prop2po(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is prop2po(1) — the command that converts Java/Mozilla .properties files to Gettext PO localization files. it’s giving “localization glow-up” and honestly? obsessed. 💅✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

run it like this, no cap:

prop2po [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-t|--template TEMPLATE] [-S|--timestamp]
[-P|--pot] [--personality TYPE] [--encoding ENCODING] [--duplicates
DUPLICATESTYLE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the manual is literally like: See: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/prop2po.html for examples and usage instructions. that’s the whole description, bestie — go peek at the examples and usage tea. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

every flag, zero gatekeeping:

• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. short, sweet, iconic. 💅
• -h/--help — shows this help message and exits. your built-in tutorial era. 🫶
• --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help. yes, manpage-ception. ✨
• --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe. 🌈
• --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. choose how much chaos you want to see. 😭
• -i/--input — reads from INPUT in lang, properties, strings formats. feed her the source, bestie. 🍓
• -x/--exclude — excludes names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. not invited to the party. 🙈
• -o/--output — writes to OUTPUT in po, pot formats. that’s the destination, periodt. 💖
• -t/--template — reads from TEMPLATE in lang, properties, strings formats. template bestie has entered the chat. 🎀
• -S/--timestamp — skips conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. lowkey efficient. ⭐
• -P/--pot — outputs PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po). pot not po, iykyk. 🔥
• --personality — overrides the input file format: java, java-utf8, java-utf16, xwiki, flex, mozilla, gaia, gwt, skype, strings, strings-utf8, joomla (for .properties files, default: java). so many little personalities, all valid. 👑
• --encoding — overrides the encoding set by the personality. encoding said “not today,” you said “actually yes.” 💀
• --duplicates — what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt'). duplicate drama, handled. 💜

mwah 💋 — that’s the prop2po(1) page from Translate Toolkit 3.12.1; the footer didn’t list a separate date, so I’m not inventing one, bestie. slay responsibly. 💖🎀
