NAME

make_strings - tool to build lists of localizable strings from Objective-C files

SYNOPSIS

make_strings[--help][--verbose][--aggresive-import][--aggressive-match][--aggressive-remove][-Llanguages]files.[hmc...]

DESCRIPTION

make_stringsparses Objective-C files and builds lists of localizable strings. Itthen creates new.stringsfiles or merges the strings with existing.stringsfiles. It's fairly intelligent when matching old and new strings, andproduces.stringsfiles that are (supposed to be) easy for a translator to work with.

make_stringsaccepts the following options:

OPTIONS

--help: Prints a short list of available options.
--verbose: Prints additional information while processing.
-L languages: Specify which languages to process. Multuple-Loptions are accepted, or multiplelanguagesdefined in one-Lflag.
--aggressive-import: Activates--aggresive-matchand automatically removes "dummy" entries that are added by importing.stringsfiles which were not created bymake_stringsprogram. This option is suitable whenmake_stringsis run for the first time and there is an existing.stringsfile which contains a fairly accurate translation.
--aggressive-match: This option will makemake_stringsassume that matching keys should have matching translations. This cansave lots of work, but it increases the risk of erroneous translation.
--aggressive-remove: Removes obsolete strings/keys.

EXAMPLES

make_strings -L "English Swedish Russian" *.[hm]
