NAME

Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Getcontext - PO file parser for Maketext

VERSION

version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

Called via Locale::Maketext::Lexicon:

    package Hello::I18N;
    use base 'Locale::Maketext';
    use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
        de => [Getcontext => 'hello/de.po'],
    };

Directly calling parse():

    use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Getcontext;
    my %Lexicon = %{ Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Getcontext->parse(<DATA>) };
    __DATA__
    #: Hello.pm:10
    msgid "Hello, World!"
    msgstr "Hallo, Welt!"

    #: Hello.pm:11
    msgid "You have %quant(%1,piece) of mail."
    msgstr "Sie haben %quant(%1,Poststueck,Poststuecken)."

WARNING

This module is a very experimental fork/variant of Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext where messages are fetched by their msgctxt instead of their msgid. It is currently mostly developed to help the I18N of OpenFoodFacts and OpenBeautyFacts. You probably don't want to use this, unless you really now what you are doing.

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a perl-based Gettext parser for Locale::Maketext. It transforms all %1, %2, <%*>... sequences to [_1], [_2], [_*], and so on. It currently accepts only plain PO files.

This module also looks for %function(args...) in the lexicon strings, and transform it to [function,args...]. Any %1, %2... sequences inside the args will have their percent signs (%) replaced by underscores (_).

The name of function above should begin with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of alphanumeric characters and/or underscores. As an exception, the function name may also consist of a single asterisk (*) or pound sign (#), which are Locale::Maketext's shorthands for quant and numf, respectively.

As an additional feature, this module also parses MIME-header style metadata specified in the null msgstr (""), and add them to the %Lexicon with a __ prefix. For example, the example above will set __Content-Type to text/plain; charset=iso8859-1, without the newline or the colon.

Any normal entry that duplicates a metadata entry takes precedence. Hence, a msgid "__Content-Type" line occurs anywhere should override the above value.

OPTIONS

use_fuzzy

When parsing PO files, fuzzy entries (entries marked with #, fuzzy) are silently ignored. If you wish to use fuzzy entries, specify a true value to the _use_fuzzy option:

    use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
        de => [Getcontext => 'hello/de.po'],
            _use_fuzzy => 1,
    };

allow_empty

When parsing PO files, empty entries (entries with msgstr "") are silently ignored. If you wish to allow empty entries, specify a true value to the _allow_empty option:

    use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
        de => [Getcontext => 'hello/de.po'],
            _allow_empty => 1,
    };

disable_maketext_conversion

After parsing PO files, the strings are converted from the Gettext syntax to the Maketext syntax. If you wish to disable this, specify a true value to the _disable_maketext_conversion option:

    use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
        de => [Getcontext => 'hello/de.po'],
            _disable_maketext_conversion => 1,
    };
