🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

want the ✨lore✨? want examples and actual usage instructions so you're not just guessing like it's a group chat?

See: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/txt2po.html for examples and usage instructions.

that's the assignment. go read it, it's giving homework but make it cute 📚✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

every single one, no gatekeeping, periodt:

  • --version — show the program's version number and then dip (exit).
  • -h/--help — show this help message and exit. the classic. iconic. never not useful.
  • --manpage — spit out a whole manpage based on the help. meta, lowkey.
  • --progress — show progress as one of: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe for the lil loading moment 🌈
  • --errorlevel — show errorlevel as one of: none, message, exception, traceback. choose how much you wanna hear about problems, fr fr 😭
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot, xlf, xliff formats. that's the source material bestie.
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not today, satan 💀
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in txt format. the glow-up destination ✨
  • -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in txt format. the blueprint, the inspo 🎀
  • -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. she's efficient, she's not doing unnecessary work 💅
  • --encoding — the encoding of the template file (default: UTF-8). UTF-8 girlies, we stay winning 🫶
  • -w/--wrap — set the number of columns to wrap text at. aesthetics matter!! 🌸
  • --flavour — the flavour of the text file: plain (default), dokuwiki, mediawiki. yes she said flavour, taste it 👑
  • --no-segmentation — don't segment the file, treat it like a single message. one big paragraph, one big mood 💖
  • --threshold — only convert files where the translation completion is above PERCENT. no incomplete energy in this house 🚫
  • --fuzzy — use translations marked fuzzy. risky but cute 🙈
  • --nofuzzy — don't use translations marked fuzzy. this is actually the default, so she's the sensible queen here 👑
⚠️ heads up bestie: --fuzzy and --nofuzzy are opposites and --nofuzzy is what you get if you say nothing. so like, know which one you want before you commit, okay? no cap.
