NAME

       dh_translations - perform common translation related operations

SYNOPSIS

       dh_translations [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_translations is a debhelper program to perform common translation related operations
       during package build:

       •   Try to build a current PO template. Only the main gettext domain of the project is
           dealt with; dh_translations does not build help-* templates or other additional
           translation templates.

       •   Remove inline translations from *.desktop, *.server, *.schemas, and *.policy files and
           replace them with a link to the gettext domain, so that strings in them will get
           translated at runtime from *.mo files.  This allows language packs to ship updated
           translations.

OPTIONS

       --domain=domain
           The gettext domain can be passed through this option. This is useful for packages with
           the Meson build system to tell dh_translations which domain to use if there are
           multiple candidates. It's also useful for other packages if dh_translations fails to
           find the correct domain by itself.
