=== Usage ===

The `i18n-extract` task parses a symfony application to extract all the strings that need to be translated.

It takes an application and a culture as its arguments:

  {{{
    php symfony i18n-extract frontend en
  }}}

By default, the task does not modify your dictionaries, it just outputs the number of new and old i18n strings. To append the new strings to your dictionary, you can pass the `--auto-save` option:

  {{{
    php symfony i18n-extract --auto-save frontend en
  }}}

You can also delete old strings automatically by passing the `--auto-delete` option:

  {{{
    php symfony i18n-extract --auto-save --auto-delete frontend en
  }}}
