 ### automatic POT/PO update
 
 Use the `change` hook instead of `needsbuild`?

-Translating online
-------------------
-
-As PO is a wiki page type, we already have an online PO editor, that
-is ikiwiki's CGI.
-
-**FIXME** preview does not work for PO files.

-A message-by-message interface could also be implemented at some
-point; a nice way to do offline translation work (without VCS access)

-Translating offline without VCS access
---------------------------------------
-
-The following workflow should be made possible for translators without
-VCS access who need to edit the PO files in another editor than a web
-browser:
-
-- download the page's PO file
-- use any PO editor to update the translation
-- upload the updated PO file
-
-Implementation note: a generic mechanism to upload a page's source is
-needed: it's only an alternative way to allow saving a the modified
-page's source with the CGI.
-
-### Short-term workflow
-
-A possible workaround is:
-
-- pretend to edit the PO file online
-- copy the PO file content from the textarea
-- cancel the edit
-- paste the content into a local file.
-- edit the local file in any PO editor
-- pretend to edit the PO file online
-- paste the modified local file's content into the edit textarea
-- save
