pomigrate

DELETEME deprecated please use pomigrate2 to migrate your files

Takes a directory of new PO Template files and merges them with an existing directory of translated PO files. This is ideal if you are migrating your translations from an older version to a new version.

Prerequisites

GNU Gettext

Usage

pomigrate po-directory pot-directory [compendium(s)]

where:

po-directory is a directory of existing PO files
pot-directory is the directory of new POT files
compendium is an optional number of compendium files

Operation

pomigrate makes use of the Gettext tools msgmerge to perform its task. It traverses the POT directory and finds a matching PO file. It merges the two files using and supplied compendium files.

Bugs

pomigrate will not create or initialise files that exist in the pot-directory but are not present in the po-directory.

pomigrate does not identify or delete files that are no longer present in the pot-directory.
