This command is used to update PO (Portable Object) files from a master text file.

Here is an explanation of the individual components of the command:

  • po4a-updatepo: This is the executable command for updating PO files.
  • --format ${text}: This flag specifies the format of the input text file. In this case, the text file is in a plain text format.
  • --master ${path-to-master-txt}: This flag indicates the path to the master text file. The master text file contains the original source content that needs to be translated.
  • --po ${path-to-po1-po}: This flag specifies the path to the first output PO file. PO files are used to store translations. Multiple --po flags can be used to update multiple PO files simultaneously.
  • --po ${path-to-po2-po}: This flag specifies the path to the second output PO file.

By executing this command, the po4a-updatepo tool will update the specified PO files with new translations extracted from the master text file. The updated PO files will then contain the latest translations for the specified content.
