Transifex project within the LC_MESSAGES folder]&lt;br /&gt;
* [https://github.com/autotools-mirror/gettext/tree/f18fa1d97137eaad55750eee5dc0ce2cae4f7b56/gettext-tools/po PO files for the Gettext project]&lt;br /&gt;
