1;DESCRIPTION
Mojolicious::Plugin::I18N adds Locale::Maketext support to Mojolicious. All you have to do besides using this plugin is to add as many lexicon classes as you need. Languages can usually be detected automatically from the Accept-Languages request header. The code of this plugin is a good example for learning to build new plugins.
This plugin can save a lot of typing, since it will generate the following code by default.
# $self->plugin('I18N');
package MyApp::I18N;
use base 'Locale::Maketext';
package MyApp::I18N::en;
use base 'MyApp::I18N';
our %Lexicon = (_AUTO => 1);
1;Namespace and default language of generated code are affected by their respective options. The default lexicon class will only be generated if it doesn't already exist.
