SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This module is very useful to run the application before the real translator module has been finished.

The I18N plugin calls the class method translate of the translator class. The given parameter is a hash reference of scalars, array or hash references. The translator has to run the given escape code reference for all values. To see the struct of the rest of this hash reference the default translator simplifies to

scalar=value;array=value1,value2;hash=key1,value1

Then the output is human readable.

There is only a simple problem with undefs. Therefore the default translator has an extra escape.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

class method set_escape

Set an escape code reference to run an extra escape for all the values. The example describes the default to have no undefined values in the maketext array reference or in the gettext hash.

HTML::Template::Compiled::Plugin::I18N::DefaultTranslator->set_escape(
    sub {
        my $string = shift;

        defined $string
            and return $string;

        return 'undef';
    },
);

class method get_escape

Get back the current escape code reference for extra escape.

$code_ref
    = HTML::Template::Compiled::Plugin::I18N::DefaultTranslator->get_escape();

class method translate

Possible hash keys are

context   (optional string)
text      (string)
plural    (optional string)
count     (optional unsigned integer)
maketext  (optional array reference)
gettext   (optional hash reference)
formatter (optional array reference)
escape    (optional code reference)

The scalar values are defined or the hash key does not exists. The array and hash references are references or the hash key does not exists.

$string
    = HTML::Template::Compiled::Plugin::I18N::DefaultTranslator->translate({
        text => 'text',
        ...
    });

After a translation text and plural have to escape.
