 6 Creating a New PO File
 ************************
 
 When starting a new translation, the translator creates a file called
 `LANG.po', as a copy of the `PACKAGE.pot' template file with
 modifications in the initial comments (at the beginning of the file)
 and in the header entry (the first entry, near the beginning of the
 file).
 
    The easiest way to do so is by use of the `msginit' program.  For
 example:
 
      $ cd PACKAGE-VERSION
      $ cd po
      $ msginit
 
    The alternative way is to do the copy and modifications by hand.  To
 do so, the translator copies `PACKAGE.pot' to `LANG.po'.  Then she
 modifies the initial comments and the header entry of this file.
