potool

POTOOL(1)						      General Commands Manual							 POTOOL(1)

NAME

       potool - program for manipulating gettext po files

SYNOPSIS

       potool FILENAME1 [ FILENAME2 ] [-f f|nf|t|nt|nth|o|no] [-n ctxt|id|str|cmt|ucmt|pcmt|scmt|dcmt|tr|linf]...  [-s] [-c]

       potool -h

DESCRIPTION

       potool works in two (so far) modes. The first mode requires providing one file name, and works as a filter. In the second mode, the program
       replaces the translations in FILENAME1 with the translations from FILENAME2.  (So FILENAME1 is the base po file,  while	FILENAME2  is  our
       working copy.)

OPTIONS

       -f filter
	      Determines  which  po  file  entries should be retained.	In the second mode, the filters are applied only to FILENAME2 (the working
	      copy).  Existing filters are:
	      t   - translated entries
	      nt  - untranslated entries
	      nth - untranslated entries and the header
	      f   - fuzzy entries
	      nf  - entries that are not fuzzy
	      o   - obsolete entries
	      no  - non-obsolete entries
	      It is possible to stack filters, by specifying multiple -f options.

       -n filter
	      Determines which po file entries parts should not be retained. Any number of -n options is allowed. Valid parameters are:
	      ctxt  - don't write 'ctxt' parts
	      id    - don't write 'id' parts
	      str   - don't write 'str' parts
	      tr    - don't write translations
	      ucmt  - don't write user's comments
	      pcmt  - don't write the comments regarding position in source files
	      scmt  - don't write special comments ('#, fuzzy, c-format, ...')
	      dcmt  - don't write reserved comments (usually starting with a dot)
	      cmt   - don't write any comments
	      linf  - change source line numbers to '1'.

	      The last parameter is useful when you need to compare two po or pot files using diff(1) as it usually returns  lots  of  unimportant
	      line number changes otherwise.

       -s     Don't display the entries themselves, only their count.

       -c     Overwrite all msgstrs with their msgids.

       -h     Display short usage help.

EXAMPLES

       potool x.po -s -ft
	      displays the number of translated entries. See also postats(1).

       potool x.po -nstr
	      Deletes all translations - so you can start from scratch! :-)

       potool x.po -ft && potool x.po -fnt
	      displays	firstly the translated and then the non-translated entries from file x.po (reverse order is not recommended because of the
	      first "header" entry).  The output contains all information from x.po, with the difference that  untranslated  entries  are  located
	      together in a single place.

       potool x.po -fnt > tmp.po && editor tmp.po && potool x.po tmp.po
	      lets you easily add new translations, without looking at the already translated entries

       The last two examples are implemented as the potooledit(1) program.
