NAME¶
Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact - use translations from a POT file
INHERITANCE¶
Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact
is a Exporter
SYNOPSIS¶
# using a PO table efficiently
my $pot = Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact
->read('po/nl.po', charset => 'utf-8')
or die;
my $header = $pot->msgid('');
print $pot->msgstr('msgid', 3);
DESCRIPTION¶
This module is translating, based on PO files. PO files are used to store
translations in humanly readable format for most of existing translation
frameworks, like GNU gettext and Perl's Maketext.
Internally, this module tries to be as efficient as possible: high speed and low
memory foot-print. You will not be able to sub-class this class cleanly.
If you like to change the content of PO files, then use
Log::Report::Lexicon::POT.
METHODS¶
Constructors¶
- Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact->read(FILENAME,
OPTIONS)
- Read the POT table information from FILENAME, as compact as
possible. Comments, plural-form, and such are lost on purpose: they are
not needed for translations.
-Option --Default
charset <required>
- charset => STRING
- The character-set which is used for the file. You must
specify this explicitly, while it cannot be trustfully detected
automatically.
Attributes¶
- $obj->filename
- Returns the name of the source file for this data.
- $obj->index
- Returns a HASH of all defined PO objects, organized by
msgid. Please try to avoid using this: use msgid() for lookup.
- $obj->nrPlurals
Managing PO's¶
- $obj->header(FIELD)
- The translation of a blank MSGID is used to store a MIME
header, which contains meta-data. The FIELD content is returned.
- $obj->msgid(STRING)
- Lookup the translations with the STRING. Returns a SCALAR,
when only one translation is known, and an ARRAY wherein there are
multiple. Returns "undef" when the translation is not
defined.
- $obj->msgstr(MSGID, [COUNT])
- Returns the translated string for MSGID. When not
specified, COUNT is 1 (the single form).
