What is it?

Dennis is a Python command line utility (and library) for working with localization. It includes:

• a linter for finding problems in strings in .po files like invalid Python variable syntax which leads to exceptions
• a template linter for finding problems in strings in .pot files that make translator's lives difficult
• a statuser for seeing the high-level translation/error status of your .po files
• a translator for strings in your .po files to make development easier

v0.6 released!

Since v0.5, I've done the following:

• Rewrote the command line handling using click and added an exception handler.
• Merged the lint and linttemplate commands. Why should you care which file you're linting when the linter can figure it out for you?
• Added the whimsical double vowel transform.
• Added line numbers in the lint output. This will make it possible to find those pesky problematic strings in your .po/.pot files.
• Add a line reporter to the linter.

Getting pretty close to what I want for a 1.0, so I'm pretty excited about this version.

Denise update

I've updated Denise with the latest Dennis and moved it to a better url. Lint your .po/.pot files via web service using http://denise.paas.allizom.org/.
