nettext

A managed .NET library for localization, using gettext's PO file format.

I needed a performant, managed solution, with proper plural support, that uses PO files. When I couldn't find one, I created one myself.

Methods

GetString(string id)

Returns translation for a single phrase.

GetParticularString(string context, string id)

Returns translation for a single phrase in a specific context.

GetPluralString(string id, string id_plural, int n)

Returns translation for a plural string, based on n.

GetParticularPluralString(string context, string id, string id_plural, int n)

Returns translation for singular or plural string in a specific context, based on n.

Usage

using nettext;

var po = new PoFile("de.po");

Console.WriteLine(po.GetString("File")); // Datei
Console.WriteLine(po.GetPluralString("{0} file", "{0} files", 2), 2); // 2 Dateien
Console.WriteLine(po.GetParticularString("office", "File")); // Akte

For more examples, check the tests.
