6.1 Invoking the ‘msginit’ Program
==================================
msginit [OPTION]
The ‘msginit’ program creates a new PO file, initializing the meta
information with values from the user’s environment.
Here are more details. The following header fields of a PO file are
automatically filled, when possible.
‘Project-Id-Version’
The value is guessed from the ‘configure’ script or any other files
in the current directory.
‘PO-Revision-Date’
The value is taken from the ‘PO-Creation-Data’ in the input POT
file, or the current date is used.
‘Last-Translator’
The value is taken from user’s password file entry and the mailer
configuration files.
‘Language-Team, Language’
These values are set according to the current locale and the
predefined list of translation teams.
‘MIME-Version, Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding’
These values are set according to the content of the POT file and
the current locale. If the POT file contains charset=UTF-8, it
means that the POT file contains non-ASCII characters, and we keep
the UTF-8 encoding. Otherwise, when the POT file is plain ASCII,
we use the locale’s encoding.
‘Plural-Forms’
The value is first looked up from the embedded table.
As an experimental feature, you can instruct ‘msginit’ to use the
information from Unicode CLDR, by setting the ‘GETTEXTCLDRDIR’
environment variable.
6.1.1 Input file location
-------------------------
‘-i INPUTFILE’
‘--input=INPUTFILE’
Input POT file.
If no INPUTFILE is given, the current directory is searched for the
POT file. If it is ‘-’, standard input is read.
6.1.2 Output file location
--------------------------
‘-o FILE’
‘--output-file=FILE’
Write output to specified PO file.
If no output file is given, it depends on the ‘--locale’ option or
the user’s locale setting. If it is ‘-’, the results are written to
standard output.
6.1.3 Input file syntax
-----------------------
‘-P’
‘--properties-input’
Assume the input file is a Java ResourceBundle in Java
‘.properties’ syntax, not in PO file syntax.
‘--stringtable-input’
Assume the input file is a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file
in ‘.strings’ syntax, not in PO file syntax.
6.1.4 Output details
--------------------
‘-l LL_CC’
‘--locale=LL_CC’
Set target locale. LL should be a language code, and CC should be
a country code. The command ‘locale -a’ can be used to output a
list of all installed locales. The default is the user’s locale
setting.
‘--no-translator’
Declares that the PO file will not have a human translator and is
instead automatically generated.
‘--color’
‘--color=WHEN’
Specify whether or when to use colors and other text attributes.
See *note The --color option:: for details.
‘--style=STYLE_FILE’
Specify the CSS style rule file to use for ‘--color’. See *note
The --style option:: for details.
‘-p’
‘--properties-output’
Write out a Java ResourceBundle in Java ‘.properties’ syntax. Note
that this file format doesn’t support plural forms and silently
drops obsolete messages.
‘--stringtable-output’
Write out a NeXTstep/GNUstep localized resource file in ‘.strings’
syntax. Note that this file format doesn’t support plural forms.
‘-w NUMBER’
‘--width=NUMBER’
Set the output page width. Long strings in the output files will
be split across multiple lines in order to ensure that each line’s
width (= number of screen columns) is less or equal to the given
NUMBER.
‘--no-wrap’
Do not break long message lines. Message lines whose width exceeds
the output page width will not be split into several lines. Only
file reference lines which are wider than the output page width
will be split.
6.1.5 Informative output
------------------------
‘-h’
‘--help’
Display this help and exit.
‘-V’
‘--version’
Output version information and exit.
