NAME

6       Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext - PO and MO file parser for Maketext
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Called via Locale::Maketext::Lexicon:
10
11           package Hello::I18N;
12           use base 'Locale::Maketext';
13           use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
14               de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
15           };
16
17       Directly calling "parse()":
18
19           use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext;
20           my %Lexicon = %{ Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext->parse(<DATA>) };
21           __DATA__
22           #: Hello.pm:10
23           msgid "Hello, World!"
24           msgstr "Hallo, Welt!"
25
26           #: Hello.pm:11
27           msgid "You have %quant(%1,piece) of mail."
28           msgstr "Sie haben %quant(%1,Poststueck,Poststuecken)."

DESCRIPTION

31       This module implements a perl-based "Gettext" parser for Locale::Make‐
32       text. It transforms all %1, %2, <%*>... sequences to "[_1]", "[_2]",
33       "[_*]", and so on.  It accepts either plain PO file, or a MO file which
34       will be handled with a pure-perl parser adapted from Imacat's
35       "Locale::Maketext::Gettext".
36
37       Since version 0.03, this module also looks for "%function(args...)"  in
38       the lexicon strings, and transform it to "[function,args...]".  Any %1,
39       %2... sequences inside the args will have their percent signs ("%")
40       replaced by underscores ("_").
41
42       The name of function above should begin with a letter or underscore,
43       followed by any number of alphanumeric characters and/or underscores.
44       As an exception, the function name may also consist of a single aster‐
45       isk ("*") or pound sign ("#"), which are "Locale::Maketext"'s short‐
46       hands for "quant" and "numf", respectively.
47
48       As an additional feature, this module also parses MIME-header style
49       metadata specified in the null msgstr (""), and add them to the %Lexi‐
50       con with a "__" prefix.  For example, the example above will set
51       "__Content-Type" to "text/plain; charset=iso8859-1", without the new‐
52       line or the colon.
53
54       Any normal entry that duplicates a metadata entry takes precedence.
55       Hence, a "msgid "__Content-Type"" line occurs anywhere should override
56       the above value.

OPTIONS

59       use_fuzzy
60
61       When parsing PO files, fuzzy entries (entries marked with "#, fuzzy")
62       are silently ignored.  If you wish to use fuzzy entries, specify a true
63       value to the "_use_fuzzy" option:
64
65           use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
66               de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
67               _use_fuzzy => 1,
68           };
69
70       allow_empty
71
72       When parsing PO files, empty entries (entries with "msgstr """) are
73       silently ignored.  If you wish to allow empty entries, specify a true
74       value to the "_allow_empty" option:
75
76           use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
77               de => [Gettext => 'hello/de.mo'],
78               _allow_empty => 1,
79           };
