PoToJson

Convert gettext PO files to JSON to use in your javascript app, based on po2json.pl by DuckDuckGo, Inc.. Ideally you'll use this on a Rake task that creates JSON versions of your PO files, which can later be used from javascript with Jed

Versions

This gem is tested on the following versions automated through TravisCI:

• Ruby
  • 1.9.3
  • 2.0.0
  • 2.1.0
• Json
  • 1.6.8
  • 1.7.7
  • 1.8.2

Installation

gem "po_to_json", "~> 0.1.0"

Usage

Most common use would be to generate a Jed ready javascript file. For example, in a Rails project:

require "po_to_json"

json = PoToJson.new(
  Rails.root.join("locale", "de", "app.po")
).generate_for_jed("de")

Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "javascripts", "locale", "de", "app.js").write(json)

If you need a pretty json, add pretty: true to generate_for_jed, like the following example:

require "po_to_json"

json = PoToJson.new(
  Rails.root.join("locale", "de", "app.po")
).generate_for_jed("de", pretty: true)

Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "javascripts", "locale", "de", "app.js").write(json)

The javascript file generated has a global "locales" object with an attribute corresponding to the generated language:

i18n = new Jed(locales["de"])
i18n.gettext("Hello World") // Should evaluate to "Hallo Welt"
