NAME

       pomigrate2 - Migrates PO files from an old version using new POT files.

SYNOPSIS

       pomigrate [options] from to new-templates

       Where  from  is a directory of existing PO files, to is the directory where the migrated PO files will be
       stored, and new-templates is the directory that contains the PO Template files.

DESCRIPTION

       pomigrate2 aims to move an existing translation to a new version  based  on  updated  PO  Template  files
       automatically without user intervention.  Therefore it is ideal for when you are migrating many languages
       or migrating from related but divergent products eg Mozilla to Firefox.

OPTIONS

       -F, --use-fuzzy-matching
              use fuzzy algorithms when merging to attempt to match strings

       -C, --use-compendium
              create and use a compendium built from the migrating files

       -C, --use-compendium=some-compendium.po
              use an external compendium during the migration

       --no-wrap
              do not wrap long lines

       --locale
              set locale for newly born files

       -q, --quiet
              suppress most output

       -p, --pot2po
              use pot2po(1) instead of msgmerge(1) to migrate (you cannot use compendia)

OPERATION

       pomigrate2 makes use of the Gettext tools msgmerge or Translate Toolkits pot2po to  perform  its  merging
       tasks.

       It  firstly  finds all files with the same name and location in the from directory as in the new-template
       directory and copies these to the to directory. If there is no file in the from directory  to  match  one
       needed by the new-template directory then it will msgcat(1) all files in the from directory with the same
       name and copy them to the correct destination in the to directory. If all of that fails  then  msginit(1)
       is used to initialise any missing PO files.

       Lastly all the files in <to> are merged using msgmerge(1) or pot2po(1). This process updates the files to
       match the layout and messages in new-templates. Optionally, by using --use-compendium,  a  compendium  of
       all the translations in from can be created to be used in the final merge process.
