Actions that are needed on units

• Template actions:

  • Adjust source of a unit in target

• Target translation actions:

  • Copy translations from source unit to target unit
    • Copy only if blank
    • Copy only if source unit is newer than target unit

Commands

--target-language can be set with one --language parameter only. It will perform all actions on TP-SOURCE->TP-TARGET.

clone

pootle project clone foo --target-project=baz [--language=…]*

pootle project clone foo --language=pt --target-project=baz --target-language=pt-BR

pootle project move foo --target-project=baz [--language=…]*

pootle project move foo --language=pt --target-project=baz --target-language=pt-BR

update

pootle project update foo --target-project=baz [--translations][--overwrite][--language=…]*

pootle project update foo --target-project=baz --language=pt --target-language=pt-BR [--translations][--overwrite]

Runs standard update process baz project from foo project. If no --overwrite provided then resolve_conflict param is POOTLE_WINS (which means that target project baz wins). Otherwise foo project wins. If --translations is set it updates translations only. No new units can be added. No existing units can be marked as obsolete.

remove

pootle project remove foo [--force] [--language=…]*

--force can be used for the whole project only and removes project directory from PO_DIRECTORY
