Description of problem: po4a generates POT files even though containing no documents, when it just refers other man pages with .so say. so that would be nice if there are any way to prevent pushing such POT files into the server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): zanata-client-3.1.1-1.fc20.noarch
Considering fixing this on po4a isn't an option, because man command doesn't try to find out the localized man pages without the man pages containing .so command in the localized directory. e.g. setgroups(2) points to getgroups(2) though, if missing /usr/share/man/<lang>/man2/setgroups.2(.gz), man picks up /usr/share/man/man2/setgroups.2.gz and show /usr/share/man/man2/getgroups.2.gz instead of localized one, even if it is available. Thus, POT files are required to generate for all of languages, but uploading the no-document POT files to the web might be annoyed for translators.
Akira, Do you mean: 1) Zanata should skip the POT file without name. (i.e. ".pot"), or 2) Zanata should skip the POT file without content (i.e. empty file)?

Eventually both. but 1 is another issue I've separately filed as Bug#1121058, which looks more like a bug rather than RFE.
I suppose it would make more sense to exclude empty source documents (like empty POT) by default.
Is there any sort of empty file "placeholder" use case for a document upload?
(In reply to Damian Jansen from comment #5) > Is there any sort of empty file "placeholder" use case for a document upload? there are so many empty documents in man-pages-l10n project.
