l10n / (gettext-oriented) PO-File Generator #

####Helps to localize your application####

Screenshot)

###Install - WORKS###

dependencies:
  ...  
  l10n: any
pub update
ln -s packages/l10n/mkl10nlocale.dart mkl10nlocale

mkl10nlocale --help

####Install (should work)#### In Dart(-sdk) 1.6

$ pub global activate l10n

should works... - BUT DOES NOT!!!!

You can run the script from any local directory.

$ pub global run l10n:mkl10nlocale --help

pub global activate + run seams not ready! As said - make a symlink and you are done!

###How to use it###

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
import 'package:intl/intl_standalone.dart';
import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_local.dart';

import 'package:l10n/l10n.dart';

// This file will be generated by the framework (l10n)
// Uncomment in Step 3
//import 'package:<your package>/locale/messages.dart';

void main(List<String> arguments) {
    final Application application = new Application();

    findSystemLocale().then((final String locale) {
        // Uncomment in Step 3
        // translate.locale = Intl.shortLocale(locale);

        // Step 1 - sourround your text with l10n(...)
        // Try this: print(l10n("This is a test").message);
        print(l10n("This is a test"));  
               
        // Step 2 - run mkl10nlocale -l de,en example/
        
        // Step 3 - add the import-statement for locale/messages.dart
        // + set the locale
        
        // Step 4 - add 'translate' to your print statement
        print(translate(l10n("This is a test")));  
        
        // Step 5 - Translate the entry in your 
        // PO (for example local/de/messages.po
        
        // Step 6 - run mkl10nlocale -l de,en
        
        // Step 7 - run your program 
    });
}
$ dart mini.dart 
SystemLocale: de_AT
Dies ist ein TEST!

####Sub-Translations### Since 0.11.0 Sub-Translations are possible - here is the explanation:

locale/de/.../messages.po: 
    msgid: "Servermessage {{statuscode-400}}."
    msgstr: "Fehlerhafte Anfrage"
    
locale/en/.../messages.po: 
    msgid: "Servermessage {{statuscode-400}}."
    msgstr: ""
    
    final int major = 400;
    
    // This produces a msgid "Servermessage {{status}}." in your PO-File.
    // You can translate it as usual 
    final L10N l = new L10N( "Servermessage {{status}}.", { "status"  : "{{statuscode-${major}}}" });
    expect(l.message,"Servermessage {{statuscode-400}}.");

    // No translation for en - so fallback to msgid
    expect(translate(l),"Servermessage {{statuscode-400}}.");

    // But what we really want is what I call Sub-Translation
    translate.locale = "de";
    expect(translate(l),"Fehlerhafte Anfrage");
    
    /* 
    Internal way of sub-translation: 
      Replace vars in L10N message -> Servermessage {{statuscode-400}}.
      Check if there is a translation - return it, if not, return the msgid
    */

Drawback
You have to add the msgid "Servermessage {{statuscode-400}}." by hand to your POT-File.
The rest is done be the nice merging-feature of l10n/msgmerge

###System requirements###

  • xgettext
  • msginit
  • msgmerge

These programs are on your system if you are working on Mac or Linux.

(only if you want to generate PO/POT files)

###If you have problems###

###History ###

  • 0.11.0 - Sub-Translations are possible, msginit gets initialized with utf-8 per default
  • 0.9.0 - Released on pub
