po2ts(1)

📦 version 3.12.1, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💅 po2ts — like, the whole manual, but make it make sense 💅

Hey bestie, welcome to po2ts(1), a tiny little icon from the Translate Toolkit era that takes your Gettext PO files and turns them into Qt Linguist .ts files. No cap, it's a whole glow-up for your translations. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

po2ts — converts Gettext PO localization files into Qt Linguist (.ts) files. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

po2ts [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-t|--template TEMPLATE] [-S|--timestamp]
[-c|--context]

That's the whole vibe check right there — copy it, paste it, and let her cook. 🎀

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Okay so real talk: if you want the actual examples and usage instructions (not just the vibes), the manual points you here, and I'm keeping the link exactly as it is because it's important:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/ts2po.html

Go read it, bestie. It's giving "required reading before the group project." 📚✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Here's every single flag, no skipping, no "I'll just skim," we're doing this properly. 💅

  • --version — shows the program's version number, then dips. Super quick, super iconic. 🫶
  • -h/--help — shows this help message, then exits. Your safety net when you're like "wait what does anything do." 😭
  • --manpage — outputs a manpage built from the help. Manpage-ception, honestly. 🔥
  • --progress — shows progress as any of: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. Pick your fave, choose your own adventure. ⭐
  • --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as any of: none, message, exception, traceback. Like a spice level but for how much error detail you can handle. 🌶️
  • -i/--input — reads from INPUT in po, pot formats. Your source material, main character energy. 💜
  • -x/--exclude — excludes names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. Boundaries! We love boundaries! 🙈
  • -o/--output — writes to OUTPUT in ts format. The final look, the reveal, the whole moment. ✨
  • -t/--template — reads from TEMPLATE in ts format. A lil mood board to work from. 🎀
  • -S/--timestamp — skips conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. She's efficient, she's not doing unnecessary work, we stan. 💀
  • -c/--context — uses the supplied context instead of the one in the .po file comment. Override queen behavior, honestly. 👑
Heads up bestie: those formats (po, pot in; ts out) are literal — don't try to feed her something else and expect magic. 🫶
