# tbx2po

Convert between TermBase eXchange (.tbx) glossary format and Gettext PO format.

## Usage

    tbx2po <tbx> <po>

Where:

<tbx> | is a TBX file
<po> | is the target PO file

Options (tbx2po):

`--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 csv format
`-x EXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE`
| exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths
`-o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT`
| write to OUTPUT in tbx format
`-S, --timestamp`
| skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp

## Examples

These examples demonstrate the use of tbx2po:

    tbx2po terms.tbx terms.po

to simply convert terms.tbx to terms.po.

To convert a directory recursively to another directory with the same structure of files:

    tbx2po tbx-dir po-target-dir

This will convert TBX files in tbx-dir to PO files placed in po-target-dir.
