NAME
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext - PO and MO file parser for Maketext
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,
