.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module is a subclass of \f(CW\*(C`Locale::Maketext\*(C'\fR, with additional
support for localizing messages that already contains interpolated
variables.
.PP
This is most useful when the messages are returned by external sources
\&\*(-- for example, to match \f(CW\*(C`dir: command not found\*(C'\fR against
\&\f(CW\*(C`[_1]: command not found\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Of course, this module is also useful if you're simply too lazy
to use the
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $lh->maketext("[quant,_1,file,files] deleted.", $count);
.Ve
.PP
syntax, but wish to write
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $lh->maketext_fuzzy("$count files deleted");
.Ve
.PP
instead, and have the correct plural form figured out automatically.
.PP
If \f(CW\*(C`maketext_fuzzy\*(C'\fR seems too long to type for you, this module
also provides a \f(CW\*(C`override_maketext\*(C'\fR method to turn \fIall\fR \f(CW\*(C`maketext\*(C'\fR
calls into \f(CW\*(C`maketext_fuzzy\*(C'\fR calls.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.Sh "$lh\->maketext_fuzzy(\fIkey\fP[, \fIparameters...\fP]);"
.IX Subsection "$lh->maketext_fuzzy(key[, parameters...]);"
That method takes exactly the same arguments as the \f(CW\*(C`maketext\*(C'\fR method
of \f(CW\*(C`Locale::Maketext\*(C'\fR.
.PP
If \fIkey\fR is found in lexicons, it is applied in the same way as
\&\f(CW\*(C`maketext\*(C'\fR.  Otherwise, it looks at all lexicon entries that could
possibly yield \fIkey\fR, by turning \f(CW\*(C`[...]\*(C'\fR sequences into \f(CW\*(C`(.*?)\*(C'\fR and
match the resulting regular expression against \fIkey\fR.
.PP
Once it finds all candidate entries, the longest one replaces the
\&\fIkey\fR for the real \f(CW\*(C`maketext\*(C'\fR call.  Variables matched by its bracket
sequences (\f(CW$1\fR, \f(CW$2\fR...) are placed before \fIparameters\fR; the order
of variables in the matched entry are correctly preserved.
.PP
For example, if the matched entry in \f(CW%Lexicon\fR is \f(CW\*(C`Test [_1]\*(C'\fR,
this call:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $fh->maketext_fuzzy("Test string", "param");
.Ve
.PP
is equivalent to this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $fh->maketext("Test [_1]", "string", "param");
.Ve
.PP
However, most of the time you won't need to supply \fIparameters\fR to
a \f(CW\*(C`maketext_fuzzy\*(C'\fR call, since all parameters are already interpolated
into the string.
.Sh "$lh\->override_maketext([\fIflag\fP]);"
.IX Subsection "$lh->override_maketext([flag]);"
If \fIflag\fR is true, this accessor method turns \f(CW\*(C`$lh\->maketext\*(C'\fR
into an alias for \f(CW\*(C`$lh\->maketext_fuzzy\*(C'\fR, so all consecutive
\&\f(CW\*(C`maketext\*(C'\fR calls in the \f(CW$lh\fR's packages are automatically fuzzy.
A false \fIflag\fR restores the original behaviour.  If the flag is not
specified, returns the current status of override; the default is
0 (no overriding).
.PP
Note that this call only modifies the symbol table of the \fIlanguage
class\fR that \f(CW$lh\fR belongs to, so other languages are not affected.
If you want to override all language handles in a certain application,
try this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    MyApp::L10N->override_maketext(1);
.Ve
.SH "CAVEATS"
.IX Header "CAVEATS"
.IP "\(bu" 4
The \*(L"longer is better\*(R" heuristic to determine the best match is
reasonably good, but could certainly be improved.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Currently, \f(CW"[quant,_1,file] deleted"\fR won't match \f(CW"3 files deleted"\fR;
you'll have to write \f(CW"[quant,_1,file,files] deleted"\fR instead, or
simply use \f(CW"[_1] file deleted"\fR as the lexicon key and put the correct
plural form handling into the corresponding value.
.IP "\(bu" 4
When used in combination with \f(CW\*(C`Locale::Maketext::Lexicon\*(C'\fR's \f(CW\*(C`Tie\*(C'\fR
backend, all keys would be iterated over each time a fuzzy match is
performed, and may cause serious speed penalty.  Patches welcome.

.SH "HISTORY"
.IX Header "HISTORY"
This particular module was written to facilitate an \fIauto-extraction\fR
layer for Slashcode's \fITemplate Toolkit\fR provider, based on
\&\f(CW\*(C`HTML::Parser\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Template::Parser\*(C'\fR.  It would work like this:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    Input | <B>from the [% story.dept %] dept.</B>
\&    Output| <B>[%|loc( story.dept )%]from the [_1] dept.[%END%]</B>
.Ve
.PP
Now, this layer suffers from the same linguistic problems as an
ordinary \f(CW\*(C`Msgcat\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`Gettext\*(C'\fR framework does \*(-- what if we want
to make ordinates from \f(CW\*(C`[% story.dept %]\*(C'\fR (i.e. \f(CW\*(C`from the 3rd dept.\*(C'\fR),
or expand the \f(CW\*(C`dept.\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`department\*(C'\fR / \f(CW\*(C`departments\*(C'\fR?
.PP
The same problem occurred in \s-1RT\s0's web interface, where it had to
localize messages returned by external modules, which may already
contain interpolated variables, e.g. \f(CW\*(C`"Successfully deleted 7
ticket(s) in 'c:\etemp'."\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Since I didn't have the time to refactor \f(CW\*(C`DBI\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`DBI::SearchBuilder\*(C'\fR,
I devised a \f(CW\*(C`loc_match\*(C'\fR method to pre-process their messages into one
of the \fIcandidate strings\fR, then applied the matched string to \f(CW\*(C`maketext\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Afterwards, I realized that instead of preparing a set of candidate
strings, I could actually use the original \fIlexicon file\fR (i.e. \s-1PO\s0 files
via \f(CW\*(C`Locale::Maketext::Lexicon\*(C'\fR) to match against.  This is how
\&\f(CW\*(C`Locale::Maketext::Fuzzy\*(C'\fR was born.
