hello!

i have been a user of gpg for many years so i thought it was maybe time t=
o give back :D

I want to help out on the translation of the gnupg2 family of programs. I=
 have been translating for some Free Software applications for a while an=
d I am used a little to the gettext format.

I already contributed an update to gnupg2 (still needs a final touch), an=
d I want to start translating libgpg-error.

The libgpgerror sourcecode does not have a po/es.po file yet :(

So I cloned the repo at https://dev.gnupg.org/source/libgpg-error.git

I tried to generate an es.po file with `intltool-update -p` but it failed=
 because some files are missing, and even when I added such files to POTF=
ILES.in, the resulting es.po file was very short (only 29 strings, compar=
ed to i.e. 444 in the de.po file).

While translating the gnupg es.po file it was nice for me to be able to g=
enerate my file, because i could have a look at the code easily with the =
references intltool added on top of each string. With Poedit I can just r=
ight-click on a string while translating, and a browser will open with th=
e exact line of code where this string is generated. Th.is gives me idea =
of the context and I can make a better translation then (and practice my =
rusty C as a bonus)

I did a test, copying the German version and deleting the translations to=
 start anew. I will follow up this way if I cannot generate the .po files=
 myself, even when it looks a bit dodgy and I depend on the other transla=
tions to be updated, and I have no way to check on this.

But I would really like to be able to generate the files myself if that i=
s possible.

Is there any link to instructions on how to generate .pot files, and refr=
esh po/$LOCALE.po files from them? I looked at the webpage and the readme=
s in the repo but I could not find any.

If not, I will just go with the 'copy from German po' approach.
