Babilim is a prototype for localization plugins for the OCaml compiler.
This plugin currently requires a patch to the OCaml compiler to work. This patch is available at https://github.com/Octachron/ocaml/tree/i18n .
Once this patched compiler installed, babilim can be installed with
opam pin add babilim https://github.com/Octachron/babilim.git.
The localization plugin can then be used with either ocamlopt
ocamlopt -plugin $(ocamlfind query babilim)/babilim.cmxs -x-lang ${available translation}
or ocamlc
ocamlc -plugin $(ocamlfind query babilim)/babilim.cma -x-lang fr ${available translation}
More translations are more than welcome, see the template file
-
the xtract executable implements localized string extraction using the compiler-libs
-
the po library implements the parsing of po files
-
the metaprintf library provides a position-aware alternative to format string whic used the underlying Format formatting engine, dynamic parsers for both Format format string and the metaprintf variant, and some adaptator between the two format
-
the translator executable translates the po files into the internal binary format used by the babilim plugin
