✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet po2ts — she's a little converter queen 👑 and what she does is literally take your Gettext PO localization files and turn them into Qt Linguist (.ts) files. that's it, that's the job, and she eats every time 💅

🌸 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]

like, that's the whole glow-up routine right there. arguments in, .ts out, no notes 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk — if you want the full lore, the examples, and the actual usage instructions, the manpage says go look here:

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

that's the vibe. go read it, iykyk 💖

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out, exit stage left ✨
  • -h/--help — shows this help message and then also dips out. iconic behaviour, no notes 🫶
  • --manpage — spits out a manpage based on the help. very meta of her 💅
  • --progress — lets you pick how the progress looks. your options are: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your aesthetic bestie 🌈
  • --errorlevel — controls how much drama you get when things go wrong. choices are: none, message, exception, traceback. for the record, traceback is the full main-character meltdown 😭
  • -i/--input — this is where you read from, and INPUT should be in po, pot formats 🍓
  • -x/--exclude — yeets any names matching EXCLUDE out of the input paths. not me, not today 🙈
  • -o/--output — where the finished product goes. you write to OUTPUT in ts format 💖
  • -t/--template — reads from TEMPLATE in ts format. yes you can start from a template, she contains multitudes ⭐
  • -S/--timestamp — if the output file already has a newer timestamp, she just skips the whole conversion. no point redoing work that's already slayed 🔥
  • -c/--context — uses the context you supply instead of the one sitting in the .po file comment 👑
⚠️ quick vibe check: -S/--timestamp means your conversion gets skipped entirely if the output is newer — so if you're confused why nothing happened, that's your girl, not a bug.

and that's the whole thing, bestie — po2ts from the Translate Toolkit 3.19.5 era, converting PO → TS like the absolute legend she is. go forth and localize 💖✨🎀🦋🌸
