intltool-update  generates  new po file templates from source code, and merges existing translations with
       these new po templates.

       You must change working directory to the subdirectory  containing  translations  (usually  "po/")  before
       running intltool-update.

       Creates a new PO template from source code, and name it foo.pot:

         intltool-update --pot --gettext-package=foo

       Updates  translation  file  xy.po  using  existing  po  template called "bar.pot", and writes output into
       "xy1.po":

         intltool-update --dist --gettext-package=bar --output-file=xy1.po xy

       Creates new PO template and updates translation file xy.po (xy.po is overwritten with new content):

         intltool-update xy
         (same as intltool-update--pot&&intltool-update--distxy)

po/POTFILES.in
              Contains list of source files which contain translatable strings, one file per line.

       po/POTFILES.skippo/POTFILES.ignore (obsolete)
              Contains list of source files which should be ignored when searching for translatable strings.

       intltool-update - updates PO template file and merge translations with it

       When executing intltool-update , only one mode of operation is allowed each time.

   Modeofoperation-p--pot
           Generate po template (.pot) only.

       -s--headers
           Executes intltool-extract(8) to extract strings inside XML/INI style files listed in POTFILES.in, and
           writes the extracted strings into header files, so that the strings can be recognised by xgettext(1).

       -m--maintain
           Search  for left out files, which should have been listed in POTFILES.in or POTFILES.skip.  A list of
           all these files are written into another file called "missing".

       -r--report
           Display a status report for all translations in the software.

       -dLANGCODE--distLANGCODE
           Merge LANGCODE.po with existing PO template.

   Otheroptions-gNAME--gettext-package=NAME
           Manually specify PO template file name, instead of determining the name  automatically  from  source.
           Useful  with  -p/--pot  option.  This  option  has  an additional effect: the name of current working
           directory is no more limited to "po" or "po-*".

       -oFILENAME--output-file=FILENAME
           Manually specify output FILENAME after merging old translation with PO template. Useful  either  with
           -d/--dist option or without any option.

       -x--verbose
           Display lots of feedback.

       --version
           Show version information.

       --help
           Show usage and basic help information.
