l10n and PO file helper tools
Project description
dennis is a command line tool for translating and linting .po files.
It includes the following subcommands:
translate: Translates strings in .po files into something else! Comes with an HTML extractor (tokenizes strings so that only the text is translated) and a bunch of translations like Pirate!. This is helpful for l10n testing, development, finding unicode/layout problems, amazing your friends, hilarious April 1st shenanigans, etc.
The system allows for other translators and extractors using a loosely coupled pipeline.
This also works on strings passed in as command line arguments and as stdin—it doesn’t have to be a .po file or in a .po format.
lint: Lints .po files for problems.
The system allows for defining other variable formats.
Quick start
Install:
$ pip install dennis $ pip install blessings # Optional for prettier output
Lint a .po file for problems:
$ dennis-cmd lint locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po
Lint all your .po files for errors:
$ dennis-cmd lint --errorsonly locale/
Translate a .po file in place into Pirate!:
$ dennis-cmd translate --pipeline=html,pirate \ locale/xx/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po
Get help:
$ dennis-cmd
