=head1 NAME

Locale::Po4a::TransTractor - Generic trans(lator ex)tractor.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The po4a (po for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more
interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext tools on
areas where they were not expected like documentation.

This class is the ancestor of every po4a parsers used to parse a document to
search translatable strings, extract them to a po file and replace them by
their translation in the output document. 

More formally, it takes the following arguments as input:

=over 2

=item -

a document to translate ;

=item -

a po file containing the translations to use.

=back

As output, it produces:

=over 2

=item -

another po file, resulting of the extraction of translatable strings from
the input document ;

=item -

a translated document, with the same structure than the one in input, but
with all translatable strings replaced with the translations found in the
po file provided in input.

=back

Here is a graphical representation of this:

   Input document --\                             /---> Output document
                     \                           /       (translated)
                      +-> parse() function -----+
                     /                           \
   Input po --------/                             \---> Output po
                                                         (extracted)

=head1 FUNCTIONS YOUR PARSER SHOULD OVERRIDE

=over 4

=item parse()

This is where all the work takes place: the parsing of input documents, the
generation of output, and the extraction of the translatable strings. This
is pretty simple using the provided functions presented in the section
"INTERNAL FUNCTIONS" below. See also the synopsis, which present an
example.

This function is called by the process() function bellow, but if you choose
to use the new() function, and to add content manually to your document,
you will have to call this function yourself.

=item docheader()

This function returns the header we should add to the produced document,
quoted properly to be a comment in the target language.  See the section
"Educating developers about translations", from L<po4a(7)|po4a.7>, for what
it is good for.

=back

=cut

sub docheader {}

sub parse {}

=head1 SYNOPSIS

The following example parses a list of paragraphs beginning with "<p>". For the sake
of simplicity, we assume that the document is well formatted, i.e. that '<p>'
tags are the only tags present, and that this tag is at the very beginning
of each paragraph.

 sub parse {
   my $self = shift;

   PARAGRAPH: while (1) {
       my ($paragraph,$pararef)=("","");
       my $first=1;
       my ($line,$lref)=$self->shiftline();
       while (defined($line)) {
	   if ($line =~ m/<p>/ && !$first--; ) {
	       # Not the first time we see <p>. 
	       # Reput the current line in input,
	       #  and put the built paragraph to output
	       $self->unshiftline($line,$lref);
	      
	       # Now that the document is formed, translate it:
	       #   - Remove the leading tag
	       $paragraph =~ s/^<p>//s;

	       #   - push to output the leading tag (untranslated) and the
	       #     rest of the paragraph (translated)
	       $self->pushline(  "<p>"
                               . $document->translate($paragraph,$pararef)
                               );

 	       next PARAGRAPH;
	   } else {
	       # Append to the paragraph
	       $paragraph .= $line;
	       $pararef = $lref unless(length($pararef));
	   }

           # Reinit the loop
           ($line,$lref)=$self->shiftline();
       }
       # Did not get a defined line? End of input file.
       return;
   }
 } 

Once you've implemented the parse function, you can use your document
class, using the public interface presented in the next section.

it's not the same statistics than the one printed by msgfmt
--statistic. Here, it's stats about recent usage of the po file, while
msgfmt reports the status of the file. It is a wrapper to the

=head1 INTERNAL FUNCTIONS used to write derivated parsers

=head2 Getting input, providing output

Four functions are provided to get input and return output. They are very
similar to shift/unshift and push/pop. The first pair is about input, while
the second is about output. Mnemonic: in input, you are interested in the
first line, what shift gives, and in output you want to add your result at
the end, like push does.

=over 4

=item shiftline()

This function returns the next line of the doc_in to be parsed and its
reference (packed as an array).

=item unshiftline($$)

Unshifts a line of the input document and its reference. 

=item pushline($)

Push a new line to the doc_out.

=item popline()

Pop the last pushed line from the doc_out.

=back

=cut

sub shiftline   {  
    my ($line,$ref)=(shift @{$_[0]->{TT}{doc_in}},
		     shift @{$_[0]->{TT}{doc_in}}); 
    return ($line,$ref);
}
sub unshiftline {
	my $self = shift;
	unshift @{$self->{TT}{doc_in}},@_;
}

sub pushline    {  push @{$_[0]->{TT}{doc_out}}, $_[1] if defined $_[1]; }
sub popline     {  return pop @{$_[0]->{TT}{doc_out}};            }

=head2 Marking strings as translatable

One function is provided to handle the text which should be translated. 

=over 4

=item translate($$$)

Mandatory arguments:

=over 2

=item -

A string to translate

=item -

The reference of this string (ie, position in inputfile)

=item -

The type of this string (ie, the textual description of its structural role
; used in Locale::Po4a::Po::gettextization() ; see also L<po4a(7)|po4a.7>,
section I<Gettextization: how does it work?>)

=back

This function can also take some extra arguments. They must be organized as
a hash. For example:

  $self->translate("string","ref","type",
		   'wrap' => 1);

=over

=item wrap

boolean indicating whether we can consider that whitespaces in string are
not important. If yes, the function canonizes the string before looking for
a translation or extracting it, and wraps the translation.

Actions:

=over 2

=item -

Pushes the string, reference and type to po_out.

=item -

Returns the translation of the string (as found in po_in) so that the
parser can build the doc_out.

=item -

Handles the charsets to recode the strings before sending them to
po_out and before returning the translations.

=head2 Misc functions

=over 4

=item verbose()

Returns if the verbose option was passed during the creation of the
TransTractor.

=cut

sub verbose {
    if (defined $_[1]) {
	$_[0]->{TT}{verbose} = $_[1];
    } else {
	return $_[0]->{TT}{verbose} || 0; # undef and 0 have the same meaning, but one generates warnings
    }
}

=item debug()

Returns if the debug option was passed during the creation of the
TransTractor.

=cut

sub debug {
    return $_[0]->{TT}{debug};
}

=item detected_charset($)

This tells TransTractor that a new charset (the first argument) has been
detected from the input document. It can usually be read from the document
header. Only the first charset will remain, coming either from the
process() arguments or detected from the document.

=cut

sub detected_charset {
    my ($self,$charset)=(shift,shift);
    unless (defined($self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'}) and
            length($self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'}) ) {
        $self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'}=$charset;
        if (defined $charset) {
            $self->{TT}{'file_in_encoder'}=find_encoding($charset);
        }
    }

    if (defined $self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'} and
        length $self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'} and
        $self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'} !~ m/ascii/i) {
	$self->{TT}{ascii_input}=0;
    }
}

=item get_out_charset()

This function will return the charset that should be used in the output
document (usually useful to substitute the input document's detected charset
where it has been found).

It will use the output charset specified in the command line. If it wasn't
specified, it will use the input po's charset, and if the input po has the
default "CHARSET", it will return the input document's charset, so that no
encoding is performed.

=cut

sub get_out_charset {
    my $self=shift;
    my $charset;

    # Use the value specified at the command line
    if (defined($self->{TT}{'file_out_charset'}) and
	length($self->{TT}{'file_out_charset'})) {
	$charset=$self->{TT}{'file_out_charset'};
    } else {
	if ($self->{TT}{utf_mode} && $self->{TT}{ascii_input}) {
	    $charset="utf-8";
	} else {
	    $charset=$self->{TT}{po_in}->get_charset;
	    $charset=$self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'}
		if $charset eq "CHARSET" and
		    defined($self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'}) and
		    length($self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'});
	    $charset="ascii"
		if $charset eq "CHARSET";
	}
    }
    return $charset;
}

=item recode_skipped_text($)

This function returns the recoded text passed as argument, from the input
document's charset to the output document's one. This isn't needed when
translating a string (translate() recodes everything itself), but it is when
you skip a string from the input document and you want the output document to
be consistent with the global encoding.

=cut

sub recode_skipped_text {
    my ($self,$text)=(shift,shift);
    unless ($self->{TT}{'ascii_input'}) {
	if(defined($self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'}) and
	    length($self->{TT}{'file_in_charset'}) ) {
	    $text = encode_from_to($text,
	                           $self->{TT}{'file_in_encoder'},
	                           find_encoding($self->get_out_charset));
	} else {
	    die wrap_mod("po4a", dgettext("po4a", "Couldn't determine the input document's charset. Please specify it on the command line. (non-ascii char at %s)"), $self->{TT}{non_ascii_ref})
	}
    }
    return $text;
}


# encode_from_to($,$,$)
#
# Encode the given text from one encoding to another one.
# It differs from Encode::from_to because it does not take the name of the
# encoding in argument, but the encoders (as returned by the
# Encode::find_encoding(<name>) method). Thus it permits to save a bunch
# of call to find_encoding.
#
# If the "from" encoding is undefined, it is considered as UTF-8 (or
# ascii).
# If the "to" encoding is undefined, it is considered as UTF-8.
#
sub encode_from_to {
    my ($text,$from,$to) = (shift,shift,shift);

    if (not defined $from) {
        # for ascii and UTF-8, no conversion needed to get an utf-8
        # string.
    } else {
        $text = $from->decode($text, 0);
    }

    if (not defined $to) {
        # Already in UTF-8, no conversion needed
    } else {
        $text = $to->encode($text, 0);
    }

    return $text;

=head1 FUTURE DIRECTIONS

One shortcoming of the current TransTractor is that it can't handle
translated document containing all languages, like debconf templates, or
.desktop files.

To address this problem, the only interface changes needed are:

=over 2

=item -

take a hash as po_in_name (a list per language)

=item -

add an argument to translate to indicate the target language

=item -

make a pushline_all function, which would make pushline of its content for
all language, using a map-like syntax:

    $self->pushline_all({ "Description[".$langcode."]=".
			  $self->translate($line,$ref,$langcode) 
		        });

=back

Will see if it's enough ;)
