| <P> |
| This class implements the main GNU libintl functions in Java. |
| <P> |
| Using the GNU gettext approach, compiled message catalogs are normal |
| Java ResourceBundle classes and are thus interoperable with standard |
| ResourceBundle based code. |
| <P> |
| The main differences between the Sun ResourceBundle approach and the |
| GNU gettext approach are: |
| <UL> |
| <LI>In the Sun approach, the keys are abstract textual shortcuts. |
| In the GNU gettext approach, the keys are the English/ASCII version |
| of the messages. |
| <LI>In the Sun approach, the translation files are called |
| "<VAR>Resource</VAR>_<VAR>locale</VAR>.properties" and have non-ASCII |
| characters encoded in the Java |
| <CODE>\</CODE><CODE>u<VAR>nnnn</VAR></CODE> syntax. Very few editors |
| can natively display international characters in this format. In the |
| GNU gettext approach, the translation files are called |
| "<VAR>Resource</VAR>.<VAR>locale</VAR>.po" |
| and are in the encoding the translator has chosen. Many editors |
| can be used. There are at least three GUI translating tools |
| (Emacs PO mode, KDE KBabel, GNOME gtranslator). |
| <LI>In the Sun approach, the function |
| <CODE>ResourceBundle.getString</CODE> throws a |
| <CODE>MissingResourceException</CODE> when no translation is found. |
| In the GNU gettext approach, the <CODE>gettext</CODE> function |
| returns the (English) message key in that case. |
| <LI>In the Sun approach, there is no support for plural handling. |
| Even the most elaborate MessageFormat strings cannot provide decent |
| plural handling. In the GNU gettext approach, we have the |
| <CODE>ngettext</CODE> function. |
| </UL> |
| <P> |
| To compile GNU gettext message catalogs into Java ResourceBundle classes, |
| the <CODE>msgfmt</CODE> program can be used. |
