This package provides the GNU gettext and GNU iconv tools for Windows, which are used for internationalization and localization of software applications.
The GNU gettext tools include the following command-line utilities used for managing translation files and generating localized resources:
gettext: display native language translation of a textual message
msgattrib: filters the messages of a translation catalog according to their attributes, and manipulates the attributes
msgcat: concatenates and merges the specified PO files
msgcmp: compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same set of msgid strings
msgcomm: find messages which are common to two or more of the specified PO files
msgconv: convert a translation catalog to a different character encoding
msgen: create an English translation catalog
msgexec: apply a command to all translations of a translation catalog
msgfilter: apply a filter to all translations of a translation catalog
msgfmt: generate binary message catalog from textual translation description.
msggrep: extract all messages of a translation catalog that match a given pattern or belong to some given source files
msginit: create a new PO file, initializing the meta information with values from the user's environment
msgmerge: merge two Uniforum style .po files together
msgpre: pretranslate a translation catalog
msgunfmt: convert a binary message catalog to Uniforum style .po file
msguniq: unify duplicate translations in a translation catalog
ngettext: display native language translation of a textual message whose grammatical form depends on a number
recode-sr-latin: recode Serbian text from Cyrillic to Latin script
spit: pass standard input to a Large Language Model (LLM) instance and prints the response
xgettext: extract translatable strings from given input files
The GNU iconv tool is used for converting text between different character encodings.
The package comes with Unicode CLDR data, which is used by msginit to create translation catalogs with the plural rules defined in CLDR (this requires setting the GETTEXTCLDRDIR environment variable to the path of the CLDR data).
