Log::Report::Win32Locale(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Log::Report::Win32Locale(3pm)

NAME

       Log::Report::Win32Locale - unix/windows locales

INHERITANCE

	Log::Report::Win32Locale
	  is a Exporter

DESCRIPTION

       Windows uses different locales to represent languages: codepages. Programs which are written with Log::Report however, will contain ISO
       encoded language names; this module translates between them.

       The algorithms in this module are based on Win32::Locale and Win32::Codepage.

FUNCTIONS

       charset_encoding
	   Returns the encoding name (usable with module Encode) based on the current codepage.  For example, "cp1252" for iso-8859-1 (latin-1) or
	   "cp932" for Shift-JIS Japanese.  Returns undef if the encoding cannot be identified.

       codepage_to_iso(CODEPAGE)
	   Translate windows CODEPAGE into ISO code.  The CODEPAGE is numeric or a hex string like '0x0304'.

       iso_locale([CODEPAGE])
	   Returns the ISO string for the Microsoft codepage locale.  Might return "undef"/false.  By default, the actual codepage is used.

       iso_to_codepage(ISO)
	   Returns the numeric value of the codepage.  The ISO may look like this: "xx_YY".  Then, first the "xx_YY" is looked-up.  If that does
	   not exist, "xx" is tried.

       ms_codepage_id
	   Returns the numeric language ID for the current codepage language.  For example, the numeric value for 0x0409 for "en-US", and 0x0411
	   for "ja".  Returns false if the codepage cannot be identified.

       ms_install_codepage_id
	   Returns the numeric language ID for the installed codepage language.  This is like ms_codepage_id(), but refers to the codepage that
	   was the default when Windows was first installed.

       ms_locale
	   Returns the locale setting from the control panel.

SYNOPSYS

	 # Only usable on Windows
	 print codepage_to_iso(0x0413);   # nl-NL
	 print iso_to_codepage('nl_NL');  # 1043
	 printf "%x", iso_to_codepage('nl_NL');  # 413

	 my $iso = iso_locale(ms_codepage_id());
	 my $iso = iso_locale;	# same

	 print charset_encoding;	  # cp1252
	 print ms_codepage_id;		  # 1043
	 print ms_install_codepage_id;	  # 1043
	 print ms_locale;		  # Dutch (Netherlands)

Log::Report::Translator(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Log::Report::Translator(3pm)

NAME

       Log::Report::Translator - base implementation for translating messages

INHERITANCE

	Log::Report::Translator is extended by
	  Log::Report::Translator::Gettext
	  Log::Report::Translator::POT

SYNOPSIS

	# internal infrastructure
	my $msg = Log::Report::Message->new(_msgid => "Hello World
");
	print Log::Report::Translator->new(...)->translate($msg);

	# normal use
	use Log::Report 'my-domain';
	print __"Hello World
";

DESCRIPTION

       A module (or distribution) has a certain way of translating messages, usually "gettext".  The translator is based on the "textdomain" for
       the message, which can be specified as option per text element, but usually is package scoped.

       This base class does not translate at all: it will use the MSGID (and MSGID_PLURAL if available).  It's a nice fallback if the language
       packs are not installed.

METHODS

   Constructors
       Log::Report::Translator->new(OPTIONS)
	    -Option --Default
	     charset  <from locale>
	     lexicon  <see text>

	   charset => STRING
	     When the locale contains a codeset in its name, then that will be used.  Otherwise, the default is "utf-8".

	   lexicon => DIRECTORY|ARRAY-of-DIRECTORYs
	     The DIRECTORY where the translations can be found.  See Log::Report::Lexicon::Index for the expected structure of such DIRECTORY.

	     The default is based on the location of the module which instantiates this translator.  The filename of the module is stripped from
	     its ".pm" extension, and used as directory name.  Within that directory, there must be a directory named "messages", which will be
	     the root directory of a Log::Report::Lexicon::Index.

	   example: default lexicon directory

	    # file xxx/perl5.8.8/My/Module.pm
	    use Log::Report 'my-domain'
	      , translator => Log::Report::Translator::POT->new;

	    # lexicon now in xxx/perl5.8.8/My/Module/messages/

   Accessors
       $obj->charset
	   Returns the default charset, which can be overrule by the locale.

       $obj->lexicons
	   Returns a list of Log::Report::Lexicon::Index objects, where the translation files may be located.

   Translating
       $obj->load(DOMAIN, LOCALE)
	   Load the translation information in the text DOMAIN for the indicated LOCALE.  Multiple calls to load() should not cost significant
	   performance: the data must be cached.

       $obj->translate(MESSAGE)
	   Returns the translation of the MESSAGE, a "Log::Report::Message" object, based on the current locale.

	   Translators are permitted to peek into the internal HASH of the message object, for performance reasons.
