Description:
pomerge 0.1.4
Script to merge translations from a set of po files to other set of po files.
pomerge does not care about .po file names, a translation
from one file can land in another as long as their msgid are identical.
Usage
Basic usage is pomerge --from source.po --to dest.po, see
pomerge --help for more.
--from and --to are optional, when not given, pomerge will use
a temporay file. So:
pomerge --from a/**/*.po --to b/**/*.po
is strictly equivalent to:
pomerge --from a/**/*.po
pomerge --to b/**/*.po
The wrapping of your .po files is not kept by pomerge,
completly destroying the readability of git diffs, to fix this I use
poindent.
Recipes
Propagating translations from a directory to another
When you’re having two directories with .po files and want to copy
translations (msgstr) from one to another, even if the hiearchy is
not the same, run:
pomerge --from ../contributors/**/*.po --to **/*.po
In this case, two options can be useful:
--no-overwrite: Avoid touching already translated strings.
--mark-as-fuzzy: Mark all new translations as fuzzy, usefull
when you know you’ll have to proofread the translations.
Propagating known translations
In big projects, there may be multiple occurrences of the same string
in different .po files, to automatically fill blanks with already
translated ones, use:
pomerge --no-overwrite --from **/*.po --to **/*.po
The --no-overwrite is usefull if the same msgstr has already
been translated twice, but differently (depending on the context
maybe), the --no-overwrite will prevent one to be overwritten by
the other.
Synchronizing translation between git branches
If you’re having multiple branches of your documentation to track
multiple branches of your project, you may want to synchronize known
translations between branches, you can do it like this:
git checkout master # The place where your contributors work
pomerge --from **/*.po # Make pomerge "learn" this set of translations
git checkout old_version # The translation for an old branch
pomerge --to **/*.po
This way you can still make old translation progress a bit while
focusing only on the current master.
