A Grunt task for updating existing translation files
This post by Stephen Harris on the use of Grunt for Internationalisation tasks in WordPress is a lot of help. For the project I am currently working on I can gainfully use the plugins grunt-pot and grunt-po2mo .
Albeit for my purposes another task is lacking: the update of existing translation files
(.po files) when the template file changes. gettext
has a tool for that called msgmerge
.
A corresponding grunt task for it could look like this: msgmerge.js
