struct Gettext::MOBackend

Overview

The backend for Gettext's MO files. This class contains methods to parse and interact with them.

Similar to the Gettext module from Python, feel free to subclass and override the internal #parse_ method to create a backend for other .mo files. However, please consider opening a PR and adding it directly to lens instead!

Instance Method Detail

def create : Hash(String, Catalogue) #

Create message catalogue from the loaded locale files.

This is the equivalent to #parse and is only here for compatibility with Gettext::POBackend

This is returned as a mapping of the language code to the catalogue in which the language code is taken from the Language header. If none can be found then the mo file name is used as a fallback.

backend = Gettext::MOBackend.new("locales")
backend.create # => Hash(String, Catalogue)

def parse : Hash(String, Catalogue) #

Parse gettext mo files into message catalogues.

This is returned as a mapping of the language code to the catalogue in which the language code is taken from the Language header. If none can be found then the mo file name is used as a fallback.

backend = Gettext::MOBackend.new("locales")
backend.parse # => Hash(String, Catalogue)
