Translate Toolkit project is a set of tools designed to assist translators and localizes, with a specific focus on the Gettext PO and XLIFF formats.
This makes it possible to stay in one format across all your localisation, thus allowing you to master one translation editor instead of one per project. Of course an added benefit is that now you cannot create broken OpenOffice.org or Mozilla translation files. And of course their are many other [benefits].
The toolkit also includes tools to help check, validate, merge and extract from your localizations.
The toolkit forms part of the WordForge project, which is building standards based localisation tools for Free and Open Source Software.
Here are some key features of "Translate Toolkit":
Converters
Converters change many different formats to PO and back again. (Sometimes only one direction is supported, or conversion is done without PO files.)
� oo2po - OpenOffice.org SDF converter
� moz2po - Mozilla .properties and .dtd converter. Works with Firefox and Thunderbird
� csv2po - Comma Seperated Value (CSV) converter. Useful for doing translations using a spreadsheet.
� ts2po - Qt .ts converter
� txt2po - Plain text to PO converter
� html2po - HTML converter
� xliff2po - XLIFF (XML Localisation Interchange File Format) converter
� po2tmx - TMX (Translation Memory Exchange) convertor
� pot2po - initialise PO Template files for translation
� csv2tbx - Create TBX (TermBase eXchange) files from Comma Seperated Value (CSV) files
� tiki2po - convert TikiWiki translation files to po
Tools
The PO tools allow you to manipulate and work with PO files
� pocompile - create an MO (Machine Object) file from a PO file
� poconflict - extract messages that have conflicting translation
� pocount - Count words and string in PO files
� podebug - Add debug strings to messages
� pofilter - filter PO files to find common errors using a number of tests
� pogrep - find strings in your PO files
� pomerge - merge file extracted using pofilter back into the original files
� porestructure - restructures po files according to poconflict directives
� lookupserver - a server that can be queried with XML-RPC to lookup strings in a storage format
Scripts
The scripts are for working with and manipulating PO files. Unlike the tools which are written in Python, the scripts are written in bash. They are not installed on your system as part of the toolkit but need to be downloaded from CVS and manually installed.
� mozcvs2pot - Convert files in Mozilla CVS layout to Mozilla's l10n layout
� phase - Helps manage a project divided into phases of work, including sending, checking, etc
� pocompendium - Creates various types of PO compendium
� poen - Initialises POT files to English translations
� pomigrate2 - Migrate older PO files to new POT files
� popuretext - Extracts all the source text from a directory of POT files
� posplit - Split a PO file into translate, untranslated and fuzzy files
� poreencode - Converts PO files to a new character encoding
