💖 po2rc(1) 💖

bestie. sit down. grab a strawberry 🍓. it's a Translate Toolkit moment — version 3.19.5 — and today we're turning your Gettext PO localization files back into Windows Resource (.rc) files. yes, backwards. no, it's not weird, it's iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

po2rc — ok so literally the whole vibe: convert Gettext PO localization files back to Windows Resource (.rc) files. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

po2rc [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-t|--template TEMPLATE] [-S|--timestamp]
[--charset CHARSET] [--charset-output CHARSET] [-l|--lang LANG]
[--sublang SUBLANG] [--threshold PERCENT] [--fuzzy] [--nofuzzy]

look at all those flags. she's got range. 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like, if you want the actual examples and usage instructions, the manpage is literally sending you here:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/rc2po.html

(yes it says rc2po.html even though this is po2rc. that is not a typo on my part, bestie, that is just the link. do not come for me. 💀)

that's the whole description. short. mysterious. main character energy. 🧚

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay here's the part you're actually here for. every single one. no skips.

  • --version — show the program's version number and then dip. bye! 👋
  • -h/--help — show this help message and exit. the classic.
  • --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help. it's giving meta. 🪞
  • --progress — show progress as one of: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your aesthetic.
  • --errorlevel — show errorlevel as one of: none, message, exception, traceback.
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot formats.
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not her, not today. 🙈
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in rc format.
  • -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in rc format.
  • -S/--timestamp — skip the conversion if the output file already has a newer timestamp. she said "already done, moving on". 💅
  • --charset — charset to use to decode the template RC files (default: utf-8).
  • --charset-output — charset to use to encode the RC file (default: auto).
  • -l/--lang — the LANG entry.
  • --sublang — the SUBLANG entry (default: SUBLANG_DEFAULT).
  • --threshold — only convert files where the translation completion is above PERCENT. gatekeeping, but make it quantitative. 📊
  • --fuzzy — use translations marked fuzzy.
  • --nofuzzy — don't use translations marked fuzzy (this is the default, bestie, so if you do nothing, this is what you get).
⚠️ real talk: --fuzzy and --nofuzzy are opposites and --nofuzzy wins by default. don't be surprised when your fuzzy strings ghost you. 😭

there isn't one in this page, bestie. it's just her. solo era. 🌈

that's the whole thing, hope it slayed. this gorgeous page came to you courtesy of Translate Toolkit 3.19.5, and if you're reading the footer — yes, that same date and version, we said it twice because you deserve consistency. 💜 now go convert something. periodt. 🫶⭐
