# extractkmdr(1)

extract message strings from Kommander dialogs

## NAME

extractkmdr - extract message strings from Kommander dialogs

## SYNOPSIS

**extractkmdr** \[ **--tag=***name* ... \] \[ **--context=***name* \] *file* ...

## DESCRIPTION

**extractkmdr** finds all text tags and other message strings within the given Kommander dialog (.kmdr) files.  It then writes the corresponding *i18n()* calls to standard output (usually redirected to rc.cpp) so that xgettext can parse them.

To create a complete gettext message file (PO-file) from a Kommander dialog, the [**kmdr2po**(1)](/kmdr2po/1.md) utility is more convenient.

This utility is part of the KDE web development module.

## OPTIONS

- **--tag=***name*

  Extract also the contents of the tag *name*. This option may be used multiple times (e.g., --tag=tag\_one --tag=tag\_two).

- **--context=***name*

  Give all i18n() calls the given context: i18n("*name*", ...).
