xliff2po¶
Converts XLIFF localization files to Gettext PO files. XLIFF is the XML Localization Interchange File Format developed by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) to allow translation work to be standardised no matter what the source format and to allow the work to be freely moved from tool to tool.

xliff2po [options] <xliff> <po>
Where:
<po> |
is a PO file or directory of PO files |
<xliff> |

Bugs¶
This filter is not yet extensively used… expect bugs. See XLIFF to see how well our implementation conforms to the standard.
The PO plural implementation is still very new and needs active testing.
