NAME

Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext - Gettext catalog parser for Maketext

SYNOPSIS

Called via Locale::Maketext::Lexicon:

    package Hello::L10N;
    use base 'Locale::Maketext';
    use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {de => [Gettext => 'hello_de.po']};

Directly calling parse():

    use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext;
    my %Lexicon = Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Gettext->parse(<DATA>);
    __DATA__
    #: Hello.pm:10
    msgid "Hello, World!"
    msgstr "Hallo, Welt!"

DESCRIPTION

This module implements a perl-based Gettext parser for Locale::Maketext. It transforms all %1, %2... sequences to [_1], [_2], and so on.

As an additional feature, this module also parses MIME-header style metadata specified in the null msgstr (""), and add them to the %Lexicon with a __ prefix. For example, the example above will set __Content-Type to text/plain; charset=iso8859-1, without the newline or the colon.

Any normal entry that duplicates a metadata entry takes precedence. Hence, a msgid "__Content-Type" line occurs anywhere should override the above value.
