.SH NAME
ttqm2ts \- generate Qt Linguist translation files from Qt 2.x message files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ttqm2ts
.RI "[ " options " ] " qm-files
.SH DESCRIPTION
This page documents the
.B Qt Linguist Qm2ts
tool for the Qt GUI toolkit.
.B Qm2ts
converts Qt 2.x message files (.qm files) into source message files
(.ts files).
.PP
The .ts file format is a simple human-readable XML format that can be
used with version control systems if required. It is understood by
.B lupdate,
.B lrelease
and
.B Qt Linguist.
.PP
.B ttqm2ts
is provided to ease porting from the old internationalization
tools
.B (tqttqtfindtr,
.B tqttqtmergetr
and
.B msg2tqm)
to the new ones. It will not accept Qt message files generated by
.B lrelease,
as
.B lrelease
compresses .qm files by stripping unnecessary information for lookup.
