🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the actual vibe here is documented elsewhere, and I'm not gonna gatekeep the link:

See: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/ini2po.html for examples and usage instructions.

(no cap, that's where the examples and usage instructions live. go read it, it's giving educational. 📚✨)

✨ OPTIONS ✨

every single one of them, bestie, no skips, no skimming, we are doing this properly 🫶

  • --version — show the program's version number and then dip. bye! 👋
  • -h/--help — show this help message and exit. your emergency bestie when you forget a flag 😭
  • --manpage — output a manpage based on the help. manpage-ception. 🤯
  • --progress — show progress as one of: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your aesthetic 💅
  • --errorlevel — show errorlevel as one of: none, message, exception, traceback. how much detail do you want when things go sideways 🙈
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot formats. this is where you point at your PO files 💖
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not today, satan 🚫
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in ini, isl formats. two formats, one icon 🎀
  • -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in ini, isl formats. she copies the shape of the template 🌸
  • -S/--timestamp — skip the conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. lowkey lazy highkey efficient ⭐
  • --threshold — only convert files where the translation completion is above PERCENT. set the bar, queen 👑
  • --fuzzy — use translations marked fuzzy. yes, the fuzzy ones, we're getting them ✨
  • --nofuzzy — don't use translations marked fuzzy. this is the default, so if you don't say anything, fuzzy stays out of the party 🎉
⚠️ real talk: --fuzzy and --nofuzzy are opposites, and --nofuzzy is what you get unless you say otherwise. don't fight me on this, it's literally in the manual 💀
