xgettext

Extract gettext strings from code files. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/xgettext-Invocation.html.
  • Scan file and output strings to messages.po:
    xgettext {{path/to/input_file}}
  • Use a different output filename:
    xgettext --output {{path/to/output_file}} {{path/to/input_file}}
  • Append new strings to an existing file:
    xgettext --join-existing --output {{path/to/output_file}} {{path/to/input_file}}
  • Don't add a header containing metadata to the output file:
    xgettext --omit-header {{path/to/input_file}}
