💖 idml2po — the IDML-to-PO glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to idml2po, one of the little cuties from the Translate Toolkit (we're on version 3.19.5, in case you were wondering ✨). Her whole entire job? Take your IDML files and turn them into PO localization files. That's it. That's the girl. Converting, slaying, moving on. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

idml2po — convert IDML files to PO localization files. no cap, that's literally the whole name. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

idml2po [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-S|--timestamp]

she's giving "one command, so many little flags" energy. let's break it all the way down, babe 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --version — spills the program's version number and then dips. so iconic of her.
  • -h/--help — shows you this help message and exits. the classic "help me help you" moment 🫶
  • --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help. a manpage-ception situation. we love to see it.
  • --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe, girl 💫
  • --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. how much drama do you want when something goes wrong? choose wisely 😭
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in idml format. this is where you hand her the goods.
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. a lil "not you, not today" filter 🙈
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats. the glow-up destination ✨
  • -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp. she's not doing work she doesn't have to do, and honestly? queen behavior 👑
lowkey reminder bestie: -i/--input and -o/--output are the main character flags here — they're the ones actually making the conversion happen. everything else is decoration and vibes ✨

that's the whole page, bestie — you read it, you understood it, you ate. 💅 this lil writeup came to you straight from the Translate Toolkit 3.19.5, so shoutout to the source and the version, mwah 🫶🎀 stay converting, stay slaying, iykyk 💖
