\page locale_intro Introduction to the Locale Kiit
|
|
|
|
The Locale Kit provides a set of tools for internationalizing, localizing and
|
|
translating your software. This includes not only replacing string with their
|
|
translations at runtime, but also more complex tasks such as formating numbers,
|
|
dates, and times in a way that match the locale preferences of the user.
|
|
|
|
The main way to access locale data is through the be_locale_roster. This is a
|
|
global instance of the BLocaleRoster class, storing the data for localizing an
|
|
application according to the user's preferred settings. The locale roster also
|
|
acts as a factory to instanciate most of the other classes. However, there are
|
|
some cases where you will need to instanciate another class by yourself, to
|
|
use it with custom settings. For example, you may need to format a date with
|
|
a fixed format in english for including in an e-mail header, as it is the only
|
|
format accepted there.
