NAME

       intltool-unicodify - convert .po file, containing translations, to UTF-8 encoding

SYNOPSIS

       intltool-unicodify [--help] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--version] language-code

DESCRIPTION

       The  intltool-unicodify,  intltoolize,  intltool-extract,  and intltool-update utilities identify localizable content in application source
       code, and extract this content into translatable .po message catalog files.

       intltool-unicodify uses the CHARSET value set in the first message string of the .po file, to determine the suitable iconv conversion flags
       to convert the file to UTF-8 encoding.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --help	       Show usage and basic help information.

       --overwrite     Overwrite the original file. You can also use -o to specify this option.

       --verbose       Provide additional feedback. You can also use -x to specify this option.

       --version       Show version information.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       language-code   Specifies the language code of the file that you wish to convert to UTF-8 encoding.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Converting a German File (de.po) to UTF-8 Encoding

       example% intltool-unicodify de

       This creates the UTF-8 encoded file da.po-1 in the same directory.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       >0	Application exited with failure

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/bin/intltool-unicodThe command-line executable for the application.

NAME

       intltool-prepare - Prepare software to make use of intltool

SYNOPSIS

       intltool-prepare [option] [KEYWORD]...

DESCRIPTION

       For  software  packages	that  include  some specific type of translatable files (such as .desktop and .soundlist), before they make use of
       intltool, translators have to dig through them one by one, and add their localization into each file. This process is  error  prone,  since
       translators  may  include  typing  errors, or add their localization in wrong encoding. Besides, translators may not alwas know other files
       (beside .po files) are translatable.

       intltool avoids all the problems above by extracting strings inside those translatable files into po template (.pot) file. All  translators
       need to care about is just translating po files. Afterwards, intltool-merge(8) will merge localized strings into those files.

       Before  your  software  becomes intltool-aware, a few issues have to be sorted out, and intltool-prepare tries to take care of all of them.
       intltool-prepare will:

       o Extract all localized strings in .desktop style files (including ".desktop", ".soundlist", ".keys" and ".directory")  into  corresponding
	 po files.

       o Convert the translatable files into templates that don't contain any localization.

       o Add the list of template files above into POTFILES.in.

       o Add the list of old translatable files into .cvsignore (since they will be generated by intltool later).

       o Add the rules for generating these files into Makefile.am.

       NOTE: You must change working directory to the top level source directory before running intltool-prepare.

OPTIONS

       KEYWORD is a list of additional keywords beside "Name", "Comment" and "description". intltool-prepare will recognize any line starting with
       those KEYWORD and extract localized strings after equal sign ("=").

       -x
       --verbose
	   Be verbose to give user additional feedback.

       -v
       --version
	   Show version information.
       -h
       --help
	   Show usage and basic help information.
