Converts .json files to Gettext PO format.
json2po [options] <json> <po> po2json [options] -t <json> <po> <json>
Where:
<json> | is a valid .json file or directory of those files |
<po> | is a directory of PO or POT files |
Options (json2po):
--version | show program's version number and exit |
-h, --help | show this help message and exit |
--manpage | output a manpage based on the help |
--progress=PROGRESS | show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose |
--errorlevel=ERRORLEVEL | show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback |
-i INPUT, --input=INPUT | read from INPUT in php format |
-x EXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE | exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths |
-o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT | write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats |
-t TEMPLATE, --template=TEMPLATE | read from TEMPLATE in php format |
--psyco=MODE | use psyco to speed up the operation, modes: none, full, profile |
-P, --pot | output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po) |
--filter=FILTER | leaves to extract e.g. 'name,desc': (default: extract everything) |
--duplicates=DUPLICATESTYLE | what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt, (default: 'msgctxt') |
Options (po2json):
--version | show program's version number and exit |
-h, --help | show this help message and exit |
--manpage | output a manpage based on the help |
--progress=PROGRESS | show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose |
--errorlevel=ERRORLEVEL | show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback |
-i INPUT, --input=INPUT | read from INPUT in po, pot formats |
-x EXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE | exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths |
-o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT | write to OUTPUT in php format |
-t TEMPLATE, --template=TEMPLATE | read from TEMPLATE in php format |
--psyco=MODE | use psyco to speed up the operation, modes: none, full, profile |
--fuzzy | use translations marked fuzzy |
--nofuzzy | don't use translations marked fuzzy (default) |
This example looks at roundtrip of .json translations as well as recovery of existing translations.
First we need to create a set of POT files.
json2po -P json/ pot/
All .json files found in the json/
directory are converted to Gettext POT files and placed in the pot/
directory.
If you are translating for the first time then you can skip the next step. If you need to recover your existing translations then we do the following:
json2po -t lang/ zu/ po-zu/
Using the English .json files found in lang/
and your existing Zulu translation in zu/
we create a set of PO files in po-zu/
. These will now have your translations. Please be aware that in order for the to work 100% you need to have both English and Zulu at the same revision. If they are not, you will have to review all translations.
You are now in a position to translate your recovered translations or your new POT files.
Once translated you can convert back as follows:
po2json -t lang/ po-zu/ zu/
Your translations found in the Zulu PO directory, po-zu/
, will be converted to .json using the files in lang/
as templates and placing your newly translated .json files in zu/
.
To update your translations simply redo the POT creation step and make use of pot2po to bring your translation up-to-date.
