Pology is a Python library and collection of command-line tools for in-depth processing of PO files, the translation file format of the GNU Gettext software translation system. Pology functionality ranges from precision operations on individual PO messages, to cross-file operations on large collections of PO files. A distinguishing aspect of Pology is that no attempt is made to handle arbitrary translation file formats, as is typical of many translation tools. Pology can thus take advantage not only of all technical aspects of the PO format, but also of the established conventions and workflows revolving around it and Gettext in general. This focus is present on all levels, from the end-user commands to the library file format abstractions. The code is available from svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/l10n-support/pology A document describing how to use pology to automatically translate po files based on another language using apertium is available from <URL: http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Translating_gettext >. For example this command can be used to create Norwegian Bokmål translations from Swedish: pomtrans -s sv -t nb -p _nb.:_sv. -M swe-nob apertium client_nb.po More information about Pology can be found from <URL: https://techbase.kde.org/Localization/Tools/Pology#About >. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
