//! This crate contains functions to parse PO files (gettext message catalogs) and use them in Rust.
//!
//! # Main usage
//!
//! The recommended use is to use it to build a Rust module with the translations.
//!
//! First build your PO files into the `locales` directory, in the root of your project.
//!
//! Then this the crate as a `[build-dependencies]` and `tr` as a normal one: in your `Cargo.toml`:
//! ```
//! [dev-dependencies]
//! include-po = "0.1"
//!
//! [dependencies]
//! tr = { version = "0.1.10", default-features = false }
//! ```
//! Write a `build.rs` script:
//! ```
//! fn main() {
//!     let output_dir = std::env::var("OUT_DIR").unwrap();
//!     let out = std::path::PathBuf::from(&output_dir).join("locale/translators.rs");
//!     include_po::generate_locales_from_dir("locales", out).unwrap();
//! }
//! ```
//! And finally in your `main.rs` or `lib.rs`:
//! ```
//! include!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/locale/translators.rs"));
//! ```
//! That's it! Now you can call `translators::set_locale("es");` to switch to Spanish!
//!
//! If you are writing a lib crate, as a convention you should have a public function in the root namespace:
//! ```
//! fn set_locale(locale: &str) {
//!     translators::set_locale(locale);
//! }
//! ```
//! This way you can chain the locale of multiple translatable libraries.
//!
//! # Other functions
//!
//! If you prefer to do the translations yourself, you can also use this crate to parse the PO file and obtain
//! the messages. But note that currently the messages will be unescaped, that is a '"' will be a '\n' and so on.
//!
//! # Why PO instead of MO?
//!
//! Most solutions based on gettext read the message catalog from the MO file, instead of the PO. A MO file is a
//! compiled message catalog. The reason original gettext uses MO files is to optimize start-up time: when the
//! `gettext` library wants to use a MO, it just locates the file, opens it and memory-maps it. It does very little
//! parse, because everything is designed to be used from that memory map. It even contains a precomputed hash table!
//!
//! In Rust, I see little reason to distribute MO files separated from the executable. Some people try to use `include_bytes!`
//! and then parse the binary data into a `BTreeMap`... but that defeats the purpose of the MO existence in the first place.
//!
//! If you are going to embed the message catalog into the executable you may as well go all the way and include it as code:
//! once again the catalog is memory mapped (as it is most executable code) and with zero parsing at runtime. But if you are
//! going to parse the catalog and convert it to Rust at build time, why read the MO and not the PO that is simpler and saves
//! a compiler step?
//!
//! But what about the hash table? you are probably asking... Well, currently this crate is building a giant `match string`
//! for each source PO file. This seems to be good enough, but if needed we can transparently upgrade it to a cleverer algoritm.
//! My hope is that the code generated by the compiler will get better faster than the needs of this crate.
