- tinygettext API related stuff
- =============================
- * translate, translate_ctxt, translate_ctxt_plural, ... could be
- unified via overloading, not sure if that is a good idea. For the
- same reason add_translation() could be de-overloaded, to
- add_translation_ctxt, ...
- `Note that an empty context string and an absent msgctxt line do not mean the same thing.'
- https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html
- * iconv handling needs cleanup and more flexibility, since some
- systems don't provide iconv or only through SDL
- * Customizability could use grouping and documentation or other means
- to make it more obvious:
- - POParser::pedantic
- - iconv (???)
- - logging (log_callback(std::string))
- * handle errors better, not with log_* stream, cases of errors:
- - couldn't translate
- - collision while adding translation
- - failure to open file or directory
- - unknown language
- - iconv failure to convert charset
- * ABI management/freezing. If tinygettext is to benefit other projects,
- it should be able to provide a stable API (and, better, ABI).
- tinygettext implementation details
- ----------------------------------
- * with PluralForms moved into Dictionary a lot of the Langugae stuff
- is pointless
- * get rid of goto
- * POParser can handle Big5, but needs testing.
- Big5 is one byte for ASCII letters and two bytes for chinese ones,
- this means some two byte characters collide with '\', some .po files
- seem to escape the \ properly so that the string can be read as
- usual, while others don't.
- * _() -> getext() (gettext default)
- N_(id) -> gettext_noop(id) (gettext default)
- C_(ctxt, id) -> pgettext(ctxt, id) (Gnome does this: http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.16/glib-I18N.html#Q-:CAPS)
- NC_(ctxt, id) -> pgettext(ctxt, id) (Gnome does this: http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/2.16/glib-I18N.html#Q-:CAPS)
- Random Unimportant Stuff
- ------------------------
- * support for .gmo files would be cool
- tinygettext Documentation
- -------------------------
- * recommend a way to handle translation of speech and other data files
- * document how to use tinygettext and make it work like gettext
