Locale...::Text(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Locale::XGettext::Text — bestie, this is the one that creates PO files out of plain text files ✨

No cap, it's a Perl module, it lives at Locale::XGettext::Text, and it's giving "turn your text into translatable PO entries" energy. Periodt.

---

🌸 USAGE 🌸

Okay so here's literally all you gotta do:

use Locale::XGettext::Text;

Locale::XGettext::Text->newFromArgv(\@ARGV)->run->po;

That's the whole vibe. Chain it, run it, get your PO. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Not gonna lie, this page is the short one. For the full tea you gotta go read xgettext-txt. It has all the details, iykyk. 👑

---

✨ METHODS ✨

Here's what's actually implemented right here in this module. Everything else? Inherited from Locale::XGettext. So don't come for me, the rest is up the family tree, fr fr. 🌈

• readFile FILENAME — Reads FILENAME and adds a PO entry for every single paragraph in FILENAME. Every paragraph. Not every line. Paragraphs. Obsessed with how simple that is. 💅
• versionInformation — Hands you back the version information for the module. Iconic, informative, short. ✨
• fileInformation — Hands you back info about the expected input file format. Basically it tells you what kind of file it's expecting to snack on. 🍓
