tsmarty2c.php - A command line utility that rips gettext strings from smarty source files and converts them to .pot (PO-Template).
This utility will scan templates for {t}...{/t} placeholders for translation strings
and output a .pot file (.po template).
Usage:
./vendor/bin/tsmarty2c.php -o template.pot <filename or directory> <file2> <...>
If a parameter is a directory, the template files within will be parsed, recursively.
In output special PO tags are added that inform about location of extracted translation. Most of the PO edit tools can respect that information.
If you wish to scan also .php or .phtml files for native gettext calls, you may wish to combine result of tsmarty2c and xgettext calls:
./vendor/bin/tsmarty2c.php -o smarty.pot ...
xgettext --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: --keyword=gettext --keyword=_ --output=code.pot ...
msgcat -o template.pot code.pot smarty.pot
rm -f code.pot smarty.pot
By default tsmarty2c scans for .tpl files, if you wish to use other files, you can use xargs in unix:
find templates -name '*.tpl.html' -o -name '*.tpl.text' -o -name '*.tpl.js' -o -name '*.tpl.xml' | xargs tsmarty2c.php -o smarty.pot
See how it's done in Eventum project.
