l10n and PO file helper tools
Project description
dennis is a command line tool for translating and linting .po files.
It includes the following subcommands:
translate: Translates strings in .po files into something else! Comes with an HTML extractor (tokenizes strings so that only the text is translated) and a Pirate! translation. This is helpful for l10n testing, development, finding unicode/layout problems, amazing your friends, hilarious April 1st shenanigans, etc.
The system allows for other translators and extractors using a loosely coupled pipeline.
This also works on strings passed in as command line arguments and as stdin—it doesn’t have to be a .po file or in a .po format.
lint: Lints .po files for cases where there are variable formatting tokens in msg strings that aren’t in the translated strings and vice versa.
The system allows for defining other variable formats.

Why is it called dennis?
This is how I name my software projects.
Status
July 13th, 2013
I added a bunch of tests and docs and transforms and stuff. It’s fun. It works for me. It meets my needs.
It’s got missing bits and holes and stuff. If it doesn’t meet your needs, add an issue to the tracker.
I’m probably only going to work on things that interest me. For everything else, if you’re interested in working on it, let me know first preferably by commenting on a relevant issue in the issue tracker.
