Features
{}
  • init
    Initialise with default values.
{ANY}
{ANY}
{ANY}
  • translation (message: STRING): E_
    Translation of message into current locale
    The translation is looked up in the default text domain.

init
effective procedure
{}
top
Initialise with default values.
set_environment_variable (variable: STRING, value: STRING)
deferred procedure
{ANY}
top
Try to assign the value to the system environment variable (like SYSTEM.set_environment_variable).
Changes to language variables (such as LANGUAGE, LC_xxx, LANG) immediately affect the language of xxx_translation functions (unlike SYSTEM.set_environment_variable).
require
  • variable /= Void
  • value /= Void
set_message_locale (locale_name: STRING)
deferred procedure
{ANY}
top
Set the locale (roughly, the language) in which the program should output messages.
The locale_name should have the following form: 
  language[_territory][.codeset]
The territory field is usually a country name
For instance, en_US would be a typical locale_name.
require
  • not locale_name.is_empty
ensure
set_default_message_locale
deferred procedure
{ANY}
top
Try to read the default locale in the environment (environment variable, register, ...)
translation (message: STRING): E_
deferred function
{ANY}
top
Translation of message into current locale
The translation is looked up in the default text domain.
See also: set_message_locale
require ensure
domain_translation (domain_name: STRING, message: STRING): E_
deferred function
{FILTER_GET_TEXT}
top
Translation of message into current locale
The translation is looked up in the text domain domain_name.
See also: set_message_locale
require
register_domain (domain_name: STRING)
deferred procedure
{FILTER_GET_TEXT}
top
Used by a FILTER_GET_TEXT to let the filtered GET_TEXT know that it will use the text domain domain_name.
message_locale: STRING
deferred function
{ANY}
top
The locale (roughly, the language) in which the program should output messages.
is_message_locale_set: BOOLEAN
deferred function
{ANY}
top
ensure
text_domain: STRING
deferred function
{ANY}
top
The default text domain (namespace in which messages are looked up)
is_text_domain_set: BOOLEAN
deferred function
{ANY}
top
Was a default text domain set?
ensure
is_text_domain_set_up (domain_name: STRING): BOOLEAN
deferred function
{ANY}
top
Is Current ready to translate messages from domain domain_name?
The precise way of setting up a domain varies between implementations but will typically involve loading a message catalog.
require
  • domain_name /= Void
text_domain_code_set (domain_name: STRING): STRING
deferred function
{ANY}
top
The encoding of the Result of xxx_translation
require
  • domain_name /= Void
