 294
 295     wxLocale class encapsulates all language-dependent settings and is a
 296     generalization of the C locale concept.
 297
 298     In wxWidgets this class manages message catalogs which contain the translations
 299     of the strings used to the current language.
 300
 301     For a list of the supported languages, please see ::wxLanguage enum values.
 302     These constants may be used to specify the language in wxLocale::Init and
 303     are returned by wxLocale::GetSystemLanguage.
 304
 305     @beginWxPerlOnly
 306     In wxPerl you can't use the '_' function name, so
 307     the @c Wx::Locale module can export the @c gettext and
 308     @c gettext_noop under any given name.
 309
 310     @code
 311       # this imports gettext ( equivalent to Wx::GetTranslation
 312       # and gettext_noop ( a noop )
 313       # into your module
 314       use Wx::Locale qw(:default);
 315
 316       # ....
 317
 318       # use the functions
 319       print gettext( "Panic!" );
 320
 321       button = Wx::Button-new( window, -1, gettext( "Label" ) );
 322     @endcode
 323
 324     If you need to translate a lot of strings, then adding gettext( ) around
 325     each one is a long task ( that is why _( ) was introduced ), so just choose
 326     a shorter name for gettext:
 327
 328     @code
 329       use Wx::Locale 'gettext' = 't',
 330                      'gettext_noop' = 'gettext_noop';
 331
 332       # ...
 333
 334       # use the functions
 335       print t( "Panic!!" );
 336

 714     However it does have a purpose which is to mark the literal strings for the
 715     extraction into the message catalog created by @c xgettext program. Usually
 716     this is achieved using _() but that macro not only marks the string for
 717     extraction but also expands into a wxGetTranslation() call which means that
 718     it cannot be used in some situations, notably for static array
 719     initialization.
 720
 721     Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
 722     static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
 723     translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as wxDateTime already
 724     can be used to get the localized week day names already). If you write:
 725
 726     @code
 727     static const char * const weekdays[] = { _("Mon"), ..., _("Sun") };
 728     ...
 729     // use weekdays[n] as usual
 730     @endcode
 731
 732     The code wouldn't compile because the function calls are forbidden in the

 734
 735     @code
 736     static const char * const weekdays[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Mon"), ...,
 737     wxTRANSLATE("Sun") };
 738     ...

 740     @endcode
 741
 742     Note that although the code @b would compile if you simply omit
 743     wxTRANSLATE() in the above, it wouldn't work as expected because there
 744     would be no translations for the weekday names in the program message
 745     catalog and wxGetTranslation() wouldn't find them.
