1 """Internationalization and localization support.
3 This module provides internationalization (I18N) and localization (L10N)
4 support for your Python programs by providing an interface to the GNU gettext
5 message catalog library.
7 I18N refers to the operation by which a program is made aware of multiple
8 languages. L10N refers to the adaptation of your program, once
9 internationalized, to the local language and cultural habits.
13 # This module represents the integration of work, contributions, feedback, and
14 # suggestions from the following people:
16 # Martin von Loewis, who wrote the initial implementation of the underlying
17 # C-based libintlmodule (later renamed _gettext), along with a skeletal
18 # gettext.py implementation.
20 # Peter Funk, who wrote fintl.py, a fairly complete wrapper around intlmodule,
21 # which also included a pure-Python implementation to read .mo files if
22 # intlmodule wasn't available.
24 # James Henstridge, who also wrote a gettext.py module, which has some
25 # interesting, but currently unsupported experimental features: the notion of
26 # a Catalog class and instances, and the ability to add to a catalog file via
29 # Barry Warsaw integrated these modules, wrote the .install() API and code,
30 # and conformed all C and Python code to Python's coding standards.
32 # Francois Pinard and Marc-Andre Lemburg also contributed valuably to this
35 # J. David Ibanez implemented plural forms. Bruno Haible fixed some bugs.
38 # - Lazy loading of .mo files. Currently the entire catalog is loaded into
39 # memory, but that's probably bad for large translated programs. Instead,
40 # the lexical sort of original strings in GNU .mo files should be exploited
41 # to do binary searches and lazy initializations. Or you might want to use
42 # the undocumented double-hash algorithm for .mo files with hash tables, but
43 # you'll need to study the GNU gettext code to do this.
45 # - Support Solaris .mo file formats. Unfortunately, we've been unable to
46 # find this format documented anywhere.
