Ruby-Gettext-Package

Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) library and tool

which is modeled after the GNU gettext package.

This library translates original messages to localized

messages using client-side locale information(environment

variable or CGI variable).

The tools for developers support creating, useing, and modifying

localized message files(message catalogs).

((Rails)) Rails support has been removed.

Rails / ActiveRecord specific code now lives in gettext_rails and gettext_activerecord.

Features

Simple APIs(similar to GNU gettext)
rgettext creates po-files from
- ruby scripts
- glade-2 XML file(.glade)
- ERB file(.rhtml, .erb)
- Anything (with your own parsers)
- The po-files are compatible to GNU gettext.
rmsgfmt creates a mo-file from a po-file. The mo-file is compatible to GNU gettext(msgfmt).
textdomain’s scope is adapt to ruby class/module mechanism.
- A class/module can have plural textdomains.
- a message is looked up in its class/module and ancestors.
CGI support (gettext/cgi)
- Locale is retrieved from client informations (HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET, QUERY_STRING(lang), Cookies(lang)).
String%() is extended to use named argument such as %{foo}" %{:foo => 1}. Notes that Ruby-1.9.x supports this format by itself.
