Lingua::String - Class to contain a string in many different languages
Version 0.03
Hold many strings in one object.
use Lingua::String; my $str = Lingua::String->new(); $str->fr('Bonjour Tout le Monde'); $str->en('Hello, World'); $ENV{'LANG'} = 'en_GB'; print "$str\n"; # Prints Hello, World $ENV{'LANG'} = 'fr_FR'; print "$str\n"; # Prints Bonjour Tout le Monde $LANG{'LANG'} = 'de_DE'; print "$str\n"; # Prints nothing $string = Lingua::String->new('hello'); # Initialises the 'current' language
Create a Lingua::String object.
use Lingua::String; my $str = Lingua::String->new({ 'en' => 'Here', 'fr' => 'Ici' });
Sets a string in a language.
$str->set({ string => 'House', lang => 'en' });
Autoload will do this for you as
$str->en('House');
Returns the string in the language requested in the parameter. If that parameter is not given, the system language is used.
my $string = Lingua::String->new(en => 'boat', fr => 'bateau'); print $string->as_string(), "\n"; print $string->as_string('fr'), "\n"; print $string->as_string({ lang => 'en' }), "\n";
Turns the encapsulated strings into HTML entities
my $string = Lingua::String->new(en => 'study', fr => 'étude')->encode(); print $string->fr(), "\n"; # Prints étude

There's no decode() (yet) so you'll have to be extra careful to avoid double encoding.
