NAME

DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary::Locale::it -- Italian localization for the French revolutionary calendar.

SYNOPSIS

use DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary::Locale;
my $italian_locale = DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary::Locale->load('it');

my $italian_month_name =$italian_locale->month_name($date);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides localization for DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary. Usually, its methods will be invoked only from DT::C::FR.

USAGE

This module provides the following class methods:

• new

  Returns an object instance, which is just a convenient value to be stored in a variable.

  Contrary to the widely used Gregorian calendar, there is no need to customize a French Revolutionary calendar locale. Therefore, there are no instance data and no instance methods.

• month_name ($date)

  Returns an Italian translation for $date's month, where $date is a DateTime::Calendar::FrenchRevolutionary object.

• month_abbreviation ($date)

  Returns a 3-letter abbreviation for the Italian month name.

• day_name ($date)

  Returns an Italian translation for the day name.

• day_abbreviation ($date)

  Returns a 3-letter abbreviation for the Italian day name.

• am_pm ($date)

  Returns a code (typically AM or PM) showing whether the datetime is in the morning or the afternoon. Outside the sexagesimal time with a 1..12 hour range, this is not very useful.

• feast_short ($date)

  Hopefully returns an adequate italian translation for the plant, animal or tool that correspond to $date's feast.

  Note: in some cases, the feast French name is left untranslated, while in some other cases, the translation is inadequate. If you are fluent in both French and Italian, do not hesitate to send corrections to the author.

• feast_long ($date)

  Same as feast_short, with a "day" prefix.

• feast_caps ($date)

  Same as feast_long with capitalized first letters.

• on_date ($date)

  Not implemented for the Italian locale. This method returns an empty string.

• full_date_format, long_date_format, medium_date_format, short_date_format

  Class methods, giving four strftime canned formats for dates, without the need to remember all the % specifiers.

• full_time_format, long_time_format, medium_time_format, short_time_format

  Same thing, strftime canned formats for decimal time.

• full_datetime_format, long_datetime_format, medium_datetime_format, short_datetime_format

  Same thing, for formats including both the date and the decimal time.

• default_date_format, default_time_format, default_datetime_format

  Class methods suggesting one each of the date formats, of the time formats and of the datetime formats.

• full_time_format, long_time_format, medium_time_format, short_time_format

  Same thing, strftime canned formats for decimal time.

• full_datetime_format, long_datetime_format, medium_datetime_format, short_datetime_format

  Same thing, for formats including both the date and the decimal time.

• default_date_format, default_time_format, default_datetime_format

  Class methods suggesting one each of the date formats, of the time formats and of the datetime formats.

• default_date_format_length, default_time_format_length

  While default_date_format and default_time_format give the actual default formats, with % and all, these class methods give a one-word description of the default formats: short, medium, long or full.

• date_formats, time_formats

  These class methods give a hashtable where the key is the length (short, medium, long and full) and the value is the corresponding format, complete with % and specifiers.

• month_names, month_abbreviations, day_names, day_abbreviations

  Class methods giving the whole array of month or day names or abbrevs, not limited to the date implemented by the invocant.
