pytqlupdate(1)

NAME
pytqlupdate - update TQt Linguist translation files from Python sources

SYNOPSIS
pytqlupdate [ options ] project-file...

DESCRIPTION
This page documents the TQt Linguist Update tool for the TQt GUI toolkit, for Python source files. PyTQLupdate reads a tqmake project file (.pro file), finds the translatable strings in the specified source, header and interface files, and updates the translation files (.ts files) specified in it. The translation files are given to the translator who uses TQt Linguist to read the files and insert the translations.

The .ts file format is a simple human-readable XML format that can be used with version control systems if required.

OPTIONS

-help
    Display the usage and exit.

-noobsolete
    Drop all obsolete strings.

-verbose
    Explain what is being done.

-version
    Display the version of pylupdate and exit.

USAGE
Here is an example .pro file that can be given to pylupdate:

SOURCES         = funnydialog.py \
                  main.py \
                  wackywidget.py
FORMS           = fancybox.ui
TRANSLATIONS    = gnomovision_dk.ts \
                  gnomovision_fi.ts \
                  gnomovision_no.ts \
                  gnomovision_se.ts

When running pytqlupdate on this project file, the translatable strings in all the files listed in the SOURCES and FORMS entries will be put in the translation files listed in the TRANSLATIONS entry. Previous translations will be reused as far as possible, and translated strings that have vanished from the source files are marked obsolete.
