A simple and extendable .mo and .po file parser/generator.

Advanteges over original mo / po-parser:

  • simple architecture + easy to extend/modify
  • emtpy msgstr translations are read
  • comments are included
  • fuzzy can be set/unset
  • multiple translations can be combined in a new po file(with comments and fuzzy and ...)
  • po files can be written from any kind of input
  • easy mo-file handling/merging
  • po/mo file handling is identical, if you know one, you know both

Setup

sudo gem install get_pomo

###Static interface #parse po files translations = GetPomo::PoFile.parse(File.read('xxx.po')) + GetPomo::PoFile.parse(File.read('yyy.po'))

#and use the data...
msgids = translations.reject{|t|t.plural? or t.fuzzy?}.map(&:msgid)

#or write a new po file (unique by msgid)...
File.open('xxx.po','w){|f|f.print(GetPomo::PoFile.to_text(translations))}

###Instance interface p = GetPomo::PoFile.new p.add_translations_from_text(File.read('...')) ... p.translations p.to_text

GetPomo::MoFile behaves identical.

TODO

  • extracting of version/pluralisation_rule/plurals/translator... (from msgid "")
  • the vendor/mofile is really complex, maybe it can be refactored (also some parts are not needed)
