In wxWindows 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 )
+ # into your module
+ use Wx::Locale qw(:default);
+
+ # ....
+
+ # use the functions
+ print gettext( ``Panic!'' );
+
+ 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',
+ 'gettext_noop' => 'gettext_noop';
+
+ # ...
+
+ # use the functions
+ print t( ``Panic!!'' );

-\item szShort is the standard 2 letter locale abbreviation and is used as the

-\item szLocale is the parameter for the call to setlocale()

+This function may be used to find the language description structure for the

+one that is used on UNIX systems: it is a two- or five-letter string in xx or

+\helpref{GetSystemEncoding}{wxlocalegetsystemencoding} instead.
