NAME

       Log::Report::Lexicon::Table - generic interface to translation tables

INHERITANCE

        Log::Report::Lexicon::Table is extended by
          Log::Report::Lexicon::MOTcompact
          Log::Report::Lexicon::POT
          Log::Report::Lexicon::POTcompact

SYNOPSIS

         # use one of the extensions, for instance:
         my $pot = Log::Report::Lexicon::POT
            ->read('po/nl.po', charset => 'utf-8')
                or panic;

DESCRIPTION

       This base class defines the generic interface for translation tables.

METHODS

   Constructors
       Log::Report::Lexicon::Table->new(OPTIONS)

   Attributes
   Managing PO's
       Translation

       $obj->msgid(STRING)
           Lookup the Log::Report::Lexicon::PO with the STRING.  Returns "undef" when not
           defined.

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

       Administration

       $obj->add(PO)
           Add the information from a PO into this POT.  If the msgid of the PO is already known,
           that is an error.

       $obj->header(FIELD)
           The translation of a blank MSGID is used to store a MIME header, which contains some
           meta-data.  The FIELD value is looked-up (case-insensitive) and returned.

       $obj->nrPlurals()
           Returns the number of plurals, when not known then '2'.

       $obj->pluralIndex(COUNT)
           Returns the msgstr index used to translate a value of COUNT.

       $obj->setupPluralAlgorithm()
           This method needs to be called after setting (reading or creating) a new table header,
           to interpret the plural algorithm as specified in the "Plural-Forms" header field.

       $obj->translations([ACTIVE])
           Returns a list with all defined Log::Report::Lexicon::PO objects. When the string
           "ACTIVE" is given as parameter, only objects which have references are returned.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Error: only acceptable parameter is 'ACTIVE'
