It is not totally happy because of the template file used in tests.
It has line breaks inside TT directives and QA test script complains
because line breaks in TT directives confuse the current translatable
strings extractor.
However this patchset (along with bug 20988) will hopefully make the
current extractor obsolete and thus make the 'no-line-breaks' rule
useless

Locale::Maketext does not allow correct handling of plural translation
for languages that have more than one plural forms.
Locale::Messages does.
So Koha::I18N is now a wrapper around Locale::Messages, just like
Locale::TextDomain, and export the same symbols as Locale::TextDomain.
You can refer to documentation of Locale::TextDomain to know how to use
exported subroutines.
Example usage:
__("Hi")
__x("Hi {name}", name => 'Bob')
__n("item", "items", $num_items)
__nx("one item", "{count} items", $num_items, count => $num_items)
__p("Bibliographic record", "item")
This patch also brings Koha::I18N power to Template::Toolkit templates
by adding a TT plugin.
This plugin can be used like this:
[%# USE the plugin and define some macros %]
[% PROCESS 'i18n.inc' %]
[%# tn is the equivalent of __n %]
[%# macro names can't start with underscore, t is for "translate" %]
[% tn('item', 'items', num_items) %]
Extraction of strings from templates is a bit complicated and use
Template::Parser and PPI. Template is compiled into Perl code and then
analyzed by PPI. It is slow, but should be correct even with complex
constructions.
Remove dependency to Locale::Maketext and Locale::Maketext::Lexicon
Add dependency to Locale::Messages and PPI
Test plan for translation in Perl code:
1. Open a .pl script or .pm module with your favorite text editor
2. Add 'use Koha::I18N;' in the beginning of file
3. Use one of the subroutines exported by Koha::I18N and be sure to have
a way to visualize the result (pass result to the template for
example, or simply warn and watch the log file)
4. cd misc/translator && ./translate update fr-FR # try other languages
5. Open misc/translator/po/fr-FR-messages.po and translate your
string(s)
You may need to change the "Plural-Forms" header. See
https://localization-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/l10n/pluralforms.html
6. ./translate install fr-FR
7. Use your web browser to go to the page that should display the
translation, change language and verify the translation is correct
8. prove t/Koha/I18N.t
Test plan for translation in templates:
1. Open a template file (.tt or .inc) with your favorite text editor
2. Add the PROCESS directive mentioned above in the beginning of file
3. Use one of the t* macros defined in i18n.inc. They are used like
their "__" equivalent, with one difference: the 'x' variants take a
hashref instead of a hash as last parameter
4. cd misc/translator && ./translate update fr-FR
5. Open misc/translator/po/fr-FR-messages.po and translate your
string(s)
6. ./translate install fr-FR
7. Use your web browser to go to the page that should display the
translation, change language and verify the translation is
correct
