METHODS
The following methods are available:
new
$tmx = new XML::TMX::Writer();
Creates a new XML::TMX::Writer object
start_tmx
$tmx->start_tmx(-output => 'some_file.tmx');
Begins a TMX file. Several options are available:
- -output
-
Output of the TMX, if none is defined stdout is used by default.
- tool
-
Tool used to create the TMX. Defaults to 'XML::TMX::Writer'
- toolversion

Specifies the format of the translation memory file from which the TMX document or segment thereof have been generated.
- adminlang
-
Specifies the default language for the administrative and informative elements <note> and <prop>.

All TMX documents are in Unicode. However, it is sometimes useful to know what code set was used to encode text that was converted to Unicode for purposes of interchange. This option specifies the original or preferred code set of the data of the element in case it is to be re-encoded in a non-Unicode code set. Defaults to none.
- id
-
Specifies the identifier of the user who created the element. Defaults to none.
- -note
-
A reference to a list of notes to be added in the header.
- -prop
-
A reference fo a hash of properties to be added in the header. Keys are used as the
type
attribute, value as the tag contents.
add_tu
$tmx->add_tu(srclang => LANG1, LANG1 => 'text1', LANG2 => 'text2');
$tmx->add_tu(srclang => LANG1,
LANG1 => 'text1',
LANG2 => 'text2',
-note => ["value1", ## notes
"value2"],
-prop => { type1 => ["value1","value"], #multiple values
_ => 'value2', # anonymound properties
typen => ["valuen"],}
);
Adds a translation unit to the TMX file. Several optional labels can be specified:
- id
