The intltool package contains an internationalization tool. This is useful for extracting translatable strings from source files, collects the extracted strings with messages from traditional source files (<source directory>/<package>/po) and merging the translations into .xml, .desktop and .oaf files.
Install intltool by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man && make && make install |
The intltool package contains intltoolize, intltool-update, intltool-extract, intltool-merge, intltool-prepare and intltool-unicodify.
intltoolize prepares a package to use intltool.
intltool-update updates the po template files and merges them with the translations.
intltool-extract generates header files that can be read by gettext.
intltool-merge merges translated strings into various file types.
intltool-prepare updates pot files and merges them with translation files.
intltool-unicodify is the i18n unicode encoding utility.
