pocompile

Compile PO files into MO (Machine Object) files. MO files are installed on your computer and allow a gettext enabled system to translate the application.

Usage

pocompile <po> <mo>

Where:

<po> is a standard PO file or directory
<mo> is the output MO (Compiled PO) file or directory

Options:

--version show program’s version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--manpage output a manpage based on the help
--progress=PROGRESS show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose
--errorlevel=ERRORLEVEL show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback
-iINPUT, --input=INPUT read from INPUT in po, pot formats
-xEXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths
-oOUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT write to OUTPUT in mo format
--psyco=MODE use psyco to speed up the operation, modes: none, full, profile
--fuzzy use translations marked fuzzy
--nofuzzy don’t use translations marked fuzzy (default)

Examples

pocompile --fuzzy file.po file.mo

Creates a new MO file called file.mo based on the translation in the PO file file.po. By using the --fuzzy option we use all translations including those marked fuzzy.
