# kmdr2po(1)

create a PO-file from a Kommander dialog

## NAME

kmdr2po - create a PO-file from a Kommander dialog

## SYNOPSIS

**kmdr2po** *dialog*

## DESCRIPTION

**kmdr2po** creates a gettext message file (PO-file) from the given Kommander dialog (.kmdr) file.  It does this by using [**extractkmdr**(1)](/extractkmdr/1.md) to extract all text tags and other message strings, and then running [**xgettext**(1)](/xgettext/1.md) to create the corresponding PO-file.

The final PO-file will be created in the current directory.  Its name will be derived from the dialog filename by replacing the suffix *.kmdr* with *.po*.

This utility is part of the KDE web development module.

## WARNING

A temporary file named *\_from\_rc.cc* in the current directory will be created and subsequently removed.
