NAME¶
poreencode - Re-encode all files of a PO directory to the specified encoding.
SYNOPSIS¶
poreencode encoding PO-directory
Where encoding is the encoding you would like to convert to
eg. UTF-8, and PO-directory is a directory of existing PO files.
DESCRIPTION¶
Takes a directory of existing PO files and converts them to a given encoding.
OPERATION¶
poreencode makes use of the Gettext tool msgconv(1) to perform its
task. It traverses the PO directory and finds all PO file. It uses
msgconv(1) to convert the PO file from its existing encoding to the new
encoding.
BUGS¶
Like most Gettext tools they do a little bit more than documented,
msgconv(1) will decide which strings are in fact fuzzy and delete fuzzy
marking - not a lot but you do need to diff (this probably related to #, fuzzy
entries that are not placed in the place Gettext expects them).
