README

This is a really simple command line tool which generates a .pot or .po file based off language strings that it finds within the defined directory.

Currently it simply accepts 2 paths, an input - which should be a directory of templates, and an output, which is typically a .pot file.

Installation

1. composer install owenmelbz/php-to-pot

Optional

Create a composer script to save your little fingers e.g

"scripts": {
	"makepot": "./vendor/bin/php-to-pot -i ./my-template-directory -o ./translation-template.pot"
}

You can then just run composer run makepot to generate your file when needed.

Usage

The tool has only 2 params

1. -i/--in (a directory containing files you want to generate translations from)
2. -o/--out (the path/filename of the generated .pot)

e.g

./vendor/bin/php-to-pot -i ./my-templates -o translation-template.pot

Support

• Magento 2
• Wordpress
• Laravel Blade
• Anything else that uses .php extension and a list of the following translation functions

__ n__ p__ e d_ dn__ dp__ np__ dnp__ noop__ gettext ngettext pgettext dgettext dngettext dpgettext npgettext dnpgettext noop

Disclaimer

Under the hood, this just interfaces with https://github.com/oscarotero/Gettext to allow developers to generate .pot files to send to translators to create the actual .po and .mo files.
