I use xgettext.pl to extract my .po-files from .pm, .js and .tt. I

Has anyone else already done that? If not, I'll try to cook up a
patch
I like talking to myself:
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=33166
Without knowing anything about Locale-Maketext-Lexicon... would it
support some way of using YAML(::Syck)? to read the file, and then
traversing the data structure? - as it'd be a lot more robust than
using a regex
For example, how would it handle single- or double-quoted strings?
label_loc: 'foo bar'
label_loc: "foo o'reilly"
Or the really funky stuff:
label_loc: |
string with
embedded newline
It works by using regexeses. For a more permanent and extensible fix,
it should prolly be rewritten to some sort of pluggable parser of some
sort. It for now only handles the really easy ones without quotes,
but as there seems to be some problems with my latest patch, I will
need to write more testcases and a new patch, so I'll see about quotes
etc as well then :/
Anyway, to be honest, I find the whole lexicon approach a bit
backwards.
As far as I can see, it means if you need to change a string in the
'native' language that you've used as a ke, it means you need to go
through all the other language files, and change the corresponding
key/string.
That's why I prefer using a made-up string as the key, such as
'constraint_required' - it says what it is, not what it says (um,
yeah, I think that's right)
I use IDs for my localization, not natural language, so I guess it all
comes down to preference :)
