Compiles data into portable object (PO) format.
To improve portability accross libraries the header is generated according to the format of the output of `xgettext`. This means using the same names for placeholders as well as including an empty entry. The empty entry at the beginning aids in parsing the file as it _attracts_ the preceding comments and following metadata when parsed which could otherwise be mistaken as a continued translation. The only difference in the header format is the initial header which just features one line of text.

Parameters

  • resource $stream
  • array $data

Returns

boolean
