## What’s this?

Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) Library and Tools which is  
modeled after GNU gettext package.

The library converts the messages to localized messages properly using  
client-side locale information. And the tools for developers support  
to create, use, and modify localized the message files(message catalogs)  
easily.

Features:

- Simple APIs(similar GNU gettext)
- rgettext command for creating po-files from files below:  
o ruby scripts  
o glade-2 XML file(.glade)  
o ERB file(.rhtml)  
o ActiveRecord (.rb)
- rmsgfmt command for creating a mo-file from a po-file.
- The po-file is compatible to GNU gettext.  
You can maintain these files to use GNU getext tools.
- The mo-file is compatible to GNU gettext(msgfmt).
- multi-textdomain supported.  
You can bind plural textdomains to a class/module.
- CGI support (gettext/cgi)
- ERB support (gettext/erb)
- Ruby on Rails support (gettext/rails)
