NAME

       intltool-merge - merge translated strings into various file types, such as XML

SYNOPSIS

       intltool-merge  [--desktop-style]  [--help]  [--keys-style] [--oaf-style] [--pass-through] [--quiet] [--utf8] [--version] [--xml-style] po-
       directory filename output-file

DESCRIPTION

       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.
