CGI::App supports internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) methods, allowing developers to create web applications that can support multiple languages and cultural contexts.
To begin using the plugin, you can either specify a list of individual methods or use one of the groups: :std, :max or :min. By using use CGI::Application::Plugin::I18N qw( :std ); you can import the necessary methods.
Once the plugin has been imported, within your setup, cgiapp_init, cgiapp_prerun or specific runmode routine you can add the line $self->i18n_config();. Alternatively, you can also use $self->i18n_config( %options ); to use your own options. Keep in mind that %options are the same as for Locale::Maketext::Simple. If no options are passed, the module uses the following default options: - DEFAULT_OPTIONS = ( Path => "$RealBin/I18N", Style => 'gettext', Export => '_maketext', Decode => 1, Encoding => '', ) Note that Export must remain as _maketext for this module to function properly.
If you wish to use maketext style markup in your lexicons, you may use the following line: $self->i18n_config( Style => 'maketext' ); Additionally, to localize text, you can use the localtext method: print $self->localtext( 'Hello World!' );. The process is simple and the plugin is lightweight. Overall, CGI::Application::Plugin::I18N is a handy module that can come in handy for developers who want to control the localization of text with ease.
