DESCRIPTION

This tool parses all Perl, Python, Javascript and Text::Xslate templates in the current directory and subdirectories to find calls to the Locale::Simple API.

It gives out on STDERR which files are parsed right now, while it dumps the resulting data to the screen. By default it generates a .po file, but you can specify via --output to dump json, yaml or a perl data structure.

Be aware that we add the domain as flag in the .po file. So double token may appear which only differs through a #, flag.
