`translate.tools.phppo2pypo.``convertphp2py`(inputfile, outputfile, template=None)

  Converts from PHP .po format to Python .po format

  Parameters:

  Converts PHP .po files to Python .po files.

## poclean

Produces a clean file from an unclean file (Trados/Wordfast) by stripping out the tw4win indicators.

This does not convert an RTF file to PO/XLIFF, but produces the target file with only the target text in from a text version of the RTF.

`translate.tools.poclean.``cleanfile`(thefile)

  cleans the given file

`translate.tools.poclean.``cleanunit`(unit)

  cleans the targets in the given unit

`translate.tools.poclean.``runclean`(inputfile, outputfile, templatefile)

  reads in inputfile, cleans, writes to outputfile

## pocompile

Compile XLIFF and Gettext PO localization files into Gettext MO (Machine Object) files.

See: http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/translate-toolkit/en/latest/commands/pocompile.html for examples and usage instructions.

`translate.tools.pocompile.``convertmo`(inputfile, outputfile, templatefile, includefuzzy=False)

  reads in a base class derived inputfile, converts using pocompile, writes to outputfile

## poconflicts

Conflict finder for Gettext PO localization files.
