Time::Duration::Locale - time duration string chosen by user's language preferences
use Time::Duration::Locale; print "next update ",duration(150),"\n";
Time::Duration::Locale has the same interface as Time::Duration but chooses a language according to the user's locale settings. See examples/simple.pl for a complete program printing a duration in the locale language.
Time::Duration::Locale
Time::Duration
As of December 2013 available language modules on CPAN include
Time::Duration English Time::Duration::es Spanish Time::Duration::fr French Time::Duration::id Indonesian Time::Duration::ja Japanese Time::Duration::pl Polish Time::Duration::pt Portuguese Time::Duration::sv Swedish
If the user's locale setting is not one of these then the fallback is the English module.
Like Time::Duration, the following functions are exported by default
later() later_exact() earlier() earlier_exact() ago() ago_exact() from_now() from_now_exact() duration() duration_exact() concise()
The following extra functions are provided by Time::Duration::Locale and are not exported.
Time::Duration::Locale::setlocale ()
Set the language from the current locale environment variables etc. The current implementation uses I18N::LangTags::Detect.
I18N::LangTags::Detect
This is done automatically the first time one of the duration functions is called. But call it explicitly if you change the environment variables etc later and want Time::Duration::Locale to follow the new values.
$lang = Time::Duration::Locale::language ()
$module = Time::Duration::Locale::module ()
Time::Duration::Locale::language ($lang)
Time::Duration::Locale::module ($module)
Get or set the language to use, either in the form of a language code like "en" or "ja", or a module name like "Time::Duration" or "Time::Duration::ja".
undef means a language has not been chosen yet. When setting the language the necessary module must exist and is loaded if not already loaded.
undef
LANGUAGE, LANG, LC_MESSAGES etc, as per I18N::LangTags::Detect.
