NAME
Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact - use translations from a POT file
INHERITANCE
Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact
is a Exporter
SYNOPSIS
# using a PO table efficiently
my $pot = Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact
->read('po/nl.po', charset => 'utf-8')
or die;
my $header = $pot->msgid('');
print $pot->msgstr('msgid', 3);
DESCRIPTION
This module is translating, based on PO files. PO files are used to store translations in humanly readable format for most of existing
translation frameworks, like GNU gettext and Perl's Maketext.
Internally, this module tries to be as efficient as possible: high speed and low memory foot-print. You will not be able to sub-class this
class cleanly.
If you like to change the content of PO files, then use Log::Report::Lexicon::POT.
METHODS
Constructors
Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact->read(FILENAME, OPTIONS)
Read the POT table information from FILENAME, as compact as possible. Comments, plural-form, and such are lost on purpose: they are
not needed for translations.
-Option --Default
charset <required>
charset => STRING
The character-set which is used for the file. You must specify this explicitly, while it cannot be trustfully detected
automatically.
Attributes
$obj->filename
Returns the name of the source file for this data.
$obj->index
Returns a HASH of all defined PO objects, organized by msgid. Please try to avoid using this: use msgid() for lookup.
$obj->nrPlurals
Managing PO's
$obj->header(FIELD)
The translation of a blank MSGID is used to store a MIME header, which contains meta-data. The FIELD content is returned.
$obj->msgid(STRING)
Lookup the translations with the STRING. Returns a SCALAR, when only one translation is known, and an ARRAY wherein there are
multiple. Returns "undef" when the translation is not defined.
$obj->msgstr(MSGID, [COUNT])
Returns the translated string for MSGID. When not specified, COUNT is 1 (the single form).
