txt2po(1)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, meet txt2po(1) from the Translate Toolkit 3.12.1 era — she converts plain text (.txt) files into Gettext PO localization files. It’s giving “glow-up for your plain text,” fr fr. 💅✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

txt2po [--version] [-h|--help] [--manpage] [--progress PROGRESS]
[--errorlevel ERRORLEVEL] [-i|--input] INPUT [-x|--exclude EXCLUDE]
[-o|--output] OUTPUT [-S|--timestamp] [-P|--pot] [--encoding] [--flavour
FLAVOUR] [--no-segmentation] [--duplicates DUPLICATESTYLE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The manpage literally says: see http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/txt2po.html for examples and usage instructions. That’s the whole description vibe — no extra lore, no cap. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --version — show the program’s version number and exit. Iconic little exit, ngl. 👑
• -h/--help — show this help message and exit. Your built-in bestie when you’re lost. 🎀
• --manpage — output a manpage based on the help. Yes, she can generate her own manual-page energy. ✨
• --progress — show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. Pick your progress aesthetic, bestie. 🌈
• --errorlevel — show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. Choose how much error drama you can handle. 💀
• -i/--input — read from INPUT in *, txt formats. That’s the source-text main character. 📥
• -x/--exclude — exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. Not me filtering out the irrelevant files. 🙈
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats. This is where the translated magic lands. 💖
• -S/--timestamp — skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp. Lowkey the “if it’s already fresher, leave it alone” option. ⭐
• -P/--pot — output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po). Templates girlies, rise. 🧚
• --encoding — the encoding of the input file (default: UTF-8). Keep those characters from having a whole crisis. 🌸
• --flavour — the flavour of text file: plain (default), dokuwiki, mediawiki. Choose your text-file cuisine. 🍓
• --no-segmentation — don’t segment the file, treat it like a single message. One big text blob, one big vibe. 🦋
• --duplicates — what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt'). Duplicate drama, handled. 💅

That’s the txt2po(1) page, brought to you by Translate Toolkit 3.12.1 — footer date tea was not listed, so I’m not inventing any, bestie. 💜✨
