412
413 wxLocale class encapsulates all language-dependent settings and is a

415
416 In wxWidgets this class manages message catalogs which contain the translations
417 of the strings used to the current language.
418

424 In wxPerl you can't use the '_' function name, so
425 the @c Wx::Locale module can export the @c gettext and
426 @c gettext_noop under any given name.
427
428 @code
429 # this imports gettext ( equivalent to Wx::GetTranslation
430 # and gettext_noop ( a noop )
431 # into your module
432 use Wx::Locale qw(:default);
433
434 # ....
435
436 # use the functions
437 print gettext( "Panic!" );
438
439 button = Wx::Button-new( window, -1, gettext( "Label" ) );
440 @endcode
441
442 If you need to translate a lot of strings, then adding gettext( ) around
443 each one is a long task ( that is why _( ) was introduced ), so just choose
444 a shorter name for gettext:
445
446 @code
447 use Wx::Locale 'gettext' = 't',
448 'gettext_noop' = 'gettext_noop';
449
450 # ...

859
860 Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
861 static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
862 translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as wxDateTime already
863 can be used to get the localized week day names already). If you write:

867 ...
868 // use weekdays[n] as usual

876 wxTRANSLATE("Sun") };
877 ...
878 // use wxGetTranslation(weekdays[n])

880
881 Note that although the code @b would compile if you simply omit
882 wxTRANSLATE() in the above, it wouldn't work as expected because there
883 would be no translations for the weekday names in the program message
884 catalog and wxGetTranslation() wouldn't find them.
