NAME
itstool - convert between XML and PO using ITS SYNOPSIS
itstool [OPTIONS] [XMLFILES] itstool -m <MOFILE> [OPTIONS] [XMLFILES] DESCRIPTION
itstool extracts messages from XML files and outputs PO template files, then merges translations from MO files to create translated XML files. It determines what to translate and how to chunk it into messages using the W3C Internationalization Tag Set (ITS). To extract messages from XML files FILES and output them to OUT.pot: itstool -o OUT.pot FILES After merging with existing translations or translating strings, generate an MO file with msgfmt(1), then output translated files to the directory DIR: itstool -m OUT.mo -o DIR FILES ITS definitions are loaded from the built-in rules, rules embedded in the source XML files, files passed with the -i option, and ITS attributes in the source XML files. Later definitions take precedence. OPTIONS
Extracting -o FILE --out=FILE output PO template to the file OUT Merging -m FILE --merge=FILE merge from an MO file FILE and output XML files -l LANG --lang=LANG explicitly set the language code output to XML -o FILE --out=FILE output XML files in the directory OUT Common -i ITS --its=ITS load the ITS rules in the file ITS (can specify multiple times) AUTHOR

intltool-merge merges translated strings in .po files in po-directory with the original application file filename, to create the file out- put-file which contains both the original and the localized strings. Afterwards, the application XML file contains repeated xml-nodes, where each xml--node contains one of all translations and an xml:lang attribute. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --desktop-style Include translations in the desktop style. You can also use -d to specify this option. --help Show usage and basic help information. You can also use -h to specify this option. --keys-style Include translations in the keys style. You can also use -k to specify this option. --oaf-style Include translations in the oaf style. You can also use -o to specify this option. --pass-through Use strings as found in .po files, without conversion (not recommended). You can also use -p to specify this option. --quiet Operate in quiet mode; do not provide feedback. You can also use -q to specify this option. --schemas-style Include translations in the schemas style. You can also use -s to specify this option. --utf8 Convert all strings to UTF-8 encoding before merging. You can also use -u to specify this option. --version Show version information. You can also use -v to specify this option. --xml-style Include translations in the standard XML style. You can also use -x to specify this option. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: po-directory Specifies the location of the translated .po files. filename Specifies the name of the original application file. output-file Specifies the name of the file to be created by the intltool-merge command, to contain both the original and the localized strings. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Merging the Contents of the Translated .po Files in the po Directory With the Original File foo.desktop.in to Create foo.desktop example% intltool-merge ./po foo.desktop.in foo.desktop -d -u EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Application exited successfully >0 Application exited with failure FILES
