const gmd = require('gettext-markdown');
const fs = require('fs');

let po = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/gettext.po', 'utf-8');
gmd.po2md('/path/to/gettext.po', po)
  .then((r) => {
    for (let i in r) {
      let filename = r[i].fn;
      let pofilename = r[i].po;
      let lang = r[i].lang;
      let data = r[i].data;
      // fn contains the original markdown file name
      // po contains the PO file name
      // lang contains the language name for this PO
      // data contains the localized markdown contents
      ...
    }
