intltool-update8

Mode of operation

-p

--pot

Generate po template (.pot) only.

-s

--headers

Executes intltool-extract(8) to extract strings inside XML/INI style files listed in POTFILES.in, and writes the extracted strings into header files, so that the strings can be recognised by xgettext(1).

-m

--maintain

Search for left out files, which should have been listed in POTFILES.in or POTFILES.skip. A list of all these files are written into another file called "missing".

-r

--report

Display a status report for all translations in the software.

-d LANGCODE

--dist LANGCODE

Merge LANGCODE.po with existing PO template.

Other options

-g NAME

--gettext-package=NAME

-o FILENAME

--output-file=FILENAME

Manually specify output FILENAME after merging old translation with PO template. Useful either with -d/--dist option or without any option.

-x

--verbose

Display lots of feedback.

--version

--help
