====== ts2po and po2ts ====== Convert Qt .ts localization files to Gettext .po format files using ts2po and convert the translated PO files back to TS using po2ts. The Qt toolkit comes with a localization application, Qt Linguist, however you might wish to standardise on one localization tool. ts2po allows you to standardise on the PO format and PO related tools. ===== Usage ===== ts2po [options] po2ts [options] Where: | | is a Qt .ts file or directory that contains .ts files | | | is a PO file or a directory of PO files | Options (ts2po): | --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 ts format | | -xEXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE | exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths | | -oOUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT | write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats | | [[psyco_mode|--psyco=MODE]] | use psyco to speed up the operation, modes: none, full, profile | | -P, --pot | output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po) | Options (po2ts): | --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 ts format | | -tTEMPLATE, --template=TEMPLATE | read from TEMPLATE in ts format | | [[psyco_mode|--psyco=MODE]] | use psyco to speed up the operation, modes: none, full, profile | ===== Examples ===== ts2po -P psi.ts psi.pot This will create a POT file called //psi.pot// from the Qt .ts file called //psi.ts//. po2ts af.po psi_af.ts Now take your translated PO files //af.po// and convert it into a translated Qt .ts file, //psi_af.ts//. Note: you need to use the tools from the Qt toolkit to create the compiled .qm language files for the application. ===== Bugs ===== There are probably still some bugs related to migrating the various attributes across for the different formats.
