Resolution: None


Initial Comment:
Currently, the only way to use po4a to only recreate translated files from originals and .po files is calling po4a-translate. However, this has the downside of not using the config file.

Since po4a already contains --no-translations option, is it possible to also include something like --only-translations?

Message:
I think that we should come up with something similar to git: a main po4a command, with subcommands as follows:

po4a -f po4a.cfg translate # same as po4a-translate, but using the config file)

Then, the config file could be made optional, automatically searched in the current tree.

Hello Jakub,

Colin Watson made a similar request

As a translator, I have several times found that the PO file which was provided to me had not been updated with respect to source files, thus I am quite reluctant to implement such an option, I really like po4a's current behaviour to ensure that PO files are always up-to-date.
But if you can convince me that it is really needed, I will be glad to reconsider my position ;)
