grunt-gettext-markdown

A Grunt task to deal with the gettext format file and the markdown document

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide.

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

npm install grunt-gettext-markdown --save-dev

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-gettext-markdown');

If the plugin has been installed correctly, running grunt --help at the command line should list the newly-installed plugin's task or tasks. In addition, the plugin should be listed in package.json as a devDependency, which ensures that it will be installed whenever the npm install command is run.

The "gettext-markdown" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named gettext-markdown to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  'gettext-markdown': {
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Targets

This plugin behaves differently against the target. the available target is:

md2pot

This target will generates a POT file against the markdown documents.

po2md

This target will generates a localized markdown documents against PO files. if containing non-translated entries, the original strings will be simply used.

Options

options.srcddir

Type: String Default value: undefined

Only take effects on po2md target. the place to the source directory of the original markdown. if not specified, the full path of the reference comment in PO will be used.

options.validate

Type: Boolean Default value: undefined

Only take effects on 'po2md' target. try to validate if the po2md functionality will generate the markdown that has the same structure, before writing the localized markdown. This will takes some extra cost at the runtime but would be safe to write the correct data.

options.base_path

Type: String Default value: undefined

Only take effects on po2md target. the base_path will be suppressed from path parameter.

Usage Examples

Generating POT file from markdown

In this example, all of strings as a value in 'test/fixtures/*.md' will be put into 'test/fixtures/po/test.pot' as msgids.

grunt.initConfig({
  'gettext-markdown': {
    md2pot: {
      files: [
        {src: 'test/fixtures/*.md', dest: 'test/fixtures/po/test.pot'}
      ]
    }
  },
})

Generating localized markdown from POs

In this example, translated entries in test/fixtures/po/*.po will replaces the original one and stored as test/fixtures/lang/__name__.md.__lang__. if srcdir as options is specified, it will be refered no matter what POs has as a reference. __name__ in dest will be replaced to the original basename. __lang__ will be the language in PO.

grunt.initConfig({
  'gettext-markdown': {
    po2md: {
      options: {
        srcdir: 'test/fixtures'
      },
      files: [
        {src: 'test/fixtures/po/*.po', dest: 'test/fixtures/lang/__name__.md.__lang__'}
      ]
    }
  },
})
