This is a rudimentary tool to produce a clean file from an unclean file (Trados/Wordfast) by stripping out the tw4win indicators.
poclean <input> <output>
Where:
<input> | is the text versions of the unclean RTF files |
<output> | is the intended output file / directory |
Options:
--version | show program’s version number and exit |
-h, --help | show this help message and exit |
--manpage | output a manpage based on the help |
--progress=PROGRESS | |
show progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose | |
--errorlevel=ERRORLEVEL | |
show errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback | |
-iINPUT, --input=INPUT | |
read from INPUT in pot format | |
-xEXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE | |
exclude names matching EXCLUDE from input paths | |
-oOUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT | |
write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats | |
-tTEMPLATE, --template=TEMPLATE | |
read from TEMPLATE in po, pot formats |
To create a text version of the unclean RTF file, you need UnRTF, available here: project site or here (windows).
unrtf translation.rtf --text > translation.po
You might need to convert the encoding of the file, with iconv, for example:
iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 translation.po > new_translation.po
Now you can clean the file with poclean
poclean new_translation.po clean_translation.po
