NAME
       itstool - convert between XML and PO using ITS

SYNOPSIS
       itstool [OPTIONS] [XMLFILES]
       itstool -m <MOFILE> [OPTIONS] [XMLFILES]

DESCRIPTION
       itstool extracts messages from XML files and outputs PO template files,
       then merges translations from MO files to create translated XML	files.
       It determines what to translate and how to chunk it into messages using
       the W3C Internationalization Tag Set (ITS).

       To extract messages from XML files FILES and output them to OUT.pot:

       itstool -o OUT.pot FILES

       After merging with existing translations or translating strings, gener‐
       ate  an	MO  file  with	msgfmt(1), then output translated files to the
       directory DIR:

       itstool -m OUT.mo -o DIR FILES

       ITS definitions are loaded from the built-in rules, rules  embedded  in
       the  source  XML	 files,	 files	passed	with  the  -i  option, and ITS
       attributes in the source XML files. Later definitions take precedence.

OPTIONS
   Extracting
       -o FILE
       --out=FILE
	   output PO template to the file OUT

   Merging
       -m FILE
       --merge=FILE
	   merge from an MO file FILE and output XML files

       -l LANG
       --lang=LANG
	   explicitly set the language code output to XML

       -o FILE
       --out=FILE
	   output XML files in the directory OUT

       --its=ITS
