NAME

Locale::Babelfish - Perl I18n using github://nodeca/babelfish format.

VERSION

version 1.000000

SYNOPSIS

package Foo;

use Locale::Babelfish;

my $bf = Locale::Babelfish->new( { dirs => [ '/path/to/dictionaries' ] } );
print $bf->t('dictionary.firstkey.nextkey', { foo => 'bar' } );

More sophisticated example:

package Foo::Bar;

use Locale::Babelfish;

my $bf = Locale::Babelfish->new( {
    # configuration
    dirs         => [ '/path/to/dictionaries' ],
    default_locale => [ 'ru_RU' ], # By default en_US
} );

# using default locale
print $bf->t( 'dictionary.akey' );
print $bf->t( 'dictionary.firstkey.nextkey', { foo => 'bar' } );

# using specified locale
print $bf->t( 'dictionary.firstkey.nextkey', { foo => 'bar' }, 'by_BY' );

# using scalar as count or value variable
print $bf->t( 'dictionary.firstkey.nextkey', 90 );
# same as
print $bf->t( 'dictionary.firstkey.nextkey', { count => 90, value => 90 } );

# set locale
$bf->locale( 'en_US' );
print $bf->t( 'dictionary.firstkey.nextkey', { foo => 'bar' } );

# Get current locale
print $bf->locale;

DESCRIPTION

Internationalisation with easy syntax

Created for using same dictionaries on Perl and JavaScript.

METHODS

new

Constructor

my $bf = Locale::Babelfish->new( {
    dirs           => [ '/path/to/dictionaries' ], # is required
    suffix         => 'yaml', # dictionaries extension
    default_locale => 'ru_RU', # by default en_US
} );

locale

Gets or sets current locale.

$self->locale;
$self->locale( 'en_GB' );

prepare_to_compile

$self->prepare_to_compile()

Marks dictionary values as refscalars, is they need compilation. Or simply compiles them.

detect_locale

$self->detect_locale( $locale );

Detects locale by specified locale/language.

Returns default locale unless detected.

load_dictionaries

Loads dictionaries recursively on specified path.

$self->load_dictionaries;
$self->load_dictionaries( \&filter( $file_path ) );

phrase_need_compilation

$self->phrase_need_compilation( $phrase, $key )
$class->phrase_need_compilation( $phrase, $key )

Is phrase need parsing and compilation.

t_or_undef

Get internationalized value for key from dictionary.

$self->t_or_undef( 'main.key.subkey' );
$self->t_or_undef( 'main.key.subkey' , { param1 => 1 , param2 => { next_level  => 'test' } } );
$self->t_or_undef( 'main.key.subkey' , { param1 => 1 }, $specific_locale );
$self->t_or_undef( 'main.key.subkey' , 1 );

Where main - is dictionary, key.subkey - key at dictionary.

t

Get internationalized value for key from dictionary.

$self->t( 'main.key.subkey' );
$self->t( 'main.key.subkey' , { param1 => 1 , param2 => { next_level  => 'test' } } );
$self->t( 'main.key.subkey' , { param1 => 1 }, $specific_locale );
$self->t( 'main.key.subkey' , 1 );

Where main - is dictionary, key.subkey - key at dictionary.

Returns square bracketed key when value not found.

has_any_value

Check exist or not key in dictionary.

$self->has_any_value( 'main.key.subkey' );

Where main - is dictionary, key.subkey - key at dictionary.

set_fallback

$self->set_fallback( 'by_BY', 'ru_RU', 'en_US');
$self->set_fallback( 'by_BY', [ 'ru_RU', 'en_US' ] );

Set fallbacks for given locale.

When `locale` has no translation for the phrase, fallbacks[0] will be tried, if translation still not found, then fallbacks[1] will be tried and so on. If none of fallbacks have translation, default locale will be tried as last resort.

DICTIONARIES

Phrases Syntax

#{varname} Echoes value of variable ((Singular|Plural1|Plural2)):variable Plural form ((Singular|Plural1|Plural2)) Short plural form for "count" variable

Example:

I have #{nails_count} ((nail|nails)):nails_count

or short form

I have #{count} ((nail|nails))

or with zero and onу plural forms:

I have ((=0 no nails|=1 a nail|#{nails_count} nail|#{nails_count} nails)):nails_count

Dictionary file example

Module support only YAML format. Create dictionary file like: dictionary.en_US.yaml where dictionary is name of dictionary and en_US - its locale.

demo:
    apples: I have #{count} ((apple|apples))

Encoding

UTF-8 (Perl internal encoding).

DETAILS

Dictionaries loaded at instance construction stage.

All scalar values will be saved as scalar refs if needs compilation (has Babelfish control sequences).

t_or_undef method translates specified key value.

Result will be compiled when scalarref. Result of compilation is scalar or coderef.

Result will be executed when coderef.

Scalar/hashref/arrayref will be returned as is.
