elm-xgettext

A tool similar to GNU xgettext that parses Elm source files to get the translatable strings and generate a PO template file. This PO template file can then be used by tools like POEdit to create the PO files for each language to translate your application into. It also includes a tool similar to GNU msgfmt that converts PO files into MO files.

This tool only works for translations specified by the panthus/elm-gettext library.

Usage

Install with:

npm i --save-dev elm-xgettext

Create a POT file like this:

npx elm-xgettext src/**/*.elm -o locale/FE.pot

Convert PO files to MO files, it puts each MO file next to its original PO file:

npx elm-xgettext locale/**/*.po
