slint-tr-extractor

A command-line tool for extracting translatable strings from .slint files and generating gettext-compatible translation files.

Overview

slint-tr-extractor is part of the Slint framework's internationalization (i18n) workflow. It scans .slint files for strings marked with the @tr() macro and extracts them into gettext .pot (Portable Object Template) files, which can then be translated into multiple languages.

See also the Slint Translations Guide for more information.
