6 maketext - translate and make messages
7
9 maketext [OPTION] [--domain=TEXTDOMAIN] MSGKEY [PARAM...]
10 maketext [OPTION] -s MSGKEY [PARAM...]
11
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
33 -d,--domain=TEXTDOMAIN
34 Retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN.
35
36 -s Adds a new line to the end of the output so that it behaves like
37 the `echo' or the `gettext' command.
38
39 -h,--help
40 Display the help messages.
41
42 -V,--version
43 Display version information and exit.
44
45 MSGKEY
46 The original text used to look up translated text.
47
48 PARAM...
49 Parameters to Maketext for the plural and other text functions.
50
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 catalog/MO file if it
58 does not reside in the system locale directories.
59
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.
