Method Details

init(self, fileobj=None, domain=`'messages'`)
(Constructor)

Initialize the translations catalog.

Parameters:

fileobj - the file-like object the translation should be read from

Overrides: object.__init__

load(cls, dirname=None, locales=None, domain=`'messages'`)
Class Method

Load translations from the given directory.

Parameters:

dirname - the directory containing the MO files
locales - the list of locales in order of preference (items in this list can be either Locale objects or locale strings)
domain - the message domain

Returns: Translations

the loaded catalog, or a NullTranslations instance if no matching translations were found

repr(self)
(Representation operator)

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__: (inherited documentation)

add(self, translations, merge=True)

Add the given translations to the catalog.

If the domain of the translations is different than that of the current catalog, they are added as a catalog that is only accessible by the various d*gettext functions.

Parameters:

translations - the Translations instance with the messages to add
merge - whether translations for message domains that have already been added should be merged with the existing translations

Returns: Translations

the Translations instance (self) so that merge calls can be easily chained

merge(self, translations)

Merge the given translations into the catalog.

Message translations in the specified catalog override any messages with the same identifier in the existing catalog.

Parameters:

translations - the Translations instance with the messages to merge

Returns: Translations

the Translations instance (self) so that merge calls can be easily chained
