🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

fr fr, the real tea (examples!! usage instructions!! the whole lore!!) lives right here:

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

go read it bestie, it's giving tutorial excellence 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out. bye! 🫶
  • -h/--help — prints this help message and exits. your girl always has a cheat sheet ready.
  • --manpage — spits out a manpage based on the help output. manpage-ception, iconic.
  • --progress — show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe for watching it go ⭐
  • --errorlevel — show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. how much do you wanna know when things go sideways 😭
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in po, pot, tmx, xlf, xliff formats. hand her the files, she handles the rest.
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. not today, satan 🙈
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot, tmx, xlf, xliff formats. she's multilingual, obviously.
  • -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. she's not gonna redo work she already ate 💅
  • -P/--pot — output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po). template era ✨
  • -l/--language — the target language code. which language are we serving today, bestie?
  • --source-language — the source language code, default is 'en'. yes, English by default, main character energy.
  • --keepspaces — disable automatic stripping of whitespace. if you love your spaces, protect them 🥺
  • --only-aligned — removes units where the sentence number does not correspond. mismatched? not on her watch. gone. 🔥
💜 lowkey important: --only-aligned literally drops units whose sentence number doesn't line up, so if you were counting on those, they're not coming back. no cap.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! you understood it, you ate it, you slayed it 💖
