csv2tbx(1)

💅 csv2tbx — the girlies are converting CSV to TBX

okay so bestie, you know those plain little .csv files? the comma-separated ones that everyone and their mom emails around? yeah. this is the tool that scoops those up and turns them into a TermBase eXchange (.tbx) glossary file. glossary glow-up, no cap. ✨

This one lives in the Translate Toolkit family — that's <pink>Translate Toolkit 3.12.1</pink> era, iykyk — and it's a little command-line main character.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

csv2tbx [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-S|--timestamp] [--charset CHARSET]
[--columnorder]

like, that's the whole vibe check right there 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so there's a whole docs page with the actual examples and usage instructions, and honestly it's giving study guide. Go look:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/csv2tbx.html

that's the link, write it down, it's for examples and usage instructions 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — shows the program's version number and then dips. exit stage left, iconic. 👑
• -h/--help — shows this help message and peaces out. your first stop always.
• --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help. yes, the tool makes its own documentation. self-sufficient queen.
• --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your fighter. 💅
• --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. how much do you want to know when things go sideways, bestie? 😭
• -i/--input — read from INPUT in csv format. this is where your lil comma files go.
• -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. not you, not you, definitely not you. 🙈
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in tbx format. the glow-up destination. ✨
• -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp. lowkey lazy-girl efficiency, and honestly? valid. no point redoing work that's already done. 🍓
• --charset — set charset to decode from csv files. so your emoji and accented letters don't come out looking like 💀
• --columnorder — specify the order and position of columns (comment,source,target). you get to say which column is which. main character energy, choosing your own layout. 🌸

fr fr bestie: -i/-o are the ones you'll actually live in. the rest are seasoning. 💜

csv2tbx is out here doing the most so your glossaries can be cute and portable. She ships as part of Translate Toolkit 3.12.1 — that's the version, that's the vibe, periodt. 🧚💖
