-@pindex msgen
-@cindex @code{msgen} program, usage
-@example
-msgen [@var{option}] @var{inputfile}
-@end example
-
-@cindex generate translation catalog in English
-The @code{msgen} program creates an English translation catalog. The
-input file is the last created English PO file, or a PO Template file
-(generally created by xgettext). Untranslated entries are assigned a
-translation that is identical to the msgid, and are marked fuzzy.
-
-Note: @samp{msginit --no-translator --locale=en} performs a very similar
-task. The main difference is that @code{msginit} cares specially about
-the header entry, whereas @code{msgen} doesn't.
-
-@subsection Input file location
-
-@table @samp
-@item @var{inputfile}
-Input PO or POT file.
-
-@item -D @var{directory}
-@itemx --directory=@var{directory}
-@opindex -D@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-@opindex --directory@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Add @var{directory} to the list of directories. Source files are
-searched relative to this list of directories. The resulting @file{.po}
-file will be written relative to the current directory, though.
-
-@end table
-
-If @var{inputfile} is @samp{-}, standard input is read.
-
-@subsection Output file location
-
-@table @samp
-@item -o @var{file}
-@itemx --output-file=@var{file}
-@opindex -o@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-@opindex --output-file@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Write output to specified file.
-
-@end table
-
-The results are written to standard output if no output file is specified
-or if it is @samp{-}.
-
-@subsection Output details
-
-@c --no-escape and --escape omitted on purpose. They are not useful.
-
-@table @samp
-@item --force-po
-@opindex --force-po@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Always write an output file even if it contains no message.
-
-@item -i
-@itemx --indent
-@opindex -i@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-@opindex --indent@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Write the .po file using indented style.
-
-@item --no-location
-@opindex --no-location@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Do not write @samp{#: @var{filename}:@var{line}} lines.
-
-@item --add-location
-@opindex --add-location@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Generate @samp{#: @var{filename}:@var{line}} lines (default).
-
-@item --strict
-@opindex --strict@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Write out a strict Uniforum conforming PO file. Note that this
-Uniforum format should be avoided because it doesn't support the
-GNU extensions.
-
-@item -w @var{number}
-@itemx --width=@var{number}
-@opindex -w@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-@opindex --width@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Set the output page width. Long strings in the output files will be
-split across multiple lines in order to ensure that each line's width
-(= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given @var{number}.
-
-@item --no-wrap
-@opindex --no-wrap@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Do not break long message lines. Message lines whose width exceeds the
-output page width will not be split into several lines. Only file reference
-lines which are wider than the output page width will be split.
-
-@item -s
-@itemx --sort-output
-@opindex -s@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-@opindex --sort-output@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Generate sorted output. Note that using this option makes it much harder
-for the translator to understand each message's context.
-
-@item -F
-@itemx --sort-by-file
-@opindex -F@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-@opindex --sort-by-file@r{, @code{msgen} option}
-Sort output by file location.
