po2html(1)

💖 po2html(1) — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is po2html, a lil gem from the Translate Toolkit 3.19.5 era, and she does ONE thing and she does it gorgeously: she takes your Gettext PO localization files and uses them to translate HTML files. Yes literally. PO in, translated HTML out. It's giving bilingual main character energy ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

po2html — translate HTML files using Gettext PO localization files. That's it, that's the whole job, and she ate 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

po2html [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-t|--template TEMPLATE] [-S|--timestamp]
[--threshold PERCENT] [--fuzzy] [--nofuzzy]

no cap, that's the entire invocation. every flag, every argument, exactly as written 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Sooo the actual how-to, the examples, the usage instructions — all of that lives in the docs, and the manpage is just gonna point you there like a good big sister:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/html2po.html

bestie go read it, the manpage is literally telling you to 💖 (the link says html2po but that's what the original says, so we're keeping it fr fr, character for character, not me editing a manpage 🙈)

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single one. no skipping. we do NOT skip options in this house 👑

• --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out. exit stage left 💅
• -h/--help — prints this help message and then leaves. classic.
• --manpage — spits out a manpage built from the help. manpage-ception 🌀
• --progress — shows progress, and you get to pick the flavour: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your aesthetic ✨
• --errorlevel — sets how loud the errors are: none, message, exception, traceback. from "pretend nothing happened" to "whole entire stack trace on main" 😭
• -i/--input — read from INPUT, in po, pot formats. this is your translation source, your queen 👑
• -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not today, file 🚫
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT, in htm, html, xhtml formats. the glow-up destination 🦋
• -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE, in htm, html, xhtml formats. the blueprint, the inspo pic 🌈
• -S/--timestamp — skips the conversion if the output file already has a newer timestamp. if it's fresher than you, she's not touching it 💀
• --threshold — only converts files where the translation completion is above PERCENT. so like, if it's under the bar, she's simply not participating 🙈
• --fuzzy — use translations that are marked fuzzy. go ahead, use the maybe-correct ones, live your truth ✨
• --nofuzzy — don't use translations marked fuzzy. this is the default, so if you say nothing, fuzzy ones get left on read 🧚

ngl, --fuzzy and --nofuzzy are opposites and only one can be your default bestie — and the default is --nofuzzy, periodt.
