NAME

WE::Util::LangString - language-dependent strings

SYNOPSIS

    use WE::Util::LangString qw(new_langstring langstring set_langstring);

This module deals with language-dependent strings.

WE::Util::LangString->new(en => "english title", de => "german title"): Create a new WE::Util::LangString object and optionally initializes the object with values.
new_langstring(en => "english title", de => "german title"): Same as the new constructor, but shorter form.
$obj->get([$language]): Get the value for the specified language. If no language is specified or there is no language value in the object, then the english version is returned. If there is no english version, return the first value found in the object.
$obj->langstring([$language])
langstring($string, [$language]): This is an alias for get.
set_langstring($obj,$language,$string,[$default_language]): Set the string $string for language $language to the object $obj. If $obj is not yet a WE::Util::LangString object, then it will be blessed automatically into it. If $language is not specified, then a default language (as set in $DEFAULT_LANG, normally english) is used.
dump: Dump the content of the langstring as a one-line string.
concat($oldstr, $newstr): Add $newstr to $oldstr. If $oldstr is a WE::Util::LangString object, than add $newstr to all language variants in the object. If both arguments are WE::Util::LangString objects, then the corresponding language versions are concatenated.
