2
3This module provides internationalization (I18N) and localization (L10N)
4support for your Python programs by providing an interface to the GNU gettext
5message catalog library.
6
7I18N refers to the operation by which a program is made aware of multiple
8languages. L10N refers to the adaptation of your program, once

Barry Warsawfa488ec2000-08-25 20:26:43 +000013# This module represents the integration of work, contributions, feedback, and
14# suggestions from the following people:
Barry Warsaw95be23d2000-08-25 19:13:37 +000015#
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.
19#
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.
23#
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
27# a Python API.
28#
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.
Barry Warsaw33d8d702000-08-30 03:29:58 +000031#
32# Francois Pinard and Marc-Andre Lemburg also contributed valuably to this
33# module.
34#
Martin v. Löwisa57dccd2003-03-10 16:01:43 +000035# J. David Ibanez implemented plural forms. Bruno Haible fixed some bugs.
Martin v. Löwisd8996052002-11-21 21:45:32 +000036#
Barry Warsaw33d8d702000-08-30 03:29:58 +000037# TODO:
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.
44#
45# - Support Solaris .mo file formats. Unfortunately, we've been unable to
46# find this format documented anywhere.
