Name

       Dist::Zilla::App::Command::msg_compile - Compile language translation files

Synopsis

       In dist.ini:

         [LocaleTextDomain]
         textdomain = My-App
         lang_dir = po

       On the command line:

         dzil msg-compile po/fr.po

Description

       This command compiles one or more GNU gettext <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>-style language
       catalogs into a directory in your distribution. The idea is to be able to easily compile a catalog while
       working on it, to see how it works, without having to compile the entire distribution. It can either
       compile the specified translation files, or will scan the language directory to compile all the
       translation files in the distribution. It relies on the settings from the "LocaleTextDomain" plugin for
       its settings, and requires that the GNU gettext utilities be available.

   Options
       "-d"

       "--dest-dir"

       Destination directory for the compiled catalogs. The compiled language files will be stored in this
       directory as LocaleData/$language/LC_MESSAGES/$textdomain.mo. As long as the specified directory is in
       Perl's @INC, Locale::TextDomain should be able to find them there. Defaults to the current directory.

       "--msgfmt"

       The location of the "msgfmt" program, which is distributed with GNU gettext
       <http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/>. Defaults to just "msgfmt" (or "msgfmt.exe" on Windows), which
       should work if it's in your path.
