- Usage: msgmerge [OPTION] def.po ref.pot
- Merges two Uniforum style .po files together. The def.po file is an
- existing PO file with translations which will be taken over to the newly
- created file as long as they still match; comments will be preserved,
- but extracted comments and file positions will be discarded. The ref.pot
- file is the last created PO file with up-to-date source references but
- old translations, or a PO Template file (generally created by xgettext);
- any translations or comments in the file will be discarded, however dot
- comments and file positions will be preserved. Where an exact match
- cannot be found, fuzzy matching is used to produce better results.
- Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
- Input file location:
- def.po translations referring to old sources
- ref.pot references to new sources
- -D, --directory=DIRECTORY add DIRECTORY to list for input files search
- -C, --compendium=FILE additional library of message translations,
- may be specified more than once
- Operation mode:
- -U, --update update def.po,
- do nothing if def.po already up to date
- Output file location:
- -o, --output-file=FILE write output to specified file
- The results are written to standard output if no output file is specified
- or if it is -.
- Output file location in update mode:
- The result is written back to def.po.
- --backup=CONTROL make a backup of def.po
- --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix
- The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through
- the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:
- none, off never make backups (even if --backup is given)
- numbered, t make numbered backups
- existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
- simple, never always make simple backups
- The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or the SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX
- environment variable.
- Operation modifiers:
- -m, --multi-domain apply ref.pot to each of the domains in def.po
- -N, --no-fuzzy-matching do not use fuzzy matching
- --previous keep previous msgids of translated messages
- Input file syntax:
- -P, --properties-input input files are in Java .properties syntax
- --stringtable-input input files are in NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings
- syntax
- Output details:
- --lang=CATALOGNAME set 'Language' field in the header entry
- --color use colors and other text attributes always
- --color=WHEN use colors and other text attributes if WHEN.
- WHEN may be 'always', 'never', 'auto', or 'html'.
- --style=STYLEFILE specify CSS style rule file for --color
- -e, --no-escape do not use C escapes in output (default)
- -E, --escape use C escapes in output, no extended chars
- --force-po write PO file even if empty
- -i, --indent indented output style
- --no-location suppress '#: filename:line' lines
- --add-location preserve '#: filename:line' lines (default)
- --strict strict Uniforum output style
- -p, --properties-output write out a Java .properties file
- --stringtable-output write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep .strings file
- -w, --width=NUMBER set output page width
- --no-wrap do not break long message lines, longer than
- the output page width, into several lines
- -s, --sort-output generate sorted output
- -F, --sort-by-file sort output by file location
- Informative output:
- -h, --help display this help and exit
- -V, --version output version information and exit
- -v, --verbose increase verbosity level
- -q, --quiet, --silent suppress progress indicators
