pocompile¶

Compile PO or XLIFF files into MO (Machine Object) files. MO files are installed on your computer and allow a Gettext enabled computer to provide the translations for the application.

Usage¶

pocompile <po> <mo>

Where:

<po/xliff>	is a standard PO file, XLIFF file or directory
<mo>	is the output MO file or directory of MO files

Options:

--version: show program’s version number and exit
-h, --help: show this help message and exit
--manpage: output a manpage based on the help
--progress=PROGRESS: show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose
--errorlevel=ERRORLEVEL: show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback
-i INPUT, --input=INPUT: read from INPUT in xlf, po, pot formats
-x EXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE: exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths
-o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT: write to OUTPUT in mo format
-S, --timestamp: skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp
--fuzzy: use translations marked fuzzy
--nofuzzy: don’t use translations marked fuzzy (default)

Examples¶

pocompile --fuzzy file.po file.mo

Creates a new MO file called file.mo based on the translation in the PO file file.po. By using the --fuzzy option we use all translations including those marked fuzzy.

pocompile file.xlf file.mo

Create an MO file from an XLIFF file called file.xlf (available from version 1.1 of the toolkit).
