symb2po(1)

📦 version 3.12.1, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💅 symb2po(1) — the Symbian-to-PO glow-up you didn't know you needed ✨

okay so bestie, real talk: this is a page from the Translate Toolkit manual (version 3.12.1, if you're keeping score 🎀), and it's all about symb2po, the little icon that takes your Symbian localisation files and turns them into Gettext PO localization files. it's giving translator-girlie-makeover montage, no cap 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

symb2po — literally converts Symbian localisation files into Gettext PO localization files. that's the whole vibe. that's the assignment. periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole fit, laid out exactly as it comes:

symb2po [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-t|--template TEMPLATE] [-S|--timestamp]
[-P|--pot] [--duplicates DUPLICATESTYLE]

she's got a lot of accessories but honestly? each one eats. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, the manpage itself keeps it short and sweet here — it just points you at the docs:

See: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/symb2po.html for examples and usage instructions.

like okayyy, go read the lore 😌 that link has the examples and the usage instructions, and iykyk that's where the real details live.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single flag, accounted for, because we do not leave options behind in this house 🫶

  • --version — shows the program's version number and exits. bye girl, identity confirmed ✨
  • -h/--help — shows this help message and exits. the classic cry for guidance, we've all been there 😭
  • --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help. manpage-ception, iconic behavior 💀
  • --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your little progress aesthetic 🌈
  • --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. how much drama do you want when things go wrong, choose your fighter 💅
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in r01 format. that's the Symbian file coming in, bestie 🍓
  • -x/--exclude — excludes names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. not me filtering out the flops 🙈
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats. the glow-up destination 🌸
  • -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in. yep, that's the whole description — short and mysterious, she's giving main character energy with no backstory 🧚
  • -S/--timestamp — skips conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. lowkey efficient, highkey sensible ⭐
  • -P/--pot — outputs PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po). template mode, unlocked 🔥
  • --duplicates — what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt'). the default is msgctxt, bestie, don't forget 🎀

💜 a lil sign-off 💜

and that's the whole page, bestie! it came to you straight from the Translate Toolkit, version 3.12.1 — she's a 3.12.1 girlie through and through — and this particular edition of symb2po(1) is dated right there alongside it. mwah, go slay your localisation files 💖🦋✨
