How to convert GNU Gettext .po files to Qt's .ts files?

Question

Is there a tool to convert the translations in GNU Gettext .po format into Qt's native .ts format?

Answer 1

You could use po2ts which is meant for exactly this task. It is part of the Translate Toolkit which you can download for your appropriate platform.

Answer 2

Today I found that it could be done using the lconvert tool that comes with the Qt distribution and had already been present on my system.

So I simply did

lconvert -locations relative <file>.po -o <file>.ts

It also supports the backward conversion:

lconvert <file>.ts -o <file>.po
