PROGRAM:

NAME


poedit - program to aid editing gettext po files

SYNOPSIS


poedit [-a] [-p] [-n] <file.po>

potooledit [-a] [-p] [-n] <file.po>

DESCRIPTION


poedit is a shell script, which uses potool(1), iconv(1) and your favourite editor to help
you edit gettext po files.

It first retrieves only the untranslated entries from the file (or, if -a is specified,
reorders the entries so that the translated ones are grouped separately from the
untranslated ones) and puts them into a temporary file. Then recodes the file to the
charmap of your current locale, and runs your favourite editor on the temporary file so
you can add new translations. After you have finished, it recodes the file back to the
original charset and merges the new translations back into the original file.

poedit is also known as potooledit on Debian systems, to avoid a name clash with an
unrelated program of the same name.

OPTIONS


-a causes poedit to include already translated entries as well in the temporary file
for editing (they are grouped separately, though).
Without this option, only the untranslated entries (and the file header) are
presented for editing.

-p causes poedit to keep the formatting of the file intact. Without this option, all
strings will be re-wrapped at newlines or word boundaries to fit in 80 columns.

-n causes poedit not to do any charset recoding before nor after editing the file.
You should only use this option if you know what you are doing. Be particularly
careful when using this option (without -a) on files that are in an encoding
incompatible with your locale's charmap. In that case, the intermediate file to be
edited will probably only contain ASCII characters, which means your editor will be
free to interpret this as your default locale encoding. This in turn, will make the
file invalid when it is merged together with the already translated messages. See
Debian bug #297074 for an example of this happening.

CAVEATS


By default, the program re-wraps lines in all strings in the edited file. See the -p
option.
