.. _poreencode:
poreencode
**********
Takes a directory of existing PO files and converts them to a given encoding.
.. _poreencode#prerequisites:
Prerequisites
=============
GNU Gettext
.. _poreencode#usage:
Usage
=====
::
poreencode <encoding> <PO directory>
Where:
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| encoding | is the encoding you would like to convert to e.g. UTF-8 |
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| PO directory | is a directory of existing PO files |
+--------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
It is best to backup files before the conversion or to perform it against CVS
which prevents a potential loss of data.
.. _poreencode#operation:
Operation
=========
poreencode makes use of the Gettext tool :man:`msgconv` to perform its task.
It traverses the PO directory and finds all PO file. It uses msgconv to
convert the PO file from its existing encoding to the new encoding.
.. _poreencode#bugs:
Bugs
====
Like most Gettext tools they do a little bit more than documented, msgconv will
decide which strings are in fact fuzzy and delete fuzzy marking -- not a lot
but you do need to diff (this probably related to #, fuzzy entries that are not
placed in the place Gettext expects them).
