# App::I18N

## Description

App::I18N borrows some good stuff from Jifty::I18N and tries to provide a general
po management script for all frameworks | applications. 

## Basic flow

### Basic po file manipulation:

parse strings from `lib` path:

    $ cd app
    $ po parse lib

this will generate:

    po/app.pot

please modify the CHARSET in po/app.pot.

    ... modify CHARSET ...

create new language file (po file):

    po lang en
    po lang fr
    po lang ja
    po lang zh_TW

this generates:

    po/en.po
    po/fr.po
    po/ja.po
    po/zh_TW.po

    ... do translation here

when you added more message in your application. you might need to update po
messages, but you dont have to delete/recreate these po files, you can just parse your messages again
all of your translations will be kept. eg:

    $ po parse lib

    ... do translation again ...

### Generate locale and mo file for php-gettext or anyother gettext i18n app:

parse strings from `.` path and use --locale (locale directory structure):

    $ cd app
    $ po parse --locale .

this will generate:
    
    po/app.pot

please modify the CHARSET in po/app.pot.

    ... modify CHARSET ...

create new language file (po file and mo file) in locale directory structure:

    $ po lang  --locale en
