DESCRIPTION

The module Locale::gettext_pp is the low-level interface to message translation according to the Uniforum approach that is for example used in GNU gettext and Sun's Solaris.

Normally you should not use this module directly, but the high level interface Locale::TextDomain(3) that provides a much simpler interface. This description is therefore deliberately kept brief. Please refer to the GNU gettext documentation available at <http://www.gnu.org/manual/gettext/> for in-depth and background information on the topic.

FUNCTIONS

The module exports by default nothing. Every function has to be imported explicitely or via an export tag ("EXPORT TAGS").

gettext MSGID: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dcgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, CATEGORY: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
ngettext MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dcngettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT, CATEGORY: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
pgettext MSGCTXT, MSGID: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dcpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID, CATEGORY: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
npgettext MSGCTXT, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dnpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.
dcnpgettext TEXTDOMAIN, MSGCTXT, MSGID, MSGID_PLURAL, COUNT, CATEGORY: See "FUNCTIONS" in Locale::Messages.

CONSTANTS

You can (maybe) get the same constants from POSIX(3); see there for a detailed description

LC_CTYPE
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
LC_COLLATE
LC_MONETARY
LC_MESSAGES
LC_ALL: See "CONSTANTS" in Locale::Messages for more information.

This module does not export anything unless explicitely requested. You can import groups of functions via two tags:

use Locale::gettext_pp qw(':locale_h'): Imports the functions that are normally defined in the C include file locale.h:

gettext()
dgettext()
dcgettext()
ngettext()
dngettext()
dcngettext()
pgettext(): Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17.
dpgettext(): Introduced with libintl-perl 1.17.
