Log::Report::Lexicon::MOTcompact - use translations from an MO file
Contents
Description
This module is translating, based on MO files (binary versions of the PO files, the "Machine Object"
format)
Actually, this module is not "compact" anymore: not trading off speed for memory. That may change again
in the future.
To get a MO file, you first need a PO file. Then run msgfmt, which is part of the gnu gettext package.
msgfmt -cv -o $domain.mo $domain.po
# -c = --check-format & --check-header & --check-domain
# -v = --verbose
# -o = --output-file
