where po-dir is a directory of existing PO files that you want to clean.

DESCRIPTION

pocommentclean will remove all translator comments from a directory of PO files.

OPTIONS

--backup

Create a backup file for each PO file converted, with the .po.bak extension.

OPERATION

Using sed pocommentclean will delete all lines starting with # but which are not standard Gettext PO format lines. So it won’t delete developer comments (#.), obsolete messages (#˜), flags (#,) or locations (#:).
