Locale::XGettext simplifies the task of writing a string extractor in Perl, Python, Java, Ruby or other languages by providing a common base needed for such scripts. . Included is a sample string extractor xgettext-txt for plain text files. It simply splits the input into paragraphs, and turns each paragraph into an entry of a PO file. .
