METHODS

Constructors

$class->new( %options )
Option Default

charset

<from locale>

lexicons

<see text>

charset => STRING
When the locale contains a codeset in its name, then that will be used. Otherwise, the default is utf-8.
lexicons => DIRECTORY|ARRAY-of-DIRECTORYs
The DIRECTORY where the translations can be found. See Log::Report::Lexicon::Index for the expected structure of such DIRECTORY.
The default is based on the location of the module which instantiates this translator. The filename of the module is stripped from its .pm extension, and used as directory name. Within that directory, there must be a directory named messages, which will be the root directory of a Log::Report::Lexicon::Index.
» Example: default lexicon directory
 # file xxx/perl5.8.8/My/Module.pm
 use Log::Report 'my-domain'
   , translator => Log::Report::Translator::POT->new;

 # lexicon now in xxx/perl5.8.8/My/Module/messages/

Accessors

$obj->charset

Returns the default charset, which can be overrule by the locale.

$obj->lexicons

Returns a list of Log::Report::Lexicon::Index objects, where the translation files may be located.

Translating

$obj->load( $domain, $locale )

Load the translation information in the text $domain for the indicated $locale. Multiple calls to load() should not cost significant performance: the data must be cached.

$obj->translate( $message, [$language, $ctxt] )

Returns the translation of the $message, a Log::Report::Message object, based on the current locale.

Translators are permitted to peek into the internal HASH of the message object, for performance reasons.
