NAME

CatalystX::I18N - Catalyst internationalisation (I18N) framework

SYNOPSIS

package MyApp::Catalyst;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Catalyst qw/
    +CatalystX::I18N::Role::Base
    +CatalystX::I18N::Role::GetLocale
    +CatalystX::I18N::Role::DateTime
    +CatalystX::I18N::Role::Maketext
/;
# Choose only the roles you need
# CatalystX::I18N::Role::All is a convinient shortcut to load all available roles

# Optionally also load request and response roles (also loaded by CatalystX::I18N::Role::All)
use CatalystX::RoleApplicator;
__PACKAGE__->apply_request_class_roles(qw/CatalystX::I18N::TraitFor::Request/);
__PACKAGE__->apply_response_class_roles(qw/CatalystX::I18N::TraitFor::Response/);

# Add some I18N configuration
__PACKAGE__->config(
    name    => 'MyApp',
    I18N    => {
        default_locale     => 'de_AT',
        locales            => {
            'de'               => {
                format_date        => 'dd.MM.yyyy',
                format_datetime    => 'dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm',
            },
            'de_AT'            => {
                inherits           => 'de',
                timezone           => 'Europe/Vienna',
                format_datetime    => 'dd.MM.yyyy uma HH\'e\'',
            },
            'de_DE'             => {
                inherits            => 'de',
                timezone            => 'Europe/Berlin',
            },
        }
    },
);

Then in your controller classes

package MyApp::Catalyst::Controller::Main;
use strict;
use warnings;
use parent qw/Catalyst::Controller/;

sub auto : Private {
    my ($self,$c) = @_;
    $c->get_locale();
    # Tries to fetch the locale from the folloing sources in the given order
    # 1. Session
    # 2. User settings
    # 3. Browser settings
    # 4. Client address
    # 5. Default locale from config
}

sub action : Local {
    my ($self,$c) = @_;
    
    $c->stash->{title} = $c->maketext('Hello world!');
    $c->stash->{location} = $c->i18n_geocode->name;
    $c->stash->{language} = $c->language;
    $c->stash->{localtime} = $c->i18n_datetime_format_date->format_datetime(DateTime->now);
}

If you want to load all available roles and traits you can use CatalystX::I18N::Role::All as a shortcut.

package MyApp::Catalyst;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Catalyst qw/
    +CatalystX::I18N::Role::All
/;

DESCRIPTION

CatalystX::I18N provides a comprehensive toolset for internationalisation (I18N) and localisation (L10N) of catalyst applications. This distribution consists of several modules that are designed to integrate seamlessly, but can be run idependently or replaced easily if necessary.

CONFIGURATION

In order to work properly, CatalystX::I18N will need some values in your Catalyst configuration

__PACKAGE__->config(
    name    => 'MyApp',
    I18N    => {
        default_locale     => 'de_AT', # Fallback locale
        locales            => {
            'de'               => {
                inactive           => 1,
                # Mark this locale as inactive (sort of abstract locale)
                ...
                # Arbitrary configuration parameters
            },
            'de_AT'            => {
                inherits           => 'de',
                # Inherit all settings form the 'de' locale
                ...
            },
        }
    },
);

The configuration must be stored under the key I18N. It should contain a hashref of locales and optionally a default locale (default_locale).

Locales can be marked as inactive. Inactive locales will not be selected by the "get_locale" in CatalystX::I18N::Role::GetLocale method.

Locales can inherit from other locales (inherits). All configuration values from inherited locales will be copied. If you use CatalystX::I18N::Model::Maketext together with CatalystX::I18N::Maketext the generated lexicons will also inherit in the selected order.

Additional configuration values are defined by the various CatalystX::I18N::Role::* plugins.

EXTENDING

Extending the functionality of CatalystX::I18N distribution is easy.

E.g. writing a new plugin that does some processing when the locale is set

package CatalystX::MyI18N::Role::MyPlugin;
use Moose::Role;
use namespace::autoclean;

after 'set_locale' => sub {
    my ($c,$locale) = @_;
    $c->do_someting($c->locale);
};
