The number of plural forms of this language.

0 is not a valid value - it must be overridden. Any positive integer is valid (it should probably be between 1 and 6)

translate.lang.data

classmethod numbertranslate(text)

Converts the numbers in a string according to the rules of the language.

numbertuple = ()

A tuple of number transformation rules that can be used by numbertranslate().

classmethod numstart(text)

Determines whether the text starts with a numeric value.

pluralequation = '0'

The plural equation for selection of plural forms.

This is used for PO files to fill into the header.

puncdict = {}

A dictionary of punctuation transformation rules that can be used by punctranslate().

classmethod punctranslate(text)

Converts the punctuation in a string according to the rules of the language.

punctuation = '.,;:!?-@#$%^*_()[]{}/\\\'`"<>‘’‛“”„‟′″‴‵‶‷‹›«»¿¡،؟؛÷。、，；！？「」『』【】।॥॰።፤፣…±°¹²³·©®×£¥€'

We include many types of punctuation here, simply since this is only meant to determine if something is punctuation. Hopefully we catch some languages which might not be represented with modules. Most languages won’t need to override this.

quotes = '‘’‛“”„‟′″‴‵‶‷‹›«»'

These are different quotation marks used by various languages.

rtlpunc = '،؟؛÷'

These punctuation marks are used by Arabic and Persian, for example.

classmethod sentence_iter(text, strip=True)

Returns an iterator over the sentences in text.

sentenceend = '.!?…։؟।。！？።۔'

These marks can indicate a sentence end. Once again we try to account for many languages. Most langauges won’t need to override this.

classmethod sentences(text, strip=True)

Returns a list of sentences in text.

specialchars = ''

Characters used by the language that might not be easy to input with common keyboard layouts

validaccel = None

Characters that can be used as accelerators (access keys) i.e. Alt+X where X is the accelerator. These can include combining diacritics as long as they are accessible from the users keyboard in a single keystroke, but normally they would be at least precomposed characters. All characters, lower and upper, are included in the list.

validdoublewords = []

Some languages allow double words in certain cases. This is a dictionary of such words.

classmethod word_iter(text)

Returns an iterator over the words in text.

classmethod words(text)

Returns a list of words in text.

Dictionary of tests to ignore in some or all checkers.

Keys are checker names and values are list of names for the ignored tests in the checker. A special ‘all’ checker name can be used to tell that the tests must be ignored in all the checkers.

Listed checkers to ignore tests on must be lowercase strings for the checker name, for example “mozilla” for MozillaChecker or “libreoffice” for LibreOfficeChecker.

indicpunc = '।॥॰'

These punctuation marks are used by several Indic languages.

invertedpunc = '¿¡'

Inverted punctuation sometimes used at the beginning of sentences in Spanish, Asturian, Galician, and Catalan.

classmethod length_difference(length)

Returns an estimate to a likely change in length relative to an English string of length length.

listseperator = ', '

This string is used to separate lists of textual elements. Most languages probably can stick with the default comma, but Arabic and some Asian languages might want to override this.

miscpunc = '…±°¹²³·©®×£¥€'

The middle dot (·) is used by Greek and Georgian.

mozilla_pluralequation = '0'

This of languages that has different plural formula in Mozilla than the standard one in Gettext.

nplurals = 0

The number of plural forms of this language.

0 is not a valid value - it must be overridden. Any positive integer is valid (it should probably be between 1 and 6)

poedit

Functions to manage Poedit’s language features.

Note

The ISO 639 maps are from Poedit’s isocode.cpp (v1.4.2) to ensure that we match currently released versions of Poedit.

translate.lang.poedit.dialects = {'Chinese': {'CHINA': 'zh_CN', 'None': 'zh_CN', 'TAIWAN': 'zh_TW'}, 'English': {'None': 'en', 'SOUTH AFRICA': 'en_ZA', 'UNITED KINGDOM': 'en_GB'}, 'Portuguese': {'BRAZIL': 'pt_BR', 'None': 'pt', 'PORTUGAL': 'pt'}}

Language dialects based on ISO 3166 country names, ‘None’ is the default fallback

translate.lang.poedit.isocode(language, country=None)

Returns a language code for the given Poedit language name.

Poedit uses language and country names in the PO header entries:

  • X-Poedit-Language

  • X-Poedit-Country

This function converts the supplied language name into the required ISO 639 code. If needed, in the case of dialects, the country name is used to create an xx_YY style dialect code.

Parameters:

  • language (String) – Language name

  • country (String) – Country name

Returns:

ISO 639 language code

Return type:

String

Dialect codes should have the form of:

ignoretests = {'all': ['simplecaps', 'startcaps']}

Dictionary of tests to ignore in some or all checkers.

Keys are checker names and values are list of names for the ignored tests in the checker. A special ‘all’ checker name can be used to tell that the tests must be ignored in all the checkers.

Listed checkers to ignore tests on must be lowercase strings for the checker name, for example “mozilla” for MozillaChecker or “libreoffice” for LibreOfficeChecker.

indicpunc = '।॥॰'

These punctuation marks are used by several Indic languages.

invertedpunc = '¿¡'

Inverted punctuation sometimes used at the beginning of sentences in Spanish, Asturian, Galician, and Catalan.

classmethod length_difference(length)

Returns an estimate to a likely change in length relative to an English string of length length.

listseperator = ', '

This string is used to separate lists of textual elements. Most languages probably can stick with the default comma, but Arabic and some Asian languages might want to override this.

miscpunc = '…±°¹²³·©®×£¥€'

The middle dot (·) is used by Greek and Georgian.

mozilla_pluralequation = '0'

This of languages that has different plural formula in Mozilla than the standard one in Gettext.

nplurals = 0

The number of plural forms of this language.

0 is not a valid value - it must be overridden. Any positive integer is valid (it should probably be between 1 and 6)

translate.lang.data

classmethod numbertranslate(text)

numbertuple = ()

A tuple of number transformation rules that can be used by numbertranslate().

Dialect codes should have the form of:

ignoretests = {'all': ['simplecaps', 'startcaps']}

Dictionary of tests to ignore in some or all checkers.

Keys are checker names and values are list of names for the ignored tests in the checker. A special ‘all’ checker name can be used to tell that the tests must be ignored in all the checkers.

Listed checkers to ignore tests on must be lowercase strings for the checker name, for example “mozilla” for MozillaChecker or “libreoffice” for LibreOfficeChecker.
