./pgtupdate <.po file> <function name> [<file1> [<file2> ... ]]
    <.po file>        The .po file which should be updated 
    <function name>   gettext or the wrapper for dgettext (e.g. pgt)

Example:

./pgtupdate po/de.po pgt *.pas

pgtspell

Spell checks and corrects a .po file. Misspelled msgid's are replaced in the sources if possible. Therefore the line numbers should be up to date. (Run pgtupdate in necessary)
Usage:

./pgtspell <.po file> <msgstr check> [<msgid check>]
    <msgstr check>   Spell check command for msgstr's ("" for no spell check)
    <msgid check>    Spell check command for msgid's ("" for no spell check)

Example:

./pgtspell pd/de.po "aspell -d de -c" "aspell -d en -c"

pgtsrcspell

Spell checks msgid's in source code.
Usage:

./pgtsrcspell <function name> <check command> [<file1> [<file2> ... ]]
    <function name>   gettext or the wrapper for dgettext (e.g. pgt)
    <check command>   Spell check command for occurrences

Example:

./pgtsrcspell pgt "aspell -d en -c" *.pas

Installation

make
make install

The first command builds the package, the second installs it. The default unit directory is /usr/local/lib/fpc/pgettext. Edit the makefile to change the installation directories.

Usage

The suggested usage is:

Make the unit pintl available for your program.
Insert this into your source:
uses pintl;
Insert
pbindtextdomain(your_package_name, your_localedir);
into the initialization part of your program, where your_package is the base name of your .po file (e.g. 'pgettext') and your_localedir is the directory where the .mo file can be found (e.g. '/usr/local/share/locale' or dirname(paramstr(0))+'/po').

Define a wrapper function like this:

function mygt(const msgid:ansistring):ansistring;
begin
mygt:=pdgettext(your_package_name,msgid);
end;

Put the strings, that should be translated, into the wrapper function, e.g.
writeln('Translate me'); --> writeln(mygt('Translate me'));
Create the .po file (e.g. with pgtupdate, see below)

Build the .mo file from the po file, e.g:

msgfmt your_package_name.po -o your_package_name.mo

Copy the .mo into your_localedir.
