NAME Locale::Maketext::Test VERSION Version 0.02 SYNOPSIS use Locale::Maketext::Test; my $foo = Locale::Maketext::Test->new(directory => '/tmp/locales'); # it will look of files like id.po, ru.po ### optional parameters # languages => ['en', 'de'] - to test specific languages in directory, else it will pick all po files in directory ideally these languages should be as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes format # debug => 1 - if you want to check warnings add debug flag else it will output errors only # auto => 1 set only when you want to fallback in case a key is missing from lexicons # start test my $response = $foo->testlocales(); # no errors or warnings if $response->{status} eq 1; # something is wrong when $response->{status} eq 0; # check for errors and warnings in case status is 0 $response->{errors} = {id => [error1, error2], ru => [error1, error2]}; # warnings are only present when debug is set to 1 $response->{warnings} = {id => [warn1, warn2], ru => [warn1, warn2]}; DESCRIPTION This reads all message ids from the specified PO files and tries to translate them into the destination language. PO files can be specified either as file name (extension .po) or by providing the language. In the latter case the PO file is found in the directory given by the directory option. TYPES OF ERRORS FOUND unknown %func() calls Translations can contain function calls in the form of %func(parameters). These functions must be defined in our code. Sometimes translators try to translate the function name which then calls an undefined function. incorrect number of %plural() parameters Different languages have different numbers of plural forms. Some, like Malay, don't have any plural forms. Some, like English or French, have just 2 forms, singular and one plural. Others like Arabic or Russian have more forms. Whenever a translator uses the %plural() function, he must specify the correct number of plural forms as parameters. incorrect usage of %d in %plural() parameters In some languages, like English or German, singular is applicable only to the quantity of 1. That means the German translator could come up for instance with the following valid %plural call: %plural(%5,ein Stein,%d Steine) In other languages, like French or Russian, this would be an error. French uses singular also for 0 quantities. So, if the French translator calls: %plural(%5,une porte,%d portes) and in the actual call the quantity of 0 is passed the output is still "une porte". In Russian the problem is even more critical because singular is used for instance also for the quantity of 121. Thus, this test checks if a) the target language is similar to English in having only 2 plural forms, singular and one plural, and in applying singular only to the quantity of 1. If both of these conditions are met %plural calls like the above are allowed. Otherwise, if at least one of the parameters passed to %plural contains a %d, all of the parameters must contain the %d as well. That means the following 2 %plural calls are allowed in Russian: %plural(%3,%d XXXXX,%d XXXXX,%d XXXX) %3 %plural(%3,XXXXX,XXXXX,XXXX) while this is forbidden: %plural(%3,XXXX XXXXX,%d XXXXX,%d XXXX) SUBROUTINES/METHODS debug set this if you need to check warnings along with errors directory directory where locales files are located languages language array, set this if you want to test specific language only auto flag to fallback when a key is missing from lexicons # if this is not set then maketext will output errors if # translations is marked as fuzzy or is missing # read more about it here https://metacpan.org/pod/Locale::Maketext::Lexicon Locale::Maketext::Lexicon->import({ _auto => 1 }) BUILD testlocales test po files in directory specified This returns hash with status, errors and warnings { status => 1/0, # 1 is success, 0 failure errros => [errro1, errro2], warnings => [warn1, warn2] } INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install AUTHOR Binary.com, "" BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-locale-maketext-test at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at .
