A simple CLI tool for managing localization of DayZ stringtables.csv
and Gettext formats.
This utility helps you:
- Generate a POT template from your base CSV of original strings.
- Create PO files (per language) from CSV, with empty translations.
- Merge PO files back into a full CSV of translations.
- Update existing PO files when you add new strings to CSV.
Under the hood it uses gettext .pot and .po formats.
.pot: template with allmsgid(original texts) andmsgctxt(keys), emptymsgstr..po: one.poper language, wheremsgstrholds actual translations.
- Get your source strings in CSV.
pot→ generate.pottemplate.pos→ create new.pofiles with blank translations.- Edit
.pofiles using Poedit, Crowdin, LLM-assisted scripts, or manually. make→ export translations back into CSV.- When new strings appear:
update→ merge into existing.po.
Using Git, translators can work on just their own .po files in separate
branches/PRs, avoiding noise in other locales.
