Text Library: Internationalization

This library has 16 classes.

An internationalization library with support for translations rendered in Pyxis format. There are a number of tools in el_toolkit to support the use of this library.

Directory: library/text/i18n

[ . ]

EL_DEFAULT_LOCALE

Locale that defines the language used for translations keys via the country code id key_language.

Further Information

Click on class link to see client examples.

EL_LOCALE

Object accessible via EL_MODULE_LOCALE that returns translated strings using the syntax:

Locale * "<text>"

The translation files are named locale.x where x is a 2 letter country code, with expected location defined by Localization_dir, By default this is set to Directory.Application_installation accessible via EL_MODULE_DIRECTORY.

The locale data files are compiled from Pyxis format using the el_toolkit -compile_translations sub-application option.

EL_MODULE_LOCALE

Localization implementation via once routine Locale. By calling the once routine Locale in the application before the once routine {EL_MODULE_DEFERRED_LOCALE}.Locale, any library classes that have deferred localization will now use Locale.
