# xgettext
> Extract gettext strings from code files.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/xgettext-Invocation.html>.
- Scan file and output strings to `messages.po`:
`xgettext {{path/to/input_file}}`
- Use a different output filename:
`xgettext --output {{path/to/output_file}} {{path/to/input_file}}`
- Append new strings to an existing file:
`xgettext --join-existing --output {{path/to/output_file}} {{path/to/input_file}}`
- Don't add a header containing metadata to the output file:
`xgettext --omit-header {{path/to/input_file}}`
