Localizer::Lexicon - Default lexicon class

SYNOPSIS

use Localizer::Resource;
use Localizer::Style::Gettext;
use Localizer::Lexicon

my $es = Localizer::Resource->new(
    dictionary => Localizer::Lexicon->new( 'Hi, %1.' => 'Hola %1.' ),

DESCRIPTION

Localizer::Lexicon is just the default lexicon that is built internally when you provide a hashref as your dictionary.

You can implement your own class to replace this one as your Localizer dictionary, for instance, to get your translations from a database or API. Just pass your object which implements msgids() and msgstr() like this one as your dictionary.

METHODS

• Localizer::Lexicon->new(%args | \%args)

  Constructor. It will initialize the lexicon from a list or hashref

  e.g.

  my $de = Localizer::Lexicon->new(
      'Hello, World!' => 'Hello, Welt!'
  );

  dictionary: Hash Reference

  Dictionary data to localize.

• $localizer->msgids();

  Returns a list of msgeid's which are the keys of the dictionary.

• $localizer->msgstr($msgid);

  Return the message to translate given $msgid (dictionary data with key). If you give nonexistent key to this method, it returns undef.
