💖 po2mozlang — the glow-up translator 💖

okay bestie, so po2mozlang is a lil command-line icon from the Translate Toolkit squad (we're on version 3.19.5, noted 📝) and what it does is literally take your Gettext PO localization files and convert them into Mozilla .lang files. that's it, that's the job. no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's how you call her:

po2mozlang [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-t|--template TEMPLATE] [-S|--timestamp] [--mark-
active] [--threshold PERCENT] [--fuzzy] [--nofuzzy]

she's giving "one command, whole lotta options" energy and honestly? obsessed. 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

every single flag, present and accounted for, no skipping, fr fr:

  • --version — spill the program's version number and then dip out. exit. bye. 👋
  • -h/--help — show this help message and then exit, for when you're like "wait what"
  • --manpage — spit out a manpage built from the help. meta, honestly. 🎀
  • --progress — show progress as one of: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe ✨
  • --errorlevel — show errorlevel as one of: none, message, exception, traceback. choose how much drama you want when things go sideways 💀
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot formats. this is the source material bestie 📥
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not everything gets an invite to the party 🙈
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in lang format. the main character of destinations 👑
  • -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in lang format. use this when you want the output shaped by an existing .lang bestie 🧚
  • -S/--timestamp — skip the conversion if the output file already has a newer timestamp. lowkey smart, saves you work ⭐
  • --mark-active — mark the file as active. she's online, she's live, she's active 💖
  • --threshold — only convert files where the translation completion is above PERCENT. perfectionism but make it a flag 🔥
  • --fuzzy — use translations that are marked fuzzy
  • --nofuzzy — don't use translations marked fuzzy. this one is the default, bestie, so if you say nothing, fuzzy translations stay uninvited 🫶
heads up queen: --nofuzzy is the default behaviour. if you want the fuzzy ones in, you have to actually ask with --fuzzy.

🌈 a lil sign-off 🌈
