  • How to get the number of words in a PO translation file

    If you need to count the number of words in a .PO translation file, you can use the pocount command. This command is part of the translate-toolkit package.

    First, you have to install it in your Linux machine with the command:

     sudo apt install translate-toolkit -y

    Then you have to execute this command with the .po file as first argument:

    pocount myfile.po

Processing file :  myfile.po
