🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so the actual docs with examples and usage instructions live over here:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/symb2po.html

go read it if you want the full lore, that's the side quest 🧚

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --version — shows the program's version number and then dips. bye 👋
  • -h/--help — shows this help message and exits. self-explanatory bestie 💖
  • --manpage — outputs a manpage based on the help. manpage-ception fr fr
  • --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe check ✅
  • --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. how much do you wanna know when things go wrong 😭
  • -i/--input — read from INPUT in r01 format 📥
  • -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. not my problem, blocked 🚫
  • -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats 📤
  • -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in (yes, the original literally leaves the format blank, we don't make the rules) 🫶
  • -S/--timestamp — skip the conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. lowkey efficient ⏭️
  • -P/--pot — output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po) 🎁
  • --duplicates — what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt'). yes bestie, msgctxt is the default, no cap 👑
⚠️ heads up: the -t/--template option's format is left blank in the original docs, so we're not gonna invent one for you. don't come for me 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 go forth and convert those Symbian files, main character energy only 🌈

— with love from the Translate Toolkit 3.19.5 crew, and your girl symb2po(1) — 🦋💜
