How to convert .po to .mo files via CentOS command line?

Question

I have .po and .mo files in my CentOS server. After I use vi to edit the .po file, is there a way that I can convert it to .mo through the command line?

P.S. please consider CentOS, thanks.

Answer 1

In deb based distros: apt-get install gettext

I assume there's something similar in centos.

Then can use:

msgfmt messages.po -o messages.mo
