Generate Pseudo translation from GNU Gettext POT/PO files.

Install with npm

npm install --save-dev gulp-pseudo-i18n

var gulp = require('gulp');
var pseudo = require('gulp-pseudo-i18n');

gulp.task('pseudo', function () {
    return gulp.src('localize/**/*.pot')
        .pipe(pseudo({
            // optional parameters
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('po/'));
});

The output file will be renamed to [Source filename without extension].[Language code].po, meaning core.pot with default language becomes core.qps-ploc.po.

• language: Language code for the generated file. Default: qps-ploc.
• excludes: Regular expression to detect parts of text that should be keep as-in. Default value excludes html tags (e.g. <span>) and AngularJS variables (e.g. $count).
• charMap: Custom charater map to create pseudo translation. Default: Map from node-pseudo-l10n.

The following code

var gulp = require('gulp');
var pseudo = require('gulp-pseudo-i18n');

gulp.task('pseudo', function () {
    return gulp.src('localize/**/*.pot')
        .pipe(pseudo({
            charMap: {
              'a': '1',
              'b': '23'
            }
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('po/'));
});

will create pseudo translation having 'a' replaced with number one, 'b' replaced with either number two or number three and all other characters left as-is.
