NAME

Log::Report::Lexicon::PO - one translation definition

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This module is administering one translation object. Sets of PO objects are kept in a POT file, implemented in Log::Report::Lexicon::POT.

METHODS

Constructors

Log::Report::Lexicon::PO->new(OPTIONS)

Option      --Default
automatic     ""
comment       []
format        []
fuzzy         false
msgid         <required>
msgid_plural  undef
msgstr        "" or []
references    []

. automatic => PARAGRAPH

Automaticly added comments. See addAutomatic().

. comment => PARAGRAPH

Translator added comments. See addComment().

. format => ARRAY-OF-PAIRS|HASH

See format().

. fuzzy => BOOLEAN

The string is not yet translated, some smart guesses may have been made. See fuzzy().

. msgid => STRING

. msgid_plural => STRING

. msgstr => STRING|ARRAY-OF-STRING

The translations for the msgid. When msgid_plural is defined, then an ARRAY must be provided.

. references => STRING|ARRAY-OF-LOCATIONS

The STRING is a blank separated list of LOCATIONS. LOCATIONs are of the form filename:linenumber, for instance lib/Foo.pm:42 See addReferences()

Attributes

$obj->addAutomatic(LIST|ARRAY|STRING)

Add multiple lines to the translator's comment block. Returns an empty string if there are no comments.

$obj->addComment(LIST|ARRAY|STRING)

Add multiple lines to the translator's comment block. Returns an empty string if there are no comments.

$obj->addFlags(STRING)

Parse a "flags" line.

$obj->addReferences(STRING|LIST|ARRAY)

The STRING is a blank separated list of LOCATIONS. The LIST and ARRAY contain separate LOCATIONs. A LOCATION is of the form filename:linenumber. Returns the internal HASH with references.

$obj->automatic([LIST|ARRAY|STRING])

Returns a STRING which contains the cleaned paragraph of automatically added comments. If an argument is specified, it will replace the current comment.

$obj->comment([LIST|ARRAY|STRING])

Returns a STRING which contains the cleaned paragraph of translator's comment. If an argument is specified, it will replace the current comment.

$obj->format(LANGUAGE|PAIRS|ARRAY-OF-PAIRS|HASH)

When one LANGUAGE is specified, it looks whether a LANGUAGE-format or no-LANGUAGE-format is present in the line of FLAGS. This will return 1 (true) in the first case, 0 (false) in the second case. It will return undef (also false) in case that both are not present.

You can also specify PAIRS: the key is a language name, and the value is either 0, 1, or undef.

Example: use of format()

if($po->format('c')) ...
unless($po->format('perl-brace')) ...
if(defined $po->format('java')) ...

$po->format(java => 1);       # results in 'java-format'
$po->format(java => 0);       # results in 'no-java-format'
$po->format(java => undef);   # results in ''

$obj->fuzzy([BOOLEAN])

Returns whether the translation needs human inspection.

$obj->isActive

Returns whether the translation has any references, or is the header.

$obj->msgid

Returns the actual msgid, which cannot be undef.

$obj->msgstr([INDEX, [STRING]])

With a STRING, a new translation will be set. Without STRING, a lookup will take place. When no plural is defined, use INDEX 0

$obj->plural([STRING])

Returns the actual msgid_plural, which can be undef.

$obj->references([STRING|LIST|ARRAY])

Returns an unsorted list of LOCATIONS. When options are specified, then those will be used to replace all currently defined references. Returns the unsorted LIST of references.

$obj->removeReferencesTo(FILENAME)

Remove all the references to the indicate FILENAME from the list. Returns the number of refs left.

Parsing

Log::Report::Lexicon::PO->fromText(STRING, [WHERE])

Parse the STRING into a new PO object. The WHERE string should explain the location of the STRING, to be used in error messages.

$obj->toString(OPTIONS)

Format the object into a multi-lined string.

Option    --Default
nr_plurals  undef

. nr_plurals => INTEGER

If the number of plurals is specified, then the plural translation list can be checked for the correct lenght. Otherwise, no smart behavior is attempted.
