The current way I create translation catalogs and manage translations is:

  1. generate headers from all non source code file types (glade, .desktop, ...) via intltool
  2. use xgettext to gather all strings from all *.[ch] files and generata a .pot
  3. do msgmerge for existing .po files

Is there a tool that can handle all 3 tasks without having to generate intermediate files?

Note: I've been looking for that kind of tool for a long time but never really found one, so I apologize if the answer is trivial.

  • maybe the solution you are looking for does not yet exist. I'd love to see some good solutions for this particular problem! – Andreas Grapentin Feb 26 '13 at 19:45
  • AFAIK, `autotools` integration of `gettext` does it more or less automatically. – rodrigo Feb 26 '13 at 21:26
  • @rodrigo I am not going to switch a complete, convenient and nicely working build environment because of inconvenient translations. Also autotools would introduce itself a gigaton of intermediate files - no thanks. – drahnr Feb 26 '13 at 21:41
