+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lrelease
+.RI "[ " options " ] " project-file
+.br
+.B lrelease
+.RI "[ " options " ] " ts-files " [ -qm " qm-file " ]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This page documents the
+.B Qt Linguist Release
+tool for the Qt GUI toolkit.
+.B Lrelease
+reads a qmake/tmake project file (.pro file) and converts the
+translation files (.ts files) specified in it into Qt message files
+(.qm files) used by the application to translate.
+.PP
+The .qm file format is a compact binary format that provides
+extremely fast lookups for translations and that is used by Qt.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I "-help"
+Display the usage and exit.
+.TP
+.I "-nocompress"
+Do not compress the .qm files.
+.TP
+.I "-verbose"
+Explain what is being done.
+.TP
+.I "-version"
+Display the version of
+.B lrelease
+and exit.
+.SH USAGE
+Here is an example .pro file that can be given to
+.B lrelease:
+.PP
+.in +4
+.nf
+HEADERS         = funnydialog.h \\
+                  wackywidget.h
+SOURCES         = funnydialog.cpp \\
+                  main.cpp \\
+                  wackywidget.cpp
+FORMS           = fancybox.ui
+TRANSLATIONS    = gnomovision_dk.ts \\
+                  gnomovision_fi.ts \\
+                  gnomovision_no.ts \\
+                  gnomovision_se.ts
+.fi
+.in -4
+.PP
+When running
+.B lrelease
+on this project file, the Qt message files gnomovision_dk.qm,
+gnomovision_fi.qm, gnomovision_no.qm and gnomovision_se.qm will be
+generated from gnomovision_dk.ts, gnomovision_fi.ts,
+gnomovision_no.ts and gnomovision_se.ts, respectively.
+.PP
+.B Lrelease
+can also be invoked with a list of .ts files to convert:
+.PP
+.in +4
+.nf
+lrelease gnomovision_*.ts
+.fi
+.in -4
