wxl2po¶
Converts WiX Localization (.wxl) files to Gettext PO format.
Usage¶
wxl2po [options] <wxl> <po>
po2wxl [options] <po> <wxl> [-t <base-wxl>]
Where:
<wxl> |
is a valid .wxl file or directory of those files |
<po> |
is a directory of PO or POT files |
<base-wxl> |
is a template or the original file before translation. Required for roundtrips to preserve non-translatable data. |
Options (wxl2po):
- --version
show program's version number and exit
- -h, --help
show this help message and exit
- --manpage

- --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 wxl format
- -x EXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE
exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths
- -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT
write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats
- -S, --timestamp
skip conversion if the output file has newer timestamp

Check the WXL format document for details of what is supported.
Examples¶
This example shows a roundtrip of WXL translations.
First create a set of POT files:
wxl2po -P lang/en pot/
All .wxl files found in lang/en are converted to Gettext POT files and
placed in the pot/ directory.
To recover existing translations:
wxl2po -t lang/en lang/de po-de/
Using the English WXL files in lang/en and existing German translations in
lang/de, create PO files in po-de/ with the recovered translations.
Once translated, convert back:
po2wxl -t lang/en po-de/ lang/de
Translations from po-de/ are applied to template files in lang/en and
the result is written to lang/de.
