Synopsis

   use CatalystX::Usul::L10N;

   my $l10n = CatalystX::Usul::L10N->new( {
      debug        => $c->debug,
      log          => $c->log,
      tempdir      => File::Spec->tmpdir } );

   $local_text = $l10n->localize( $key, {
      domain_names => [ 'default', $c->action->namespace ],
      locale       => q(de_DE),
      params       => { name => 'value', }, } );

Description

Localize text strings

Configuration and Environment

A POSIX locale id has the form

   <language>_<country>.<charset>@<key>=<value>;...

If the use_country attribute is set to true in the constructor call then the language and country are used from locale. By default use_country is false and only the language from the locale attribute is used

Subroutines/Methods

BUILD

Finish initializing the object

get_po_header

   $po_header_hash_ref = $l10n->get_po_header( { locale => q(de) } );

Returns a hash ref containing the keys and values of the PO header record

localize

   $local_text = $l10n->localize( $key, $args );

Localizes the message. The message catalog is loaded from a GNU Gettext portable object file. Returns the $key if the message is not in the catalog. Language is selected by the $args->{locale} attribute. Expands positional parameters of the form [_<n>] if $args->{params} is an array ref of values to substitute. Otherwise expands named attributes of the form {attr_name} using the $args hash for substitution values. The attribute $args->{count} is passed to the machine object files plural function which is used to select either the singular or plural form of the translation. If $args->{context} is supplied it is prepended to the $key before the lookup in the catalog takes place
