NAME
Locale::gettext - message handling functions
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::gettext;
use POSIX; # Needed for setlocale()
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
# OO interface
my $d = Locale::gettext->domain("my_program");
print $d->get("Welcome to my program"), "\n";
# (printed in the local language)
# Direct access to C functions
textdomain("my_program");
print gettext("Welcome to my program"), "\n";
# (printed in the local language)
DESCRIPTION
The gettext module permits access from perl to the gettext() family of functions for
retrieving message strings from databases constructed to internationalize software.
$d = Locale::gettext->domain(DOMAIN)
$d = Locale::gettext->domain_raw(DOMAIN)
Creates a new object for retrieving strings in the domain DOMAIN and returns it.
"domain" requests that strings be returned as Perl strings (possibly with wide
characters) if possible while "domain_raw" requests that octet strings directly from
functions like "dgettext()".
$d->get(MSGID)
Calls "dgettext()" to return the translated string for the given MSGID.
$d->cget(MSGID, CATEGORY)
Calls "dcgettext()" to return the translated string for the given MSGID in the given
CATEGORY.
$d->nget(MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, N)
Calls "dngettext()" to return the translated string for the given MSGID or MSGID_PLURAL
depending on N.
$d->ncget(MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, N, CATEGORY)
Calls "dngettext()" to return the translated string for the given MSGID or MSGID_PLURAL
depending on N in the given CATEGORY.
$d->dir([NEWDIR])
If NEWDIR is given, calls "bindtextdomain" to set the name of the directory where
messages for the domain represented by $d are found. Returns the (possibly changed)
current directory name.
$d->codeset([NEWCODE])
For instances created with "Locale::gettext->domain_raw", manuiplates the character set
of the returned strings. If NEWCODE is given, calls "bind_textdomain_codeset" to set
the character encoding in which messages for the domain represented by $d are returned.
Returns the (possibly changed) current encoding name.
gettext(), dgettext(), and dcgettext() attempt to retrieve a string matching their "msgid"
parameter within the context of the current locale. dcgettext() takes the message's
category and the text domain as parameters while dgettext() defaults to the LC_MESSAGES
category and gettext() defaults to LC_MESSAGES and uses the current text domain. If the
string is not found in the database, then "msgid" is returned.
ngettext(), dngettext(), and dcngettext() function similarily but implement
differentiation of messages between singular and plural. See the documentation for the
corresponding C functions for details.
textdomain() sets the current text domain and returns the previously active domain.
bindtextdomain(domain, dirname) instructs the retrieval functions to look for the
databases belonging to domain "domain" in the directory "dirname"
bind_textdomain_codeset(domain, codeset) instructs the retrieval functions to translate
the returned messages to the character encoding given by codeset if the encoding of the
message catalog is known.
NOTES
Not all platforms provide all of the functions. Functions that are not available in the
underlying C library will not be available in Perl either.
Perl programs should use the object interface. In addition to being able to return native
Perl wide character strings, "bind_textdomain_codeset" will be emulated if the C library
does not provide it.
