Locale::Maketext::Gettext - Joins the gettext and Maketext frameworks

Locale::Maketext::Gettext joins the GNU gettext and Maketext frameworks. It is a subclass of Locale::Maketext that follows the way GNU gettext works. It works seamlessly, both in the sense of GNU gettext and Maketext. As a result, you enjoy both their advantages, and get rid of both their problems, too.

You start as an usual GNU gettext localization project: Work on PO files with the help of translators, reviewers and Emacs. Turn them into MO files with msgfmt. Copy them into the appropriate locale directory, such as
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/myapp.mo.

Then, build your Maketext localization class, with your base class changed from Locale::Maketext to Locale::Maketext::Gettext. That's all. ^_*'

• Locale::Maketext::Gettext::Functions

Locale::Maketext::Gettext::Functions is a functional interface to Locale::Maketext::Gettext (and Locale::Maketext). It works completely the GNU gettext way. It plays magic to Locale::Maketext. No more localization class/subclasses and language handles are required.

• The maketext script

The maketext script is a command-line interface to Locale::Maketext::Gettext (and Locale::Maketext). It can be used in shell scripts, etc, to translate, maketext and return the result. 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.
