podebug

Marks PO messages so that it is easy to reference and locate strings when your
translated application is running.

Use it to:
- Target your translations: see what files are being referenced for string
  appearing in your programs.
- Debug translations: if you know in what file the message occurs then you can
  quickly find it and fix it.

Usage

	podebug [-f format] /in/ /out/

Where:
 -f is an optional format strings.  The default format is "[%s]"
 /in/ is an input directory or PO file
 /out/ is an output directory or PO files, if missing output will be to
	standard out.

Formats

A format string can have these various options:

f - full filename including directory
F - as %f but with .po file extension
b - base of filename
B - base of filename with .po file extension
d - directory name
s - preset OpenOffice.org modifier

c - use only consonants

N - a set number of characters

A format string may look like this:

"%cf" - the fullname without vowels
"[%10cb] " - the first ten character after compressing the base of the filename
and place it in square brackets with a space before the real message
"[%5cd - %cB] "
