NAME Catalyst::Plugin::I18N - I18N for Catalyst SYNOPSIS use Catalyst 'I18N'; print join ' ', @{ $c->languages }; $c->languages( ['de'] ); print $c->localize('Hello Catalyst'); Use a macro if you're lazy: [% MACRO l(text, args) BLOCK; c.localize(text, args); END; %] [% l('Hello Catalyst') %] [% l('Hello [_1]', 'Catalyst') %] [% l('lalala[_1]lalala[_2]', ['test', 'foo']) %] DESCRIPTION Supports mo/po files and Maketext classes under your applications I18N namespace. # MyApp/I18N/de.po msgid "Hello Catalyst" msgstr "Hallo Katalysator" #MyApp/I18N/de.pm package MyApp::I18N::de; use base 'MyApp::I18N'; our %Lexicon = ( 'Hello Catalyst' => 'Hallo Katalysator' ); 1; CONFIGURATION You can override any parameter sent to Locale::Maketext::Simple by specifying a "maketext_options" hashref to the "Plugin::I18N" config section. For example, the following configuration will override the "Decode" parameter which normally defaults to 1: __PACKAGE__->config( 'Plugin::I18N' => maketext_options => { Decode => 0 } ); EXTENDED METHODS setup METHODS languages Contains languages. $c->languages(['de_DE']); print join '', @{ $c->languages }; language return selected locale in your locales list. language_tag return language tag for current locale. The most notable difference from this method in comparison to "language()" is typically that languages and regions are joined with a dash and not an underscore. $c->language(); # en_us $c->language_tag(); # en-us loc localize Localize text. print $c->localize( 'Welcome to Catalyst, [_1]', 'sri' ); SEE ALSO Catalyst AUTHOR Sebastian Riedel Brian Cassidy Christian Hansen COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This program is free software, you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
