Public Instance Methods

load (locale_directory)

Source

# File lib/rdoc/i18n/locale.rb, line 63
def load(locale_directory)
  return false if @name.nil?

  po_file_candidates = [
    File.join(locale_directory, @name, 'rdoc.po'),
    File.join(locale_directory, "#{@name}.po"),
  ]
  po_file = po_file_candidates.find do |po_file_candidate|
    File.exist?(po_file_candidate)
  end
  return false unless po_file

  begin
    require 'gettext/po_parser'
    require 'gettext/mo'
  rescue LoadError
    warn('Need gettext gem for i18n feature:')
    warn('  gem install gettext')
    return false
  end

  po_parser = GetText::POParser.new
  messages = GetText::MO.new
  po_parser.report_warning = false
  po_parser.parse_file(po_file, messages)

  @messages.merge!(messages)

  true
end

Loads translation messages from locale_directory/+@name+/rdoc.po or locale_directory/+@name+.po. The former has high priority.

This method requires gettext gem for parsing .po file. If you don’t have gettext gem, this method doesn’t load .po file. This method warns and returns false.

Returns true if succeeded, false otherwise.

translate (message)

Source

# File lib/rdoc/i18n/locale.rb, line 98
def translate(message)
  @messages[message] || message
end

Translates the message into locale. If there is no translation messages for message in locale, message itself is returned.
