+.SH NAME
+tqm2ts \- generate Qt Linguist translation files from Qt 2.x message files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B tqm2ts
+.RI "[ " options " ] " qm-files
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This page documents the
+.B Qt Linguist Qm2ts
+tool for the Qt GUI toolkit.
+.B Qm2ts
+converts Qt 2.x message files (.qm files) into source message files
+(.ts files).
+.PP
+The .ts file format is a simple human-readable XML format that can be
+used with version control systems if required. It is understood by
+.B lupdate,
+.B lrelease
+and
+.B Qt Linguist.
+.PP
+.B tqm2ts
+is provided to ease porting from the old internationalization
+tools
+.B (tqtfindtr,
+.B tqtmergetr
+and
+.B msg2tqm)
+to the new ones. It will not accept Qt message files generated by
+.B lrelease,
+as
+.B lrelease
+compresses .qm files by stripping unnecessary information for lookup.
