SYNOPSIS
use Locale::KeyedText;
use Rosetta;
# do work ...
my $translator = Locale::KeyedText->new_translator(
['Rosetta::Engine::Generic::L::', 'SQL::Routine::SQLBuilder::L::',
'SQL::Routine::SQLParser::L::', 'Rosetta::L::', 'SQL::Routine::L::'], ['en'] );
# do work ...
eval {
# do work with Rosetta, which may throw an exception ...
};
if( my $error_message_object = $@ ) {
# examine object here if you want and programmatically recover...
# or otherwise do the next few lines...
my $error_user_text = $translator->translate_message( $error_message_object );
# display $error_user_text to user by some appropriate means
}
# continue working, which may involve using Rosetta some more ...DESCRIPTION
The Rosetta::Engine::Generic::L::en Perl 5 module contains localization data for the Rosetta::Engine::Generic module. It complements the Rosetta::L::en module, which should interpret most messages that Generic throws; Generic::L just contains extra or overridden messages specific to Generic. It is designed to be interpreted by Locale::KeyedText.
This class is optional and you can still use Rosetta::Engine::Generic effectively without it, especially if you plan to either show users different error messages than this class defines, or not show them anything because you are "handling it".
SYNTAX
This class does not export any functions or methods, so you need to call them using object notation. This means using Class->function() for functions and $object->method() for methods. If you are inheriting this class for your own modules, then that often means something like $self->method().
FUNCTIONS
get_text_by_key( MSG_KEY )
my $user_text_template = Rosetta::Engine::Generic::L::en->get_text_by_key( 'foo' );This function takes a Message Key string in MSG_KEY and returns the associated user text template string, if there is one, or undef if not.
