To convert a PO file to a ResourceBundle, the +`msgfmt' program can be used with the option `--java' or `--java2'. To +convert a ResourceBundle back to a PO file, the `msgunfmt' program can +be used with the option `--java'. + + Two different programmatic APIs can be used to access +ResourceBundles. Note that both APIs work with all kinds of +ResourceBundles, whether GNU gettext generated classes, or other +`.class' or `.properties' files. + + 1. The `java.util.ResourceBundle' API. + + In particular, its `getString' function returns a string + translation. Note that a missing translation yields a + `MissingResourceException'. + + This has the advantage of being the standard API. And it does not + require any additional libraries, only the `msgfmt' generated + `.class' files. But it cannot do plural handling, even if the + resource was generated from a PO file with plural handling. + + 2. The `gnu.gettext.GettextResource' API. + + Reference documentation in Javadoc 1.1 style format is in the + javadoc1 directory (javadoc1/tree.html) and in Javadoc 2 style + format in the javadoc2 directory (javadoc2/index.html). + + Its `gettext' function returns a string translation. Note that when + a translation is missing, the MSGID argument is returned unchanged. + + This has the advantage of having the `ngettext' function for plural + handling. + + To use this API, one needs the `libintl.jar' file which is part of + the GNU gettext package and distributed under the LGPL. + + +File: gettext.info, Node: gawk, Next: Pascal, Prev: Java, Up: List of Programming Languages + +GNU awk +------- + +RPMs + gawk 3.1 or newer + +File extension + `awk' + +String syntax + `"abc"' + +gettext shorthand + `_"abc"' + +gettext/ngettext functions + `dcgettext' + +textdomain + `TEXTDOMAIN' variable + +bindtextdomain + `bindtextdomain' function + +setlocale + automatic, but missing `setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, "")' in gawk-3.1.0 + +Prerequisite + -- + +Use or emulate GNU gettext + use + +Extractor + `gawk --gen-po' + +Formatting with positions + `printf "%2$d %1$d"' (GNU awk only) + +Portability + On platforms without gettext, no translation.

And even then, when the work started for real, this was +somewhat independently of these previous discussions. + + This all began in July 1994, when Patrick D'Cruze had the idea and +initiative of internationalizing version 3.9.2 of GNU `fileutils'. He +then asked Jim Meyering, the maintainer, how to get those changes +folded into an official release. That first draft was full of +`#ifdef's and somewhat disconcerting, and Jim wanted to find nicer +ways. Patrick and Jim shared some tries and experimentations in this +area. Then, feeling that this might eventually have a deeper impact on +GNU, Jim wanted to know what standards were, and contacted Richard +Stallman, who very quickly and verbally described an overall design for +what was meant to become `glocale', at that time. + + Jim implemented `glocale' and got a lot of exhausting feedback from +Patrick and Richard, of course, but also from Mitchum DSouza (who wrote +a `catgets'-like package), Roland McGrath, maybe David MacKenzie, +Franc,ois Pinard, and Paul Eggert, all pushing and pulling in various +directions, not always compatible, to the extent that after a couple of +test releases, `glocale' was torn apart. + + While Jim took some distance and time and became dad for a second +time, Roland wanted to get GNU `libc' internationalized, and got Ulrich +Drepper involved in that project. Instead of starting from `glocale', +Ulrich rewrote something from scratch, but more conformant to the set +of guidelines who emerged out of the `glocale' effort. Then, Ulrich +got people from the previous forum to involve themselves into this new +project, and the switch from `glocale' to what was first named +`msgutils', renamed `nlsutils', and later `gettext', became officially +accepted by Richard in May 1995 or so. + + Let's summarize by saying that Ulrich Drepper wrote GNU `gettext' in +April 1995. The first official release of the package, including PO +mode, occurred in July 1995, and was numbered 0.7. Other people +contributed to the effort by providing a discussion forum around +Ulrich, writing little pieces of code, or testing. These are quoted in +the `THANKS' file which comes with the GNU `gettext' distribution. + + While this was being done, Franc,ois adapted half a dozen of GNU +packages to `glocale' first, then later to `gettext', putting them in +pretest, so providing along the way an effective user environment for +fine tuning the evolving tools. He also took the responsibility of +organizing and coordinating the Translation Project. After nearly a +year of informal exchanges between people from many countries, +translator teams started to exist in May 1995, through the creation and +support by Patrick D'Cruze of twenty unmoderated mailing lists for that +many native languages, and two moderated lists: one for reaching all +teams at once, the other for reaching all willing maintainers of +internationalized free software packages. + + Franc,ois also wrote PO mode in June 1995 with the collaboration of +Greg McGary, as a kind of contribution to Ulrich's package. He also +gave a hand with the GNU `gettext' Texinfo manual. + + In 1997, Ulrich Drepper released the GNU libc 2.0, which included the +`gettext', `textdomain' and `bindtextdomain' functions. + + In 2000, Ulrich Drepper added plural form handling (the `ngettext' +function) to GNU libc. Later, in 2001, he released GNU libc 2.2.x, +which is the first free C library with full internationalization +support. + + Ulrich being quite busy in his role of General Maintainer of GNU +libc, he handed over the GNU `gettext' maintenance to Bruno Haible in +2000. Bruno added the plural form handling to the tools as well, added +support for UTF-8 and CJK locales, and wrote a few new tools for +manipulating PO files. + + +File: gettext.info, Node: References, Prev: History, Up: Conclusion + +Related Readings +================ + + Eugene H. Dorr (`dorre@well.com') maintains an interesting +bibliography on internationalization matters, called +`Internationalization Reference List', which is available as: + ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/examples/nutshell/ujip/doc/i18n-books.txt + + Michael Gschwind (`mike@vlsivie.tuwien.ac.at') maintains a +Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list, entitled `Programming for +Internationalisation'.
