Overview

A module (or distribution) has a certain way of translating messages, usually "gettext". The translator is based on some "textdomain" for the message, which can be specified as option per text element, but usually is package scoped.

This base class does not translate at all: it will use the MSGID (and MSGID_PLURAL if available). It's a nice fallback if the language packs are not installed.

Methods

Constructors

$class->new(%options)

Attributes

Translating

$obj->load($domain, $locale): Load the translation information in the text $domain for the indicated $locale. Multiple calls to load() should not cost significant performance: the data must be cached.

$obj->translate( $message, [$language, $ctxt] )

Returns the translation of the $message, a Log::Report::Message object, based on the current locale.

Translators are permitted to peek into the internal HASH of the message object, for performance reasons.
