INTLTOOL-UPDATE(8)	     System Manager's Manual	      INTLTOOL-UPDATE(8)

NAME
     intltool-update - updates PO template file and merge translations with it

SYNOPSIS
     intltool-update [option]...
     intltool-update LANGCODE

DESCRIPTION
     intltool-update  generates  new  po  file	templates  from source code, and
     merges existing translations with these new po templates.

     You must change working directory to the subdirectory  containing	transla-
     tions (usually "po/") before running intltool-update.

OPTIONS
     When executing intltool-update , only one mode of operation is allowed each
     time.

   Mode of operation
     -p
     --pot
	 Generate po template (.pot) only.

     -s
     --headers
	 Executes  intltool-extract(8)	to  extract strings inside XML/INI style
	 files listed in POTFILES.in, and  writes  the	extracted  strings  into
	 header files, so that the strings can be recognised by xgettext(1).

     -m
     --maintain
	 Search for left out files, which should have been listed in POTFILES.in
	 or  POTFILES.skip.   A list of all these files are written into another
	 file called "missing".

     -r
     --report
	 Display a status report for all translations in the software.

     -d LANGCODE
     --dist LANGCODE
	 Merge LANGCODE.po with existing PO template.

   Other options
     -g NAME
     --gettext-package=NAME
	 Manually specify PO template file name, instead of determining the name
	 automatically from source. Useful with -p/--pot option. This option has
	 an additional effect: the name of current working directory is no  more
	 limited to "po" or "po-*".

     -o FILENAME
     --output-file=FILENAME
	 Manually  specify output FILENAME after merging old translation with PO
	 template. Useful either with -d/--dist option or without any option.

     -x
     --verbose
	 Display lots of feedback.

     --version
	 Show version information.

     --help
	 Show usage and basic help information.

EXAMPLES
     Creates a new PO template from source code, and name it foo.pot:

       intltool-update --pot --gettext-package=foo

     Updates translation file xy.po using existing po template called "bar.pot",
     and writes output into "xy1.po":

       intltool-update --dist --gettext-package=bar --output-file=xy1.po xy

     Creates new PO template and updates translation file xy.po (xy.po is  over-
     written with new content):

       intltool-update xy
       (same as intltool-update --pot && intltool-update --dist xy)

FILES
     po/POTFILES.in
	    Contains  list  of	source files which contain translatable strings,
	    one file per line.

     po/POTFILES.skip
     po/POTFILES.ignore (obsolete)
	    Contains list of source files which should be ignored when searching
	    for translatable strings.
