5 Making the PO Template File
After preparing the sources, the programmer creates a PO template file. This section explains how to use xgettext
for this purpose.
xgettext
creates a file named domainname.po
. You should then rename it to domainname.pot
. (Why doesn’t xgettext
create it under the name domainname.pot
right away? The answer is: for historical reasons. When xgettext
was specified, the distinction between a PO file and PO file template was fuzzy, and the suffix ‘.pot
’ wasn’t in use at that time.)
