You can then use the PO file to check for mistakes in many available tools that knows PO.

Running PO converter in a terminal.

With the PO file you can check the translation in tools like Virtaal.

Can be found on [phpbb.com](https://www.phpbb.com/languages/] (also phpbb.com) If you run the all.sh script it will download the language packs for you so you dont have to do it manually

Run "./po.sh -h" for usage.

Usage: ./po.sh [-a <first folder> -b <second folder>] [-c]
Extracts strings from two phpBB language packs
and combines the strings in a PO file.

-a <folder>    Content of unpacked language pack zip file
               (usually the source language which is british_english_[VERSION]
-b <folder>    Content of unpacked language pack zip file
               (usually the translation you work on e.g. danish_[VERSION]
               Source and translation should be the same version
-c             Delete the temporary files and folder
               (temp/, zip/, zipextracted/, po/)
-v             Version information

Example:

./po.sh -a british_english_3_2_2 -b danish_3_2_2

Example:

./all.sh

See what warning/error messages we can get. This we can use to improve the code or the language packs so it will hopefully give zero warnings/errors in the future versions

gettext
PyG3T
Toolkit
GUI tools:
Virtaal
Poedit
Qt Linguist

If you get "command not found" or "Permission denied" you might need to run these commands before you can execute the files

sudo chmod +x po.sh all.sh checkpo.sh

Question: Can i convert the PO file back to the PHP files? Answer: Nope.

php curl gettext ...(i will add more here when i find out what is needed to run the shell scripts)
