PO4A-NORMALIZE

NAME

po4a-normalize - normalize a documentation file by parsing it in po4a, and writing it back

SYNOPSIS

po4a-normalize -f fmt master.doc

DESCRIPTION

The po4a ( PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

The po4a-normalize script is a debugging tool used to make sure that po4a don’t change the document when it’s not supposed to. Only use it if you’re developing a new module, or if you doubt the sanity of the tools.

The generated document will be written to po4a-normalize.output while the generated POT file will be written to po4a-normalize.po by default, but you can use the --localized and --pot options to change that.

OPTIONS

-o, --option

Extra option(s) to pass to the format plugin. See the documentation of each plugin for more information about the valid options and their meanings. For example, you could pass ’-o tablecells’ to the AsciiDoc parser, while the text parser would accept ’-o tabs=split’.

-b, --blank

Create an blank translated document. The generated translated document will be generated assuming all messages are translated by a space or new line.

This is useful to check what parts of the document cannot be translated.

-h, --help

Show a short help message.

--help-format

List the documentation formats understood by po4a.

-f, --format

Format of the documentation you want to handle. Use the --help-format option to see the list of available formats.

-M, --master-charset

Charset of the file containing the document to translate.

-l, --localized

Name of the normalized file to produce (po4a-normalize.output by default).

-p, --pot

Pot file to produce (po4a-normalize.po by default).

-V, --version

Display the version of the script and exit.
