Locale::gettext_pp - Pure Perl Implementation of Uniforum Message Translation

 use gettext_pp (:locale_h :libintl_h);

 gettext $msgid;
 dgettext $domainname, $msgid;
 dcgettext $domainname, $msgid, LC_MESSAGES;
 ngettext $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count;
 dngettext $domainname, $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count;
 dcngettext $domainname, $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count, LC_MESSAGES;
 textdomain $domainname;
 bindtextdomain $domainname, $directory;
 bind_textdomain_codeset $domainname, $encoding;
 my $category = LC_CTYPE;

The module Locale::gettext_pp is the low-level interface to message translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris.

Normally you should not use this module directly, but the high level interface Locale::TextDomain(3) that provides a much simpler interface. This description is therefore deliberately kept brief. Please refer to the GNU gettext documentation available at <http://www.gnu.org/manual/gettext/> for in-depth and background information on the topic.

The module exports by default nothing. Every function has to be imported explicitely or via an export tag (EXPORT TAGS).

gettext MSGID

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

dgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

dcgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, CATEGORY

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

ngettext MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

dngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

dcngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT, CATEGORY

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

textdomain TEXTDOMAIN

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

bindtextdomain TEXTDOMAIN, DIRECTORY

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

bind_textdomain_codeset TEXTDOMAIN, ENCODING

nl_putenv ENVSPEC

See FUNCTIONS in Locale::Messages.

You can (maybe) get the same constants from POSIX(3); see there for a detailed description

LC_CTYPE

LC_NUMERIC

LC_TIME

LC_COLLATE

LC_MONETARY

LC_MESSAGES

LC_ALL

See CONSTANTS in Locale::Messages for more information.

This module does not export anything unless explicitely requested. You can import groups of functions via two tags:

use Locale::gettext_pp (':locale_h')

Imports the functions that are normally defined in the C include file locale.h:

BIgettext()

BIdgettext()

BIdcgettext()

BIngettext()

BIdngettext()

BIdcngettext()

BItextdomain()

BIbindtextdomain()

BIbind_textdomain_codeset()

use Locale::gettext_pp (':libintl_h')

Imports the locale category constants:

LC_CTYPE

LC_NUMERIC

LC_TIME

LC_COLLATE

LC_MONETARY

LC_MESSAGES

LC_ALL
