Converts .Net Resource (.resx) files to Gettext PO format, a monolingual file format used in Microsoft .Net Applications.
resx2po [options] <resx> <po>
po2resx [options] <po> <resx> -t <resx>
Where:
| <resx> | is a valid .resx file or directory of those files |
| <po> | is a directory of PO or POT files |
Options (resx2po):
| --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 RESX 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 RESX format | |
| -S, --timestamp | |
| skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp | |
| -P, --pot | output PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po) |
Options (po2resx):
| --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 RESX format | |
| -t TEMPLATE, --template=TEMPLATE | |
| read from TEMPLATE in RESX format | |
| -S, --timestamp | |
| skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp | |
This example looks at roundtrip of .resx translations as well as recovery of existing translations.
First we need to create a set of POT files
resx2po -P resx/ pot/
All .resx files found in the resx/ 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
resx2po zu/ po-zu/ -t lang/
Using the English .resx 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:
po2resx po-zu/ zu/ -t lang/
Your translations found in the Zulu PO directory, po-zu/, will be converted
to .resx using the files in lang/ as templates and placing your newly
translated .resx 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.
