potooledit

POEDIT(1)						      General Commands Manual							 POEDIT(1)

NAME

       poedit - program to aid editing gettext po files

SYNOPSIS

       poedit [-a] [-n] <file.po>

       potooledit [-a] [-n] <file.po>

DESCRIPTION

       poedit is a shell script, which uses potool(1), iconv(1) and your favourite editor to help you edit gettext po files.

       It  first  retrieves  only the untranslated entries from the file (or, if -a is specified, reorders the entries so that the translated ones
       are grouped separately from the untranslated ones) and puts them into a temporary file.	Then recodes the file to the charmap of your  cur-
       rent  locale, and runs your favourite editor on the temporary file so you can add new translations. After you have finished, it recodes the
       file back to the original charset and merges the new translations back into the original file.

       poedit is also known as potooledit on Debian systems, to avoid a name clash with an unrelated program of the same name.

OPTIONS

       -a     causes poedit to include already translated entries as well in the temporary file for editing (they are grouped separately, though).
	      Without this option, only the untranslated entries (and the file header) are presented for editing.

       -n     causes poedit not to do any charset recoding before nor after editing the file.
	      You should only use this option if you know what you are doing. Be particularly careful when using this option (without -a) on files
	      that are in an encoding incompatible with your locale's charmap. In that case, the intermediate file to be edited will probably only
	      contain ASCII characters, which means your editor will be free to interpret this as your default locale encoding. This in turn, will
	      make the file invalid when it is merged together with the already translated messages. See Debian bug #297074 for an example of this
	      happening.

SEE ALSO

       potool(1), postats(1), locale charmap(1), msgmerge(1), msgfmt(1).
