NAME
       poreencode - Reencode all files of a PO directory to the specified encoding.

SYNOPSIS
       poreencode encoding PO-directory

       Where encoding is the encoding you would like to convert to eg.	UTF-8, and PO-directory is a directory of existing PO files.

DESCRIPTION
       Takes a directory of existing PO files and converts them to a given encoding.

OPERATION
       poreencode  makes use of the Gettext tool msgconv(1) to perform its task. It traverses the PO directory and finds all PO file. It uses msg-
       conv(1) to convert the PO file from its existing encoding to the new encoding.

BUGS
       Like most Gettext tools they do a little bit more than documented, msgconv(1) will decide which strings are in fact fuzzy and delete  fuzzy
       marking	-  not	a  lot but you do need to diff (this probably related to #, fuzzy entries that are not placed in the place Gettext expects
       them).
