SYNOPSIS

       "localize -l lg_CC [-d lg_CC] [-m file|-t] file [file2 file3 ...]"

DESCRIPTION

       Helps manage Interchange pages by finding, adding, and merging localization strings.

OPTIONS

       "-c"
           Rewrite [L] sections with [LC]text[do_DO]text[/do_dO], adjust file and data --
           mutually exclusive with "-o".

       "-d lg_CC"
           Create default domain file with Locale lg_CC as prefix

       "-l lg_CC"
           Create file with Locale lg_CC as prefix. This is mandatory unless in -c mode with "-m"
           option.

       "-m file"
           Read existing information to merge from <file>. Can contain multiple locales.

       "-M"
           When in "-c" mode, prefix MM_ to make minimate_compatible; when in regular mode, strip
           MM_ from [LC] defs

       "-n"
           Don't write comments in the output.

       "-o"
           Rewrite [L] sections with [L msgNNNN], adjust file and data.  Mutually exclusive with
           "-c".

       "-t"
           Two page mode, mutually exclusive with "-m."

       "-u dir"
           Directory with (UI) menu database files, e.g.
           "/usr/lib/interchange/lib/UI/pages/includes/menus". This can be used to include the
           menu titles in the output.

       lg_CC refers to the POSIX norm of specifying two-letter language and country codes to
       refer to a locale.

       Two-page mode requires two files (one for each language) to compare and merge into one
       locale definition.

       The merge file for the "-m" option should use the Perl reference form -- see the
       Interchange documentation for more information.

       If [L msg_key]default text[/L] keys are found, will produce a comment with the default
       text for reference.

       A backup file (filename.html.bak) is saved if "-o" is used, but only one level. Subsequent
       .bak files will be overwritten.
