  • Scan file and output strings to `messages.po`:
    xgettext path/to/input_file
  • Use a different output filename:
    xgettext --output path/to/output_file path/to/input_file
  • Append new strings to an existing file:
    xgettext --join-existing --output path/to/output_file path/to/input_file
  • Don't add a header containing metadata to the output file:
    xgettext --omit-header path/to/input_file
