Dpkg::Gettext - phpMan

NAME
    Dpkg::Gettext - convenience wrapper around Locale::gettext

DESCRIPTION
    The Dpkg::Gettext module is a convenience wrapper over the
    Locale::gettext module, to guarantee we always have working gettext
    functions, and to add some commonly used aliases.

ENVIRONMENT
    DPKG_NLS
        When set to 0, this environment variable will disable the National
        Language Support in all Dpkg modules.

VARIABLES
    $Dpkg::Gettext::DEFAULT_TEXT_DOMAIN
        Specifies the default text domain name to be used with the short
        function aliases. This is intended to be used by the Dpkg modules,
        so that they can produce localized messages even when the calling
        program has set the current domain with textdomain(). If you would
        like to use the aliases for your own modules, you might want to set
        this variable to undef, or to another domain, but then the Dpkg
        modules will not produce localized messages.

FUNCTIONS
    $domain = textdomain($new_domain)
        Compatibility textdomain() fallback when Locale::gettext is not
        available.

        If $new_domain is not undef, it will set the current domain to
        $new_domain. Returns the current domain, after possibly changing it.

    $trans = ngettext($msgid, $msgid_plural, $n)
        Compatibility ngettext() fallback when Locale::gettext is not
        available.

        Returns $msgid if $n is 1 or $msgid_plural otherwise.

    $trans = g_($msgid)
        Calls dgettext() on the $msgid and returns its translation for the
        current locale. If dgettext() is not available, simply returns
        $msgid.

    $trans = C_($msgctxt, $msgid)
        Calls dgettext() on the $msgid and returns its translation for the
        specific $msgctxt supplied. If dgettext() is not available, simply
        returns $msgid.

    $trans = P_($msgid, $msgid_plural, $n)
        Calls dngettext(), returning the correct translation for the plural
        form dependent on $n. If dngettext() is not available, returns
        $msgid if $n is 1 or $msgid_plural otherwise.

    $msgid = N_($msgid)
        A pseudo function that servers as a marked for automated extraction
        of messages, but does not call gettext(). The run-time translation
        is done at a different place in the code.
