MAKETEXT(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation MAKETEXT(1)NAMEmaketext - translate and make messages
SYNOPSISmaketext [OPTION] [--domain=TEXTDOMAIN] MSGKEY [PARAM...]
maketext [OPTION] -s MSGID [PARAM...]
DESCRIPTION
The "maketext" script translates a natural language message into the
user's language, by looking up the translation in a message MO file,
and process the plural transformation with Maketext.
The "maketext" script is a command-line interface to
Locale::Maketext::Gettext(3) (and Locale::Maketext(3)). It can be used
in shell scripts, etc, to translate, maketext and return the result.
By this way, it enables Maketext to be integrated into other
programming languages/systems, like bash/csh, python, PHP, C, etc. It
works like the command-line program gettext.
For example:
% maketext-s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 0 1
0 viruses were found in 1 file.
% maketext-s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 1 3
1 virus was found in 3 files.
%
OPTIONS-d,--domain=TEXTDOMAIN
Retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN.
-s Adds a new line to the end of the output so that it behaves like
the `echo' or the `gettext' command.
-h,--help
Display the help messages.
-V,--version
Display version information and exit.
MSGKEY
The original text used to look up translated text.
PARAM...
Parameters to Maketext for the plural and other text functions.
ENVIRONMENT
TEXTDOMAIN
TEXTDOMAIN is used to determine the text domain when the -d
parameter is not given.
TEXTDOMAINDIR
TEXTDOMAINDIR is used to search the message catelog/MO file if it
does not reside in the system locale directories.
NOTES
Maketext language function override, like "quant" or "numerate", is not
available here. Suggestions are welcome.
The current system locale directory search order is: /usr/share/locale,
/usr/lib/locale, /usr/local/share/locale, /usr/local/lib/locale.
Suggestions are welcome.
