If you only need to handle PO files you might want to check out PoParser

If you only need the raw PO data parsed to a ruby hash check out PoParser's core simple_po_parser

A simple and extendable .mo and .po file parser/generator.

Advanteges over original mo / po-parser:

• simple architecture + easy to extend/modify
• emtpy msgstr translations are read
• comments are included
• obsolete translations are included if enabled
• fuzzy can be set/unset
• references of non unique translations can be merged
• multiple translations can be combined in a new po file(with comments and fuzzy and ...)
• po files can be written from any kind of input
• easy mo-file handling/merging
• po/mo file handling is identical, if you know one, you know both

sudo gem install get_pomo

    #parse po files, first with obsolete messages second without
    translations = GetPomo::PoFile.parse(File.read('xxx.po'), :parse_obsoletes => true) + GetPomo::PoFile.parse(File.read('yyy.po'))
    #and use the data...
    msgids = translations.reject{|t|t.plural? or t.fuzzy? or t.obsolete?}.map(&:msgid)
    #or write a new po file (unique by msgid, with merged references for non uniques)...
    File.open('xxx.po','w){|f|f.print(GetPomo::PoFile.to_text(translations, :merge => true))}

p = GetPomo::PoFile.new
p.add_translations_from_text(File.read('...'))
...
p.translations
p.to_text

GetPomo::MoFile behaves identical.

• extracting of version/pluralisation_rule/plurals/translator... (from msgid "")
• the vendor/mofile is really complex, maybe it can be refactored (also some parts are not needed)
