NAME

Template::Multilingual - Multilingual templates for Template Toolkit

SYNOPSIS

This subclass of Template Toolkit supports multilingual templates: templates that contain text in several languages.

    <t>
      <en>Hello!</en>
      <fr>Bonjour !</fr>
    </t>

Then specify the language to use when processing a template:

    use Template::Multilingual;

    my $template = Template::Multilingual->new();
    $template->language('en');
    $template->process('example.ttml');

METHODS

language($lcode)

Specify the language to be used when processing the template. Any string that matches \w+ is fine, but we suggest sticking to ISO-639 which provides 2-letter codes for common languages and 3-letter codes for many others.

BUGS

Multilingual text sections cannot be used inside TT directives. The following is illegal and will trigger a TT syntax error:

    [% title = "<t><fr>Bonjour</fr><en>Hello</en></t>" %]

Use this instead:

    [% title = BLOCK %]<t><fr>Bonjour</fr><en>Hello</en></t>[% END %]

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-template-multilingual@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Template-Multilingual. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
