if you don't like to specify key every time, you can put it into ~/.config/potrans.key:

::

echo "trnsl.1.1.20160716T101753Z.a0378f5552843fb4.c5a82afc2a581d1e3717f92d4c753f3f798deb2a" >> ~/.config/potrans.key

potrans translate -i ./ru_RU.po -il ru -ol it -o ./it_IT.po

potrans translate --usemsgid -i ./ru_RU.po -il ru -ol it -o ./it_IT.po

Just convert *.po to *.mo without translation:
