intltool-update − updates PO template file and merge translations with it
intltool-update
[option]...
intltool-update LANGCODE
intltool-update generates new po file templates from source code, and merges existing translations with these new po templates.
You must change working directory to the subdirectory containing translations (usually "po/") before running intltool-update.
When executing intltool-update , only one mode of operation is allowed each time.
Mode of operation
−p |
−−pot
Generate po template (.pot) only.
−s |
−−headers
Executes intltool-extract(8) to extract strings inside XML/INI style files listed in POTFILES.in, and writes the extracted strings into header files, so that the strings can be recognised by xgettext(1).
−m |
−−maintain
Search for left out files, which should have been listed in POTFILES.in or POTFILES.skip. A list of all these files are written into another file called "missing".
−r |
−−report
Display a status report for all translations in the software.
−d LANGCODE
−−dist LANGCODE
Merge LANGCODE.po with existing PO template.
Other
options
−g NAME
−−gettext-package=NAME
Manually specify PO template file name, instead of determining the name automatically from source. Useful with −p/−−pot option. This option has an additional effect: the name of current working directory is no more limited to "po" or "po-*".
−o FILENAME
−−output-file=FILENAME
Manually specify output FILENAME after merging old translation with PO template. Useful either with −d/−−dist option or without any option.
−x |
−−verbose
Display lots of feedback.
−−version
Show version information.
−−help
Show usage and basic help information.
Creates a new PO template from source code, and name it foo.pot:
intltool-update −−pot −−gettext−package=foo
Updates translation file xy.po using existing po template called "bar.pot", and writes output into "xy1.po":
intltool-update --dist --gettext-package=bar --output-file=xy1.po xy
Creates new PO template and updates translation file xy.po (xy.po is overwritten with new content):
intltool-update xy
(same as intltool-update --pot && intltool-update --dist xy)
po/POTFILES.in
Contains list of source files which contain translatable strings, one file per line.
po/POTFILES.skip
po/POTFILES.ignore (obsolete)
Contains list of source files which should be ignored when searching for translatable strings.
