Locale::gettext_pp(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation NAME Locale::gettext_pp - Pure Perl Implementation of Uniforum Message Translation SYNOPSIS use Locale::gettext_pp qw(:locale_h :libintl_h); gettext $msgid; dgettext $domainname, $msgid; dcgettext $domainname, $msgid, LC_MESSAGES; ngettext $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count; dngettext $domainname, $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count; dcngettext $domainname, $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count, LC_MESSAGES; pgettext $msgctxt, $msgid; dpgettext $domainname, $msgctxt, $msgid; dcpgettext $domainname, $msgctxt, $msgid, LC_MESSAGES; npgettext $msgctxt, $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count; dnpgettext $domainname, $msgctxt, $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count; dcnpgettext $domainname, $msgctxt, $msgid, $msgid_plural, $count, LC_MESSAGES; textdomain $domainname; bindtextdomain $domainname, $directory; bind_textdomain_codeset $domainname, $encoding; my $category = LC_CTYPE; my $category = LC_NUMERIC; my $category = LC_TIME; my $category = LC_COLLATE; my $category = LC_MONETARY; my $category = LC_MESSAGES; my $category = LC_ALL; DESCRIPTION The module Locale::gettext_pp is the low-level interface to message translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris. Normally you should not use this module directly, but the high level interface Locale::TextDomain(3) that provides a much simpler interface. This description is therefore deliberately kept brief. Please refer to the GNU gettext documentation available at for in-depth and background information on the topic. FUNCTIONS The module exports by default nothing. Every function has to be imported explicitely or via an export tag ("EXPORT TAGS"). gettext MSGID See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dcgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, CATEGORY See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. ngettext MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dcngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT, CATEGORY See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. pgettext MSGCTXT, MSGID See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dcpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID, CATEGORY See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. npgettext MSGCTXT, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dnpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. dcnpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT, CATEGORY See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. textdomain TEXTDOMAIN See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. bindtextdomain TEXTDOMAIN, DIRECTORY See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. bind_textdomain_codeset TEXTDOMAIN, ENCODING nl_putenv ENVSPEC See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. setlocale See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages. CONSTANTS You can (maybe) get the same constants from POSIX(3); see there for a detailed description LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_ALL See "CONSTANTS" in Locale::Messages for more information. EXPORT TAGS This module does not export anything unless explicitely requested. You can import groups of functions via two tags: use Locale::gettext_pp qw(':locale_h') Imports the functions that are normally defined in the C include file locale.h: gettext() dgettext() dcgettext() ngettext() dngettext() dcngettext() pgettext() Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17. dpgettext() Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17. dcpgettext() Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17. npgettext() Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17. dnpgettext() Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17. dcnpgettext() Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17. textdomain() bindtextdomain() bind_textdomain_codeset() use Locale::gettext_pp (':libintl_h') Imports the locale category constants: LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES LC_ALL AUTHOR Copyright (C) 2002-2017 Guido Flohr (), all rights reserved.
