[wp-polyglots] Please help me get started with gettext

[Richard M. Pavonarius]

I've read the codex and the gettext manual and I still
don't understand. I would like to use a new theme in
Japanese. 

All I want to do is add to ja.po the files that are in
the theme. I can figure out the rest, but I can't seem
to figure out how to get started.

I have the ja.po file from
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/ja_JP/trunk/messages/
My guess is I need to create a new PO file then merge
it with the above.

I found a script that I think creates the file I need:
http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=POTscript I
installed and did chmod +x, but there are no
instructions on how to use it. My best guess is I run
it on the directory containing wordpress like this:

./wp-gettext.bin wordpress

But I received the error "language `php' unknown"
FWIW, I'm using Dreamhost.

I assume the trick to getting started is something not
too difficult, but for the life of me I can't figure 
it out.

Thank you,

Rich
