msgmerge Program msgmerge [option] def.po ref.pot jpayne@68: |
The msgmerge program merges two Uniforum style .po files together.
jpayne@68: The def.po file is an existing PO file with translations which will
jpayne@68: be taken over to the newly created file as long as they still match;
jpayne@68: comments will be preserved, but extracted comments and file positions will
jpayne@68: be discarded. The ref.pot file is the last created PO file with
jpayne@68: up-to-date source references but old translations, or a PO Template file
jpayne@68: (generally created by xgettext); any translations or comments
jpayne@68: in the file will be discarded, however dot comments and file positions
jpayne@68: will be preserved. Where an exact match cannot be found, fuzzy matching
jpayne@68: is used to produce better results.
jpayne@68:
Translations referring to old sources. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:References to the new sources. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Add directory to the list of directories. Source files are jpayne@68: searched relative to this list of directories. The resulting ‘.po’ jpayne@68: file will be written relative to the current directory, though. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Specify an additional library of message translations. See section Using Translation Compendia. jpayne@68: This option may be specified more than once. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Update def.po. Do nothing if def.po is already up to date. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Write output to specified file. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:The results are written to standard output if no output file is specified jpayne@68: or if it is ‘-’. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68: jpayne@68: jpayne@68:The result is written back to def.po. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Make a backup of def.po jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Override the usual backup suffix. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:The version control method may be selected via the --backup option
jpayne@68: or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the
jpayne@68: values:
jpayne@68:
Never make backups (even if --backup is given).
jpayne@68:
Make numbered backups. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Make numbered backups if numbered backups for this file already exist, jpayne@68: otherwise make simple backups. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Always make simple backups. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:The backup suffix is ‘~’, unless set with --suffix or the
jpayne@68: SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX environment variable.
jpayne@68:
Apply ref.pot to each of the domains in def.po. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Produce a PO file meant for msgfmt only, not for a translator.
jpayne@68: This option omits untranslated messages, fuzzy messages (except the header
jpayne@68: entry), and obsolete messages from the output. Also, it omits translator
jpayne@68: comments and ‘#: filename:line’ lines from the output.
jpayne@68: In particular, this option implies ‘--no-fuzzy-matching’.
jpayne@68:
Do not use fuzzy matching when an exact match is not found. This may speed jpayne@68: up the operation considerably. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Keep the previous msgids of translated messages, marked with ‘#|’, when jpayne@68: adding the fuzzy marker to such messages. jpayne@68:
Assume the input files are Java ResourceBundles in Java .properties
jpayne@68: syntax, not in PO file syntax.
jpayne@68:
Assume the input files are NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource files in
jpayne@68: .strings syntax, not in PO file syntax.
jpayne@68:
Specify the ‘Language’ field to be used in the header entry. See jpayne@68: Filling in the Header Entry for the meaning of this field. Note: The jpayne@68: ‘Language-Team’ and ‘Plural-Forms’ fields are left unchanged. jpayne@68: If this option is not specified, the ‘Language’ field is inferred, as jpayne@68: best as possible, from the ‘Language-Team’ field. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Specify whether or when to use colors and other text attributes.
jpayne@68: See The --color option for details.
jpayne@68:
Specify the CSS style rule file to use for --color.
jpayne@68: See The --style option for details.
jpayne@68:
Always write an output file even if it contains no message. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Write the .po file using indented style. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Do not write ‘#: filename:line’ lines. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Generate ‘#: filename:line’ lines (default). jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:The optional type can be either ‘full’, ‘file’, or
jpayne@68: ‘never’. If it is not given or ‘full’, it generates the
jpayne@68: lines with both file name and line number. If it is ‘file’, the
jpayne@68: line number part is omitted. If it is ‘never’, it completely
jpayne@68: suppresses the lines (same as --no-location).
jpayne@68:
Write out a strict Uniforum conforming PO file. Note that this jpayne@68: Uniforum format should be avoided because it doesn't support the jpayne@68: GNU extensions. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Write out a Java ResourceBundle in Java .properties syntax. Note
jpayne@68: that this file format doesn't support plural forms and silently drops
jpayne@68: obsolete messages.
jpayne@68:
Write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file in .strings syntax.
jpayne@68: Note that this file format doesn't support plural forms.
jpayne@68:
Set the output page width. Long strings in the output files will be jpayne@68: split across multiple lines in order to ensure that each line's width jpayne@68: (= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given number. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Do not break long message lines. Message lines whose width exceeds the jpayne@68: output page width will not be split into several lines. Only file reference jpayne@68: lines which are wider than the output page width will be split. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Generate sorted output. Note that using this option makes it much harder jpayne@68: for the translator to understand each message's context. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Sort output by file location. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Display this help and exit. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Output version information and exit. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Increase verbosity level. jpayne@68:
jpayne@68:Suppress progress indicators. jpayne@68:
