NAME¶
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext - PO and MO file parser for Maketext
VERSION¶
version 1.00
SYNOPSIS¶
Called via
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon:
package Hello::I18N;
use base 'Locale::Maketext';
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
};
Directly calling "parse()":
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext;
my %Lexicon = %{ Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext->parse(<DATA>) };
__DATA__
#: Hello.pm:10
msgid "Hello, World!"
msgstr "Hallo, Welt!"
#: Hello.pm:11
msgid "You have %quant(%1,piece) of mail."
msgstr "Sie haben %quant(%1,Poststueck,Poststuecken)."
DESCRIPTION¶
This module implements a perl-based "Gettext" parser for
Locale::Maketext. It transforms all %1, %2, <%*>... sequences to
"[_1]", "[_2]", "[_*]", and so on. It accepts
either plain PO file, or a MO file which will be handled with a pure-perl
parser adapted from Imacat's "Locale::Maketext::Gettext".
Since version 0.03, this module also looks for "%
function(
args...)" in the lexicon strings, and transform it
to "[
function,
args...]". Any %1, %2... sequences
inside the
args will have their percent signs ("%") replaced
by underscores ("_").
The name of
function above should begin with a letter or underscore,
followed by any number of alphanumeric characters and/or underscores. As an
exception, the function name may also consist of a single asterisk
("*") or pound sign ("#"), which are
"Locale::Maketext"'s shorthands for "quant" and
"numf", respectively.
As an additional feature, this module also parses MIME-header style metadata
specified in the null msgstr (""), and add them to the %Lexicon with
a "__" prefix. For example, the example above will set
"__Content-Type" to "text/plain; charset=iso8859-1",
without the newline or the colon.
Any normal entry that duplicates a metadata entry takes precedence. Hence, a
"msgid "__Content-Type"" line occurs anywhere should
override the above value.
OPTIONS¶
use_fuzzy¶
When parsing PO files, fuzzy entries (entries marked with "#, fuzzy")
are silently ignored. If you wish to use fuzzy entries, specify a true value
to the "_use_fuzzy" option:
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
_use_fuzzy => 1,
};
allow_empty¶
When parsing PO files, empty entries (entries with "msgstr
""") are silently ignored. If you wish to allow empty entries,
specify a true value to the "_allow_empty" option:
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
_allow_empty => 1,
};
