Synopsis

    gettextize [options] [directory]

Install GNU gettext infrastructure into a source package. This command copies files and directories into a source package so that a program can use GNU gettext for managing translations. The files are placed in directory if given, otherwise in the current directory. If the package already uses gettext, the infrastructure is upgraded to the current version.

Full documentation for GNU gettext is available in its manual. See http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ for more information and a pointer to the documentation.

Options

-c, --copy

-f, --force

--intl

Create and install the libintl subdirectory, which holds a private copy of the gettext library.

-n, --dry-run

Print the changes that would be made, but don’t actually do them.

--no-changelog

Do not create or update ChangeLog files.
