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.

\func{}{wxLocale}{\void}
translate the messages using the message catalogs for this locale.

\membersection{wxLocale::\destruct{wxLocale}}\label{wxlocaledtor}
\func{}{\destruct{wxLocale}}{\void}
set locale is restored and so the changes described in
\helpref{Init}{wxlocaleinit} documentation are rolled back.

\func{bool}{AddCatalog}{\param{const char }{*szDomain}}
+\func{bool}{AddCatalog}{\param{const char }{*szDomain}, \param{wxLanguage}{msgIdLanguage}, \param{const char }{*msgIdCharset}}
+
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}.
-All loaded catalogs will be used for message lookup by GetString() for the
-current locale.
+All loaded catalogs will be used for message lookup by
+\helpref{GetString()}{wxlocalegetstring} for the current locale.
Returns true if catalog was successfully loaded, false otherwise (which might
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
+\helpref{Writing non-English applications}{nonenglishoverview}.
+
+
\membersection{wxLocale::AddCatalogLookupPathPrefix}\label{wxlocaleaddcataloglookuppathprefix}

one that is used on UNIX systems: it is a two- or five-letter string in xx or
+
\membersection{wxLocale::GetLanguage}\label{wxlocalegetlanguage}
\constfunc{int}{GetLanguage}{\void}
Note that you can call this function only if you used the form of
\helpref{Init}{wxlocaleinit} that takes wxLanguage argument.
+
\membersection{wxLocale::GetLanguageInfo}\label{wxlocalegetlanguageinfo}
\constfunc{static wxLanguageInfo *}{GetLanguageInfo}{\param{int }{lang}}
See \helpref{AddLanguage}{wxlocaleaddlanguage} for the wxLanguageInfo
description.
+As with \helpref{Init}{wxlocaleinit}, \texttt{wxLANGUAGE\_DEFAULT} has the
+special meaning if passed as an argument to this function and in this case the
+result of \helpref{GetSystemLanguage()}{wxlocalegetsystemlanguage} is used.
+
+
\membersection{wxLocale::GetLanguageName}\label{wxlocalegetlanguagename}
\constfunc{static wxString}{GetLanguageName}{\param{int }{lang}}
Returns English name of the given language or empty string if this
language is unknown.
+See \helpref{GetLanguageInfo}{wxlocalegetlanguageinfo} for a remark about
+special meaning of \texttt{wxLANGUAGE\_DEFAULT}.
+
\membersection{wxLocale::GetLocale}\label{wxlocalegetlocale}
e.g. "English" or "French".
+
\membersection{wxLocale::GetName}\label{wxlocalegetname}
\constfunc{const wxString\&}{GetName}{\void}
Returns the current short name for the locale (as given to the constructor or
the Init() function).
+
\membersection{wxLocale::GetString}\label{wxlocalegetstring}
\constfunc{const char*}{GetString}{\param{const char }{*szOrigString}, \param{const char }{*szDomain = NULL}}
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.
+
\wxheading{Remarks}
Domains are searched in the last to first order, i.e. catalogs
added later override those added before.

+\membersection{wxLocale::GetHeaderValue}\label{wxlocalegetheadervalue}
+
+\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.

Compare \helpref{GetCanonicalName}{wxlocalegetcanonicalname}.

Returns \helpref{wxFontEncoding}{wxfont} value or

\membersection{wxLocale::GetSystemEncodingName}\label{wxlocalegetsystemencodingname}
\constfunc{static wxString}{GetSystemEncodingName}{\void}
