Name¶
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::msg_compile - Compile language translation files
Synopsis¶
In
dist.ini:
[LocaleTextDomain]
textdomain = My-App
lang_dir = po
On the command line:
dzil msg-compile po/fr.po
Description¶
This command compiles one or more GNU gettext
<
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>-style language catalogs into a
directory in your distribution. The idea is to be able to easily compile a
catalog while working on it, to see how it works, without having to compile
the entire distribution. It can either compile the specified translation
files, or will scan the language directory to compile all the translation
files in the distribution. It relies on the settings from the
"LocaleTextDomain" plugin for its settings, and requires that the
GNU gettext utilities be available.
Options¶
"-d"
"--dest-dir"
Destination directory for the compiled catalogs. The compiled language files
will be stored in this directory as
LocaleData/$language/LC_MESSAGES/$textdomain.mo. As long as the
specified directory is in Perl's @INC, Locale::TextDomain should be able to
find them there. Defaults to the current directory.
"--msgfmt"
The location of the "msgfmt" program, which is distributed with GNU
gettext <
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>. Defaults to just
"msgfmt" (or "msgfmt.exe" on Windows), which should work
if it's in your path.
