@pindex msgconv
|
|
@cindex @code{msgconv} program, usage
|
|
@example
|
|
msgconv [@var{option}] [@var{inputfile}]
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
@cindex convert translations to a different encoding
|
|
The @code{msgconv} program converts a translation catalog to a different
|
|
character encoding.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Input file location
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item @var{inputfile}
|
|
Input PO file.
|
|
|
|
@item -D @var{directory}
|
|
@itemx --directory=@var{directory}
|
|
@opindex -D@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --directory@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Add @var{directory} to the list of directories. Source files are
|
|
searched relative to this list of directories. The resulting @file{.po}
|
|
file will be written relative to the current directory, though.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
If no @var{inputfile} is given or if it is @samp{-}, standard input is read.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Output file location
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item -o @var{file}
|
|
@itemx --output-file=@var{file}
|
|
@opindex -o@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --output-file@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Write output to specified file.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
The results are written to standard output if no output file is specified
|
|
or if it is @samp{-}.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Conversion target
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item -t
|
|
@itemx --to-code=@var{name}
|
|
@opindex -t@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --to-code@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Specify encoding for output.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
The default encoding is the current locale's encoding.
|
|
|
|
@subsection Input file syntax
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item -P
|
|
@itemx --properties-input
|
|
@opindex -P@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --properties-input@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Assume the input file is a Java ResourceBundle in Java @code{.properties}
|
|
syntax, not in PO file syntax.
|
|
|
|
@item --stringtable-input
|
|
@opindex --stringtable-input@r{, @code{msgonv} option}
|
|
Assume the input file is a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file in
|
|
@code{.strings} syntax, not in PO file syntax.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
@subsection Output details
|
|
|
|
@c --no-escape and --escape omitted on purpose. They are not useful.
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
@item --force-po
|
|
@opindex --force-po@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Always write an output file even if it contains no message.
|
|
|
|
@item -i
|
|
@itemx --indent
|
|
@opindex -i@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --indent@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Write the .po file using indented style.
|
|
|
|
@item --no-location
|
|
@opindex --no-location@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Do not write @samp{#: @var{filename}:@var{line}} lines.
|
|
|
|
@item --add-location
|
|
@opindex --add-location@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Generate @samp{#: @var{filename}:@var{line}} lines (default).
|
|
|
|
@item --strict
|
|
@opindex --strict@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Write out a strict Uniforum conforming PO file. Note that this
|
|
Uniforum format should be avoided because it doesn't support the
|
|
GNU extensions.
|
|
|
|
@item -p
|
|
@itemx --properties-output
|
|
@opindex -p@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --properties-output@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Write out a Java ResourceBundle in Java @code{.properties} syntax. Note
|
|
that this file format doesn't support plural forms and silently drops
|
|
obsolete messages.
|
|
|
|
@item --stringtable-output
|
|
@opindex --stringtable-output@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file in @code{.strings} syntax.
|
|
Note that this file format doesn't support plural forms.
|
|
|
|
@item -w @var{number}
|
|
@itemx --width=@var{number}
|
|
@opindex -w@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --width@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Set the output page width. Long strings in the output files will be
|
|
split across multiple lines in order to ensure that each line's width
|
|
(= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given @var{number}.
|
|
|
|
@item --no-wrap
|
|
@opindex --no-wrap@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Do not break long message lines. Message lines whose width exceeds the
|
|
output page width will not be split into several lines. Only file reference
|
|
lines which are wider than the output page width will be split.
|
|
|
|
@item -s
|
|
@itemx --sort-output
|
|
@opindex -s@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --sort-output@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Generate sorted output. Note that using this option makes it much harder
|
|
for the translator to understand each message's context.
|
|
|
|
@item -F
|
|
@itemx --sort-by-file
|
|
@opindex -F@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --sort-by-file@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
Sort output by file location.

|
|
Display this help and exit.
|

|
|
@item -V
|

|
|
@opindex -V@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|
|
@opindex --version@r{, @code{msgconv} option}
|

Output version information and exit.
