NAME

       Catalyst::Plugin::I18N - I18N for Catalyst

SYNOPSIS

	   use Catalyst 'I18N';

	   print join ' ', @{ $c->languages };
	   $c->languages( ['de'] );
	   print $c->localize('Hello Catalyst');

       Use a macro if you're lazy:

	  [% MACRO l(text, args) BLOCK;
	      c.localize(text, args);
	  END; %]

	  [% l('Hello Catalyst') %]
	  [% l('Hello [_1]', 'Catalyst') %]
	  [% l('lalala[_1]lalala[_2]', ['test', 'foo']) %]
	  [% l('messages.hello.catalyst') %]

DESCRIPTION

       Supports mo/po files and Maketext classes under your application's I18N namespace.

	  # MyApp/I18N/de.po
	  msgid "Hello Catalyst"
	  msgstr "Hallo Katalysator"

	  # MyApp/I18N/i_default.po
	  msgid "messages.hello.catalyst"
	  msgstr "Hello Catalyst - fallback translation"

	  # MyApp/I18N/de.pm
	  package MyApp::I18N::de;
	  use base 'MyApp::I18N';
	  our %Lexicon = ( 'Hello Catalyst' => 'Hallo Katalysator' );
	  1;

   CONFIGURATION
       You can override any parameter sent to Locale::Maketext::Simple by specifying a "maketext_options" hashref to the "Plugin::I18N" config
       section. For example, the following configuration will override the "Decode" parameter which normally defaults to 1:

	   __PACKAGE__->config(
	       'Plugin::I18N' =>
		   maketext_options => {
		       Decode => 0
		   }
	   );

       All languages fallback to MyApp::I18N which is mapped onto the i-default language tag. If you use arbitrary message keys, use i_default.po
       to translate into English, otherwise the message key itself is returned.

   EXTENDED METHODS
       setup

   METHODS
       languages

       Contains languages.

	  $c->languages(['de_DE']);
	  print join '', @{ $c->languages };

       language

       return selected locale in your locales list.

       language_tag

       return language tag for current locale. The most notable difference from this method in comparison to "language()" is typically that
       languages and regions are joined with a dash and not an underscore.

	   $c->language(); # en_us
	   $c->language_tag(); # en-us

       installed_languages

       Returns a hash of { langtag => "descriptive name for language" } based on language files in your application's I18N directory. The
       descriptive name is based on I18N::LangTags::List information.  If the descriptive name is not available, will be undef.

       loc

       localize

       Localize text.

	   print $c->localize( 'Welcome to Catalyst, [_1]', 'sri' );
