I'm using the following versions:
$ rpm -qi procps-ng
Name : procps-ng
Version : 3.3.8
Release : 14.fc20
Architecture: x86_64
$ rpm -qi doclifter
Name : doclifter
Version : 2.13
Release : 2.fc20
When trying to convert the installed top.1:
$ cp /usr/share/man/man1/top.1.gz .
$ gunzip top.1.gz
$ doclifter ./top.1

doclifter: there were 77 errors during translation
My version of procps-ng is too old for that matter, it works without problems
with the newest top.1 from Gitorious. But doesn't matter, I would prefer po4a
anyway, so we need a working translation stack based on that and don't have to
bother with doclifter. But before that, the effort should be concentrated on
making the UI translatable. Well, it is translatable actually, but it still
has to be published via translationproject.org. I see some appropriate changes
last days in Gitorious so I hope we get the pot file soon from TP.
Best Regards,
Mario
