Merge translation files (.ts) with existing .ts files using QT Utilities (lconvert)

Question

Here\'s my problem: We\'ve got .ts files for nine different languages for our product. We\'ve added about 100 new strings that need to be translated, but some are for our next

Answer 1

The answer doesn't use lupdate, it lies in another utility called lconvert. It's quite easy to create a secondary file that only contains the strings you're interested in (and delete those same strings from the primary file), then run:

lconvert -i primary.ts secondary.ts -o complete.ts

This will take all the strings from the two input files and put them together into the output file. Using this method I was able to create a zero difference file (other than time stamp) of the original file that I'd split the two primary & secondary files from.

This question didn't get a lot of attention, but maybe someone will have this same problem and this will help.
