po files are described here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/gettext/PO-Files.html
they are used to translate text strings in programms (comments, messages).
Usually you have (after gettext use) two lines in the file: the
original (mostly english) one and, below, the translated one.
The gettext compatible programs are able to display the right langage
gven the po file in some folder, no modification in the initial
program file is necessary.
This have nothing to do with documents, and certainly not with
translation (I was translating openSUSE for two years now, among other
things).
Right now, the best translating support is the wiki.
Copy the original HOWTO (if licence allows) to your localised page,
enclose the original texte in {{{ }}} (display raw) et move the
initial {{{ during the translation.
