306 wxLocale class encapsulates all language-dependent settings and is a
307 generalization of the C locale concept.
7c913512 308
23324ae1
FM
309 In wxWidgets this class manages message catalogs which contain the translations
310 of the strings used to the current language.
7c913512 311
969daeea
FM
312 For a list of the supported languages, please see ::wxLanguage enum values.
313 These constants may be used to specify the language in wxLocale::Init and
314 are returned by wxLocale::GetSystemLanguage.
315
316 @beginWxPerlOnly
317 In wxPerl you can't use the '_' function name, so
7c913512
FM
318 the @c Wx::Locale module can export the @c gettext and
319 @c gettext_noop under any given name.
320
23324ae1 321 @code
969daeea 322 # this imports gettext ( equivalent to Wx::GetTranslation
23324ae1

323 # and gettext_noop ( a noop )
324 # into your module
325 use Wx::Locale qw(:default);

335 If you need to translate a lot of strings, then adding gettext( ) around
336 each one is a long task ( that is why _( ) was introduced ), so just choose

728 However it does have a purpose which is to mark the literal strings for the

3950d49c

730 this is achieved using _() but that macro not only marks the string for

735 Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
736 static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
3950d49c
BP
737 translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as wxDateTime already
738 can be used to get the localized week day names already). If you write:

740 @code
741 static const char * const weekdays[] = { _("Mon"), ..., _("Sun") };

7c913512 745
3950d49c

746 The code wouldn't compile because the function calls are forbidden in the
747 array initializer. So instead you should do this:
4cc4bfaf 748
23324ae1
FM
749 @code
750 static const char * const weekdays[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Mon"), ...,
751 wxTRANSLATE("Sun") };

3950d49c

757 wxTRANSLATE() in the above, it wouldn't work as expected because there
758 would be no translations for the weekday names in the program message
