  `checker` = None

    A language specific checker (see filters.checks).

    This doesn’t need to be supplied, but will be used if it exists.

  `code` = ''

    The ISO 639 language code, possibly with a country specifier or other modifier.

    Examples:

        km
        pt_BR
        sr_YU@Latn

  `commonpunc` = u'.,;:!?-@#$%^*_()[]{}/\\\'`"<>'

    These punctuation marks are common in English and most languages that use latin script.

  `ethiopicpunc` = u'\u1362\u1364\u1363'

    These punctuation marks are used by several Ethiopic languages.

  `fullname` = ''

    The full (English) name of this language.

    Dialect codes should have the form of:

    - Khmer
    - Portugese (Brazil)
    - TODO: sr_YU@Latn?
  `ignoretests` = []

    List of pofilter tests for this language that must be ignored.

  `indicpunc` = u'\u0964\u0965\u0970'

    These punctuation marks are used by several Indic languages.

  `invertedpunc` = u'\xbf\xa1'

    Inverted punctuation sometimes used at the beginning of sentences in Spanish, Asturian, Galician, and Catalan.

  classmethod `length_difference`(length)

    Returns an estimate to a likely change in length relative to an English string of length length.

  `listseperator` = u', '

    This string is used to separate lists of textual elements. Most languages probably can stick with the default comma, but Arabic and some Asian languages might want to override this.

  `miscpunc` = u'\u2026\xb1\xb0\xb9\xb2\xb3\xb7\xa9\xae\xd7\xa3\xa5\u20ac'

    The middle dot (·) is used by Greek and Georgian.

  `mozilla_pluralequation` = '0'

    This of languages that has different plural formula in Mozilla than the standard one in Gettext.

  `nplurals` = 0

    The number of plural forms of this language.

    0 is not a valid value - it must be overridden. Any positive integer is valid (it should probably be between 1 and 6)

    See also

    `translate.lang.data`

  classmethod `numstart`(text)

    Determines whether the text starts with a numeric value.

  `pluralequation` = '0'

    The plural equation for selection of plural forms.

    This is used for PO files to fill into the header.

    See also

    Gettext manual, `translate.lang.data`

  `puncdict` = {}

    A dictionary of punctuation transformation rules that can be used by punctranslate().

  classmethod `punctranslate`(text)

    Converts the punctuation in a string according to the rules of the language.

  `punctuation` = u'.,;:!?-@#$%^*_()[]{}/\\\'`"<>\u2018\u2019\u201b\u201c\u201d\u201e\u201f\u2032\u2033\u2034\u2035\u2036\u2037\u2039\u203a\xab\xbb\xbf\xa1\u060c\u061f\u061b\xf7\u3002\u3001\uff0c\uff1b\uff01\uff1f\u300c\u300d\u300e\u300f\u3010\u3011\u0964\u0965\u0970\u1362\u1364\u1363\u2026\xb1\xb0\xb9\xb2\xb3\xb7\xa9\xae\xd7\xa3\xa5\u20ac'

    We include many types of punctuation here, simply since this is only meant to determine if something is punctuation. Hopefully we catch some languages which might not be represented with modules. Most languages won’t need to override this.

  `quotes` = u'\u2018\u2019\u201b\u201c\u201d\u201e\u201f\u2032\u2033\u2034\u2035\u2036\u2037\u2039\u203a\xab\xbb'

    These are different quotation marks used by various languages.

  `rtlpunc` = u'\u060c\u061f\u061b\xf7'

    These punctuation marks are used by Arabic and Persian, for example.

  classmethod `sentence_iter`(text, strip=True)

    Returns an iterator over the sentences in text.

  `sentenceend` = u'.!?\u2026\u0589\u061f\u0964\u3002\uff01\uff1f\u1362\u06d4'

    These marks can indicate a sentence end. Once again we try to account for many languages. Most langauges won’t need to override this.

  classmethod `sentences`(text, strip=True)

    Returns a list of sentences in text.

  `specialchars` = u''

    Characters used by the language that might not be easy to input with common keyboard layouts

  `validaccel` = None

    Characters that can be used as accelerators (access keys) i.e. Alt+X where X is the accelerator. These can include combining diacritics as long as they are accessible from the users keyboard in a single keystroke, but normally they would be at least precomposed characters. All characters, lower and upper, are included in the list.

  `validdoublewords` = []

    Some languages allow double words in certain cases. This is a dictionary of such words.

  classmethod `word_iter`(text)

    Returns an iterator over the words in text.

  classmethod `words`(text)

    Returns a list of words in text.

## data

  Parameters:

  - string – The string to be normalized
  - normal_form – NFC (default), NFD, NFKC, NFKD

  Returns: | Normalized string

`translate.lang.data.``normalized_unicode`(string)

## poedit

Functions to manage Poedit’s language features.

Note

The ISO 639 maps are from Poedit’s isocode.cpp (v1.4.2) to ensure that we match currently released versions of Poedit.

`translate.lang.poedit.``dialects` = {'Portuguese': {'BRAZIL': 'pt_BR', 'None': 'pt', 'PORTUGAL': 'pt'}, 'Chinese': {'TAIWAN': 'zh_TW', 'CHINA': 'zh_CN', 'None': 'zh_CN'}, 'English': {'UNITED KINGDOM': 'en_GB', 'None': 'en', 'SOUTH AFRICA': 'en_ZA'}}

  Language dialects based on ISO 3166 country names, ‘None’ is the default fallback

`translate.lang.poedit.``isocode`(language, country=None)

  Returns a language code for the given Poedit language name.

  Poedit uses language and country names in the PO header entries:

  - X-Poedit-Language
  - X-Poedit-Country

  This function converts the supplied language name into the required ISO 639 code. If needed, in the case of `dialects`, the country name is used to create an xx_YY style dialect code.

  Parameters:

  - language (String) – Language name
  - country (String) – Country name

  Returns: | ISO 639 language code
  Return type: | String
