potools 0.3.1

potools

This package contains command line tools to help manage translations.

• podiff: Shows the differences between two po files. It only cares about the default value, msgid and msgstr, not about position in the file. You can also specify a version control repository with which to compare a file with.

• pogetnew: Compares two po files and return all new entries that need to be translated. Output is printed to stdout, in the format as a valid po file, so that it can be sent to translator.

• pocheck: Checks the pot/po file for smells.

  • The Translate Toolkit provides a similar tool called pofilter. Pocheck aims to not duplicate any of the functionality already in pofilter.

• pounique: Takes several po files (or directories of po files) and return one pofile (or a directory of pofiles) with unique values. It can pick the values either from the last file given, or my making a “best guess”.

• poupdate: Will update the first po file with values from the second.

• popopulate: Will replace any empty messages with their Default message, if there is one, and mark it as fuzzy.
