NAME

6       maketext - translate and make messages
7

SYNOPSIS

9         maketext [OPTION] [--domain=TEXTDOMAIN] MSGKEY [PARAM...]
10         maketext [OPTION] -s MSGID [PARAM...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The "maketext" script translates a natural language message into the
14       user's language, by looking up the translation in a message MO file,
15       and process the plural transformation with Maketext.
16
17       The "maketext" script is a command-line interface to
18       Locale::Maketext::Gettext(3) (and Locale::Maketext(3)).  It can be used
19       in shell scripts, etc, to translate, maketext and return the result.
20       By this way, it enables Maketext to be integrated into other
21       programming languages/systems, like bash/csh, python, PHP, C, etc.  It
22       works like the command-line program gettext.
23
24       For example:
25
26         % maketext -s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 0 1
27         0 viruses were found in 1 file.
28         % maketext -s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 1 3
29         1 virus was found in 3 files.
30         %
31

34           Retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN.
35
36       -s  Adds a new line to the end of the output so that it behaves like

40           Display the help messages.

50

ENVIRONMENT

52       TEXTDOMAIN
53           TEXTDOMAIN is used to determine the text domain when the -d
54           parameter is not given.
55
56       TEXTDOMAINDIR
57           TEXTDOMAINDIR is used to search the message catelog/MO file if it
58           does not reside in the system locale directories.
59

NOTES

61       Maketext language function override, like "quant" or "numerate", is not
62       available here.  Suggestions are welcome.
63
64       The current system locale directory search order is: /usr/share/locale,
65       /usr/lib/locale, /usr/local/share/locale, /usr/local/lib/locale.
66       Suggestions are welcome.
