AZW3 to POT conversion is the process of extracting or transforming content from an Amazon Kindle AZW3 eBook file into a POT (Portable Object Template) file, which stores translatable message templates for localization workflows. This conversion typically involves pulling plain text and metadata from the AZW3 container, mapping user-visible strings into POT entries, and preserving context to enable accurate translation.
