json2po(1)

✨ json2po(1) — the glow-up edition ✨

okay so bestie, real talk: this is json2po from the Translate Toolkit, version 3.12.1 — and no, I did not forget the version, we're getting to that at the end 💖 It's a whole little conversion icon that takes your JSON files and turns them into Gettext PO localization files. It's giving translator-baddie pipeline energy, fr fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

json2po [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-t|--template TEMPLATE] [-S|--timestamp]
[-P|--pot] [--filter FILTER] [--duplicates DUPLICATESTYLE]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, the actual docs live over at:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/json2po.html

and that's where you go for examples and usage instructions. that link is your bestie for the deep lore 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out, exit stage left
• -h/--help — shows this help message and then also dips
• --manpage — outputs a manpage built from the help. yes bestie, the tool writes its own manpage, iconic behavior 👑
• --progress — show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose
• --errorlevel — show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback
• -i/--input — read from INPUT in json format
• -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats
• -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in json format
• -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp (lowkey a little lazy-girl hack and we respect it)
• -P/--pot — output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po)
• --filter — leaves to extract, e.g. 'name,desc': (default: extract everything). like, everything everything. no filter, no thoughts, just vibes ✨
• --duplicates — what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt')

ngl, when in doubt just don't touch the defaults — --duplicates ships as 'msgctxt' and --filter ships as "extract everything", and they're that girl for a reason 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie 🦋 go forth and convert your JSON. mwah 💖
