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']) %]
[% l('messages.hello.catalyst') %]

DESCRIPTION

Supports mo/po files and Maketext classes under your application's I18N namespace.

# MyApp/I18N/de.po
msgid "Hello Catalyst"
msgstr "Hallo Katalysator"

# MyApp/I18N/i_default.po
msgid "messages.hello.catalyst"
msgstr "Hello Catalyst - fallback translation"

# 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
        }
);

All languages fallback to MyApp::I18N which is mapped onto the i-default language tag. If you use arbitrary message keys, use i_default.po to translate into English, otherwise the message key itself is returned.

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

installed_languages

Returns a hash of { langtag => "descriptive name for language" } based on language files in your application's I18N directory. The descriptive name is based on I18N::LangTags::List information. If the descriptive name is not available, will be undef.

loc

localize

Localize text.

print $c->localize( 'Welcome to Catalyst, [_1]', 'sri' );
