gettext for openstack-common modules.

Usual usage in an openstack.common module:

    from keystone.openstack.common.gettextutils import _
"""

import gettext
import os

_localedir = os.environ.get('keystone'.upper() + '_LOCALEDIR')
_t = gettext.translation('keystone', localedir=_localedir, fallback=True)


def _(msg):
    return _t.ugettext(msg)


def install(domain):
    """Install a _() function using the given translation domain.

    Given a translation domain, install a _() function using gettext's
    install() function.

    The main difference from gettext.install() is that we allow
    overriding the default localedir (e.g. /usr/share/locale) using
    a translation-domain-specific environment variable (e.g.
    NOVA_LOCALEDIR).
    """
    gettext.install(domain,
                    localedir=os.environ.get(domain.upper() + '_LOCALEDIR'),
                    unicode=True)
