65 =head1 NAME
67 Git::I18N - Perl interface to Git's Gettext localizations
69 =head1 SYNOPSIS
71 use Git::I18N;
73 print __("Welcome to Git!\n");
75 printf __("The following error occurred: %s\n"), $error;
77 printf __n("committed %d file\n", "committed %d files\n", $files), $files;
80 =head1 DESCRIPTION
82 Git's internal Perl interface to gettext via L<Locale::Messages>. If
83 L<Locale::Messages> can't be loaded (it's not a core module) we
84 provide stub passthrough fallbacks.
86 This is a distilled interface to gettext, see C<info '(gettext)Perl'>
87 for the full interface. This module implements only a small part of
88 it.
90 =head1 FUNCTIONS
92 =head2 __($)
94 L<Locale::Messages>'s gettext function if all goes well, otherwise our
95 passthrough fallback function.
97 =head2 __n($$$)
99 L<Locale::Messages>'s ngettext function or passthrough fallback function.
101 =head2 N__($)
103 No-operation that only returns its argument. Use this if you want xgettext to
104 extract the text to the pot template but do not want to trigger retrival of the
105 translation at run time.
