NAME

       Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact - use translations from a POT file

INHERITANCE

        Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact
          is a Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

SYNOPSIS

        # using a PO table efficiently
        my $pot = Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact
                    ->read('po/nl.po', charset => 'utf-8')
           or die;

        my $header = $pot->msgid('');
        print $pot->msgstr('msgid', 3);

DESCRIPTION

       This module is translating, based on PO files. PO files are used to store translations in
       humanly readable format for most of existing translation frameworks, like GNU gettext and
       Perl's Maketext.

       Internally, this module tries to be as efficient as possible: high speed and low memory
       foot-print.  You will not be able to sub-class this class cleanly.

       If you like to change the content of PO files, then use Log::Report::Lexicon::POT.

       See documentation in the base class.

METHODS

       See documentation in the base class.

   Constructors
       See documentation in the base class.

       Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact->new(OPTIONS)
           See "Constructors" in Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

       Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact->read(FILENAME, OPTIONS)
           Read the POT table information from FILENAME, as compact as possible.  Comments,
           plural-form, and such are lost on purpose: they are not needed for translations.

            -Option --Default
             charset  <required>

           charset => STRING
             The character-set which is used for the file.  You must specify this explicitly,
             while it cannot be trustfully detected automatically.

   Attributes
       See documentation in the base class.

       $obj->filename()
           Returns the name of the source file for this data.

       $obj->index()
           Returns a HASH of all defined PO objects, organized by msgid.  Please try to avoid
           using this: use msgid() for lookup.

   Managing PO's
       See documentation in the base class.

       Translation

       See documentation in the base class.

       $obj->msgid(STRING)
           Lookup the translations with the STRING.  Returns a SCALAR, when only one translation
           is known, and an ARRAY wherein there are multiple.  Returns "undef" when the
           translation is not defined.

       $obj->msgstr(MSGID, [COUNT])
           Returns the translated string for MSGID.  When not specified, COUNT is 1 (the single
           form).

       Administration

       See documentation in the base class.

       $obj->add(PO)
           See "Administration" in Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

       $obj->header(FIELD)
           See "Administration" in Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

       $obj->nrPlurals()
           See "Administration" in Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

       $obj->pluralIndex(COUNT)
           See "Administration" in Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

       $obj->setupPluralAlgorithm()
           See "Administration" in Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

       $obj->translations([ACTIVE])
           See "Administration" in Log::Report::Lexicon::Table

DIAGNOSTICS

       Error: only acceptable parameter is 'ACTIVE'
