How to use those funny gettext tools

Extract POT file from source code

$ xgettext -o data/gettext/po/patI18n.pot a01.php

Update German (de) translation.

$ msgmerge -U data/gettext/po/patI18n/de.po data/gettext/po/patI18n.pot

Edit the "de.po" file - in other words, translate untranlated or fuzzy string. To do so, use either you favourite text- or special catalog-editor, like PO Edit or Kbabel.

Validate message catalog (PO file)

$ msgfmt --statistics --check  data/gettext/po/patI18n/de.po -o /tmp/rubish.mo

Create binary catalog (MO file) from message catalog (PO file)

$ msgfmt --statistics --check data/gettext/po/patI18n/de.po -o data/gettext/mo/de/LC_MESSAGES/patI18n.mo
