NAME

XML::TMX::Reader - Perl extension for reading TMX files

SYNOPSIS

use XML::TMX::Reader;

my $reader = XML::TMX::Reader->new( $filename );

$reader -> for_tu( sub {
    my $tu = shift;
    #blah blah blah
});

@used_languages = $reader->languages;

$reader->to_html()

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple way for reading TMX files.

METHODS

The following methods are available:

new

This method creates a new XML::TMX::Reader object. This process checks for the existence of the file and extracts some meta-information from the TMX header;

my $reader = XML::TMX::Reader->new("my.tmx");

ignore_markup

This method is used to set the flag to ignore (or not) markup inside translation unit segments. The default is to ignore those markup.

If called without parameters, it sets the flag to ignore the markup. If you don't want to do that, use

$reader->ignore_markup(0);

languages

This method returns the languages being used on the specified translation memory. Note that the module does not check for language code correctness or existence.

for_tu

Use for_tu to process all translation units from a TMX file. The first optional argument is a configuration hash. The mandatory argument to this method is a code reference. This code will be called for each translation unit found.

The configuration hash is a reference to a Perl hash. At the moment these are valid options:

output

Filename to output the changed TMX to. Note that if you use this option, your function should return a hash reference where keys are language names, and values their respective translation.

The function will receive two arguments:

• a reference to a hash which maps language codes to the respective translation unit segment;

• a reference to a hash which contains the attributes for those translation unit tag;

If you want to process the TMX and return it again, your function should return an hash reference where keys are the languages, and values their respective translation.

to_html

Use this method to create a nice HTML file with the translation memories. Notice that this method is not finished yet, and relies on some images, on some specific locations.
