πŸ’– wxl2po(1) β€” the glow-up your WiX files have been waiting for πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because wxl2po is about to walk into your terminal and change your whole localization game. it lives in the Translate Toolkit (version 3.19.5, iconique) and it's a command line tool, bestie. it does the thing. it takes WiX Localization files and turns them into Gettext PO localization files. no cap. πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

the vibes, the lore, the full tea β€” go read:

http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/wxl2po.html

it has examples. it has usage instructions. it's literally giving documentation. go look, i'll wait. 🫢


πŸ‘‘ OPTIONS πŸ‘‘

every single one, no skipping, we don't do that here:

  • --version β€” show the program's version number and then dip. πŸ“Œ
  • -h/--help β€” show this help message and exit. your girl tells you how she works and bounces.
  • --manpage β€” output a manpage based on the help. meta much? iconic.
  • --progress β€” show progress as one of: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your aesthetic. πŸ’«
  • --errorlevel β€” show errorlevel as one of: none, message, exception, traceback. how dramatic do you want the yikes to be? πŸ”₯
  • -i/--input β€” read from INPUT in wxl format. this is the thing you're converting, bestie.
  • -x/--exclude β€” exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths. bye bye, not today, excluded. πŸ™ˆ
  • -o/--output β€” write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats. this is where the magic lands.
  • -t/--template β€” read from TEMPLATE in wxl format. the blueprint, the inspo board. πŸ“‹
  • -S/--timestamp β€” skip conversion if the output file has a newer timestamp. she checks first, she doesn't do redundant work, we love a boundary-setting queen. ✨
  • -P/--pot β€” output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po). lowercase .po, uppercase .pot, know the difference, it matters. πŸ’€

friendly reminder bestie: commands, flags, formats and file extensions above are all literal. copy them exactly as written or the terminal will simply not get the vision. no cap.
