pobuilder 0.1.0

Build or modify translation catalogs in PO format.
Documentation
//! Translation catalogues are key part of any localization infrastructure. They contain the lists
//! of messages from the application, possibly disambiguated with identifiers or contexts, and
//! corresponding translations.
//!
//! Catalogs are usually stored in one of two formats: [Portable Objects (`.po`)][PO], used
//! primarily by [GNU gettext][gettext], and [XML Localisation Interchange File Format
//! (XLIFF)][XLIFF], a more generic OASIS open standard.
//!
//! These formats can be converted to each other, and to and from many others, using
//! [translate-toolkit][tt].
//!
//! [XLIFF] is quite flexible and can be used in different ways, but this library focuses
//! primarily on using it in a way [gettext] and [translate-toolkit][tt] work, namely with separate
//! catalogue for each language.
//!
//! Example:
//! ```rust
//! use pobuilder::PoParser;
//!
//! use std::{env::args, fs::File, io::Result};
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
//!     // Filename
//!     let filename = match args().skip(1).next() {
//!         Some(v) => v,
//!         None => {
//!             eprintln!("No file specified");
//!
//!             return Ok(());
//!         }
//!     };
//!
//!     // Open a file
//!     let file = File::open(filename)?;
//!
//!     // Create PO parser
//!     let builder = PoParser::new();
//!
//!     // Parse the file
//!     let pofile = builder.parse(file)?;
//!
//!     // Read PO file by iterating on units
//!     for unit in pofile {
//!         let unit = unit?;
//!
//!         // Show `msgid`
//!         println!(" - {}", unit.message().get_id())
//!     }
//!
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
