# I18n module |
|
|
|
This module provides internationalisation and localisation functionality. |
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
To use this module, just do: **`i18n = import('i18n')`**. The |
|
following functions will then be available as methods on the object |
|
with the name `i18n`. You can, of course, replace the name `i18n` with |
|
anything else. |
|
|
|
### i18n.gettext() |
|
|
|
Sets up gettext localisation so that translations are built and placed |
|
into their proper locations during install. Takes one positional |
|
argument which is the name of the gettext module. |
|
|
|
* `args`: list of extra arguments to pass to `xgettext` when |
|
generating the pot file |
|
* `data_dirs`: (*Added 0.36.0*) list of directories to be set for |
|
`GETTEXTDATADIRS` env var (Requires gettext 0.19.8+), used for local |
|
its files |
|
* `languages`: list of languages that are to be generated. As of |
|
0.37.0 this is optional and the |
|
[LINGUAS](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/po_002fLINGUAS.html) |
|
file is read. |
|
* `preset`: (*Added 0.37.0*) name of a preset list of arguments, |
|
current option is `'glib'`, see |
|
[source](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/mesonbuild/modules/i18n.py) |
|
for for their value |
|
* `install`: (*Added 0.43.0*) if false, do not install the built translations. |
|
* `install_dir`: (*Added 0.50.0*) override default install location, default is `localedir` |
|
|
|
This function also defines targets for maintainers to use: |
|
**Note**: These output to the source directory |
|
|
|
* `<project_id>-pot`: runs `xgettext` to regenerate the pot file |
|
* `<project_id>-update-po`: regenerates the `.po` files from current `.pot` file |
|
* `<project_id>-gmo`: builds the translations without installing |
|
|
|
(*since 0.60.0*) Returns a list containing: |
|
* a list of built `.mo` files |
|
* the maintainer `-pot` target |
|
* the maintainer `-update-po` target |
|
|
|
### i18n.merge_file() |
|
|
|
This merges translations into a text file using `msgfmt`. See |
|
[[@custom_tgt]] |
|
for normal keywords. In addition it accepts these keywords: |
|
|
|
* `data_dirs`: (*Added 0.41.0*) list of directories for its files (See |
|
also `i18n.gettext()`) |
|
* `po_dir`: directory containing translations, relative to current directory |
|
* `type`: type of file, valid options are `'xml'` (default) and `'desktop'` |
|
* `args`: (*Added 0.51.0*) list of extra arguments to pass to `msgfmt` |
|
|
|
*Added 0.37.0* |
|
|
|
### i18n.itstool_join() |
|
|
|
This joins translations into a XML file using `itstool`. See |
|
[[@custom_tgt]] |
|
for normal keywords. In addition it accepts these keywords: |
|
|
|
* `its_files`: filenames of ITS files that should be used explicitly |
|
(XML translation rules are autodetected otherwise). |
|
* `mo_targets` *required*: mo file generation targets as returned by `i18n.gettext()`. |
|
|
|
*Added 0.62.0*
