NAME

Astro::App::Satpass2::Locale::C - Define the C locale for Astro::App::Satpass2

SYNOPSIS

 my $c_locale = require Astro::App::Satpass2::Locale::C;

DESCRIPTION

This Perl module defines the C locale (which is the default locale )for Astro::App::Satpass2.

All you do with this is load it. On a successful load it returns the locale hash.

SUBROUTINES

None.

THE LOCALE DATA

The locale data are stored in a hash. The top-level key is always locale code. This is either a two-character language code, lower-case (e.g. 'en', a language code and upper-case country code delimited by an underscore (e.g. 'en_US', or 'C' for the default locale.

The data for each locale key are a reference to a hash. The keys of this hash are the names of Astro::App::Satpass2::FormatValue formats (e.g. {azimuth}), the names of top-level reporting templates preceded by a dash (e.g. {'-flare'}, or the special keys '{+message}' (error messages) or '{+template}' (templates).

The content of these second level hashes varies with its type, as follows:

Format Effectors (e.g. {azimuth})

These are hashes containing data relevant to that format effector. The {title} key contains the title for that format effector. Other keys relevant to the specific formatter may also appear, such as the {table} key in {phase}, which defines the names of phases in terms of phase angle. These extra keys are pretty much ad-hoc as required by the individual format effector. In general they are cascades of HASH and/or ARRAY references, though the last can be a CODE reference. The HASH and ARRAY references are resolved one at a time using successive __localize() arguments. A CODE reference is resolved by calling it passing the current __locale() argument, and the original __locale() call's invocant argument (or undef if none). See the almanac definition above for an example.

Top-level reporting (e.g. {'-flare'}

The only key defined at the moment is {string}, whose content is a hash reference. This hash is keyed by text appearing as the values in Astro::App::Satpass2::FormatValue literal, missing, and title arguments, and the corresponding values are the translations of that text into the relevant locale.

For example, a Spanish localization for {'-flare'} might be something like

 {
   es => {
     string => {
       night => 'noche',
       ...
     }
   }
 }

{'+message'}

The value of this key is a hash whose keys are message text as coded in this program, and whose values are the message text as it should appear in the relevant locale. These are typically to be consumed by the locale system's __message() subroutine.

{'+template'}

The value of this key is a hash whose keys are template names used by Astro::App::Satpass2::Format::Template, and whose values are the templates themselves in the relevant locale.
