NAME

itstool - convert between XML and PO using ITS

SYNOPSIS

itstool [OPTIONS] XMLFILES...
itstool -m <MOFILE> [OPTIONS] XMLFILES...
itstool -j <XMLFILE> [OPTIONS] MOFILES...

DESCRIPTION

itstool extracts messages from XML files and outputs PO template files, then merges
translations from MO files to create translated XML files. It determines what to translate
and how to chunk it into messages using the W3C Internationalization Tag Set (ITS).

To extract messages from XML files XMLFILES and output them to OUT.pot:

itstool -o OUT.pot XMLFILES

After merging with existing translations or translating strings, generate an MO file with
msgfmt(1), then output translated files to the directory DIR:

itstool -m OUT.mo -o DIR XMLFILES

You can also create a single multilingual XML output file using an input XML file and a
set of MO files:

itstool -j FILE.xml -o OUT.xml MOFILES

ITS definitions are loaded from the built-in rules, rules embedded in the source XML
files, files passed with the -i option, and ITS attributes in the source XML files. Later
definitions take precedence. You can disable built-in rules by passing the -n option.
