NAME

Uttu::L10N - basic internationalization support

DESCRIPTION

Uttu has minimal support for internationalization. The reason for this is that there are already good ways to handle language choice without rewritting it all in Perl again.

Uttu lets Apache handle the choice of which file to serve after it has translated the URI to a filename. This is subject to change since it doesn't handle well the case of HTML::Mason with different component roots where one component root has working files masking some of the files in a more general or production component root.

Uttu uses Locale::Maketext as the basis for its language translation services.

If internationalization is enabled, Uttu will search through several Perl modules, using the first one it finds. These are, in order of preference and following the suggested @ISA chain,

Uttu::Framework::$framework::L10N::Local::$function_set,
Uttu::Framework::$framework::L10N::$function_set,
Uttu::Framework::$framework::L10N::Local,
Uttu::Framework::$framework::L10N,
Uttu::L10N.
