NAME

       pocompendium - Create a PO compendium from a directory of PO files.

SYNOPSIS

       pocompendium [options] output.po <-d po-directory(ies)|po-file(s)>

DESCRIPTION

       Takes  a  directory of translated PO files and creates a single PO files called a PO compendium. This compendium can be used to review word
       choice conflicts or as input during a merge using pomigrate(1).

OPTIONS

       -v, --invert
	      creates an inverse compendium with msgid and msgstr swapped

       -e, --errors
	      only ouput message bundles that have conflicts

       -c, --correct
	      only ouput message bundles that are correctly translated

       -i, --ignore-case
	      drops all strings to lowercase

       -st, -tilde, --strip-accel-amp
	      remove all & style accelerator markers

       -sa, -amp, --strip-accel-tilde
	      remove all ~ style accelerator markers

       -su, --strip-accel-under
	      remove all _ style accelerator markers

EXAMPLES

   Compendium creation
       create a compendium with all your translations to use as input during a message merge either when migrating an existing project or starting
       a new one.

   Conflicting translations
       use --errors to find where you have translated an English string differently. Many times this is OK but often it will pick up subtle spell-
       ing mistakes or help you to migrate older translations to a newer choice of words.

   Conflicting word choice
       use --invert and --errors to get a compendium file that show how you have used a translated word for different  English	words.	You  might
       have  chosen  a	word  that is valid for both of the English expressions but that in the context of computers would cause confusion for the
       user.  You can now easily identify these words and make changes in the underlying translations.

Narrowing Results
       PO files treat slight changes in capitalisation, accelerator, punctuation and whitespace as different translations.  In	cases  2)  and	3)
       above it is sometimes useful to remove the inconsistencies so that you can focus on the errors in translation not on shifts in capitals. To
       this end you can use the following: --ignore-case, --strip-accel-amp, --strip-accel-tilde, --strip-accel-under.

OPERATION

       pocompendium makes use of the Gettext tool msgcat(1) to perform its task. It traverses the PO directories and cat's all found PO files into
       the  single compendium output file. It then uses msgattrib(1) to extract only certain messages, msghack to invert messages and msgfilter(1)
       to convert messages to lowercase.

BUGS

       There are some absolute/relative path name issues.
