wxLocale class encapsulates all language-dependent settings and is a
generalization of the C locale concept.
-In wxWindows this class manages message catalogs which contain the translations
+In wxWidgets this class manages message catalogs which contain the translations
of the strings used to the current language.
\perlnote{In wxPerl you can't use the '\_' function name, so
the {\tt Wx::Locale} module can export the {\tt gettext} and
{\tt gettext\_noop} under any given name.
+
\begin{verbatim}
# this imports gettext ( equivalent to Wx::GetTranslation
# and gettext_noop ( a noop )
button = Wx::Button->new( window, -1, gettext( ``Label'' ) );
\end{verbatim}
+
If you need to translate a lot of strings, then adding gettext( ) around
each one is a long task ( that is why \_( ) was introduced ), so just choose
a shorter name for gettext:
+
\begin{verbatim}
#
use Wx::Locale 'gettext' => 't',
# ...
\end{verbatim}

Add a catalog for use with the current locale: it is searched for in standard
places (current directory first, then the system one), but you may also prepend
additional directories to the search path with
\helpref{AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix()}{wxlocaleaddcataloglookuppathprefix}.

mean that the catalog is not found or that it isn't in the correct format).
+The second form of this method takes two additional arguments,
+\arg{msgIdLanguage} and \arg{msgIdCharset}.
+
+\arg{msgIdLanguage} specifies the language of "msgid" strings in source code
+(i.e. arguments to \helpref{GetString}{wxlocalegetstring},
+\helpref{wxGetTranslation}{wxgettranslation} and the
+\helpref{\_()}{underscore} macro). It is used if AddCatalog cannot find any
+catalog for current language: if the language is same as source code language,
+then strings from source code are used instead.
+
+\arg{msgIdCharset} lets you specify the charset used for msgids in sources
+in case they use 8-bit characters (e.g. German or French strings). This
+argument has no effect in Unicode build, because literals in sources are
+Unicode strings; you have to use compiler-specific method of setting the right
+charset when compiling with Unicode.
+
+By default (i.e. when you use the first form), msgid strings are assumed
+to be in English and written only using 7-bit ASCII characters.
+
+If you have to deal with non-English strings or 8-bit characters in the source
+code, see the instructions in

+
Retrieves the translation for a string in all loaded domains unless the szDomain
parameter is specified (and then only this catalog/domain is searched).
(in this case an error message is generated the first time
a string is not found; use \helpref{wxLogNull}{wxlogoverview} to suppress it).
+The second form is used when retrieving translation of string that has
+different singular and plural form in English or different plural forms in some
+other language. It takes two extra arguments: \arg{szOrigString}
+parameter must contain the singular form of the string to be converted.
+It is also used as the key for the search in the catalog.
+The \arg{szOrigString2} parameter is the plural form (in English).
+The parameter \arg{n} is used to determine the plural form. If no
+message catalog is found \arg{szOrigString} is returned if `n == 1',
+otherwise \arg{szOrigString2}.
+See \urlref{GNU gettext manual}{http://www.gnu.org/manual/gettext/html\_chapter/gettext\_10.html\#SEC150} for additional information on plural forms handling.
+
+This method is called by the \helpref{wxGetTranslation}{wxgettranslation}
+function and \helpref{\_()}{underscore} macro.

Domains are searched in the last to first order, i.e. catalogs
added later override those added before.

+\constfunc{wxString}{GetHeaderValue}{\param{const char }{*szHeader}, \param{const char }{*szDomain = NULL}}

+Returns the header value for header \arg{szHeader}. The search for \arg{szHeader} is case sensitive. If an \arg{szDomain}
+is passed, this domain is searched. Else all domains will be searched until a header has been found.
+The return value is the value of the header if found. Else this will be empty.
