NAME

       poreencode  -  Reencode  all  files  of a PO directory to the specified
       encoding.

SYNOPSIS

       poreencode encoding PO-directory

       Where encoding is the encoding you would like to convert to eg.  UTF-8,
       and PO-directory is a directory of existing PO files.

DESCRIPTION

       Takes  a  directory  of  existing PO files and converts them to a given
       encoding.

OPERATION

       poreencode makes use of the Gettext  tool  msgconv(1)  to  perform  its
       task.  It  traverses  the  PO  directory and finds all PO file. It uses
       msgconv(1) to convert the PO file from its existing encoding to the new
       encoding.

BUGS

       Like  most  Gettext  tools  they  do a little bit more than documented,
       msgconv(1) will decide which strings are in fact fuzzy and delete fuzzy
       marking  -  not a lot but you do need to diff (this probably related to
       #, fuzzy entries that are not  placed  in  the  place  Gettext  expects
       them).
