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.
