SYNOPSIS

12       match] [--aggressive-remove] [-L languages] files.[hmc...]

DESCRIPTION

16       make_strings  parses  Objective-C files and builds lists of localizable
17       strings.  It then creates new .strings files or merges the strings with
18       existing .strings files.  It's fairly intelligent when matching old and
19       new strings, and produces .strings files that are (supposed to be) easy
20       for a translator to work with.
21
22       make_strings accepts the following options:

24

OPTIONS

26       --help Prints a short list of available options.
27
28       --verbose
29              Prints additional information while processing.
30
31       -L languages
32              Specify  which  languages  to  process.  Multuple -L options are
33              accepted, or multiple languages defined in one -L flag.
34
35       --aggressive-import
36              Activates --aggresive-match and  automatically  removes  "dummy"
37              entries  that  are  added by importing .strings files which were
38              not created by make_strings program.  This  option  is  suitable
39              when  make_strings  is  run  for  the first time and there is an
40              existing .strings file which contains a fairly accurate transla‐
41              tion.
42
43       --aggressive-match
44              This  option  will  make  make_strings assume that matching keys
45              should have matching translations.  This can save lots of  work,
46              but it increases the risk of erroneous translation.
47
48       --aggressive-remove
49              Removes obsolete strings/keys.
