5 Making the PO Template File
*****************************
After preparing the sources, the programmer creates a PO template file.
This section explains how to use `xgettext' for this purpose.
`xgettext' creates a file named `DOMAINNAME.po'. You should then
rename it to `DOMAINNAME.pot'. (Why doesn't `xgettext' create it under
the name `DOMAINNAME.pot' right away? The answer is: for historical
reasons. When `xgettext' was specified, the distinction between a PO
file and PO file template was fuzzy, and the suffix `.pot' wasn't in
use at that time.)
