Merge translations and generate catalog ¶

Usage:

gotext update <package>* [-out <gofile>]

Extracts strings to be translated from code ¶

Usage:

gotext extract <package>*

Rewrites fmt functions to use a message Printer ¶

Usage:

gotext rewrite <package>

rewrite is typically done once for a project. It rewrites all usages of fmt to use x/text's message package whenever a message.Printer is in scope. It rewrites Print and Println calls with constant strings to the equivalent using Printf to allow translators to reorder arguments.

Generates code to insert translated messages ¶

Usage:

gotext generate <package> [-out <gofile>]
