parse( string $resource )

Parses portable object (PO) format.

From http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#PO-Files we should be able to parse files having:

white-space # translator-comments #. extracted-comments #: reference... #, flag... #| msgid previous-untranslated-string msgid untranslated-string msgstr translated-string

extra or different lines are:

#| msgctxt previous-context #| msgid previous-untranslated-string msgctxt context

#| msgid previous-untranslated-string-singular #| msgid_plural previous-untranslated-string-plural msgid untranslated-string-singular msgid_plural untranslated-string-plural msgstr[0] translated-string-case-0 ... msgstr[N] translated-string-case-n

The definition states:

• white-space and comments are optional.
• msgid "" that an empty singleline defines a header.

This parser sacrifices some features of the reference implementation the differences to that implementation are as follows.

• No support for comments spanning multiple lines.
• Translator and extracted comments are treated as being the same type.
• Message IDs are allowed to have other encodings as just US-ASCII.

Items with an empty id are ignored.

Parameters

string $resource

The file name to parse
