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 $msg = Log::Report::Message->new(_msgid => "Hello World\n");
print Log::Report::Translator->new(...)->translate($msg);

# normal use
textdomain 'my-domain'
  , translator => Log::Report::Translator->new;  # default
print __"Hello World\n";

DESCRIPTION

A module (or distribution) has a certain way of translating messages, usually gettext. The translator is based on some 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)

Accessors

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( $message, [$language, $ctxt] )

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.
