* Instead of an extra `compile-all` option on the `compile` (or `compile_catalog`) command, compilation of all catalogs is performed when neither an `input_file` nor a `locale` is specified.
* The `--use-fuzzy` option works again from the command-line.

| 38 The ``compile`` sub-command can be used to compile translation catalogs into | |
| 39 binary MO files:: | |

| 41 $ babel compile --help | |
| 42 usage: babel compile [options] | |
| 43 | |
| 44 compile message catalogs to MO files | |
| 45 | |
| 46 options: | |
| 47 -h, --help show this help message and exit | |
| 48 -D DOMAIN, --domain=DOMAIN | |
| 49 domain of MO and PO files (default 'messages') | |
| 50 -d DIR, --directory=DIR | |
| 51 base directory of catalog files | |
| 52 -l LOCALE, --locale=LOCALE | |
| 53 locale of the catalog | |
| 54 -i FILE, --input-file=FILE | |
| 55 name of the input file | |
| 56 -o FILE, --output-file=FILE | |
| 57 name of the output file (default | |
| 58 '<output_dir>/<locale>/LC_MESSAGES/<domain>.mo') | |
| 59 -f, --use-fuzzy also include fuzzy translations (default False) | |
| 60 | |
| 61 If ``directory`` is specified, but ``output-file`` is not, the default filename | |
| 62 of the output file will be:: | |
| 63 | |
| 64 <directory>/<locale>/LC_MESSAGES/<domain>.mo | |
| 65 | |
| 66 If neither the ``input_file`` nor the ``locale`` option is set, this command | |
| 67 looks for all catalog files in the base directory that match the given domain, | |
| 68 and compiles each of them to MO files in the same directory. | |
