NAME

       CGI::FormBuilder::Messages - Localized message support for FormBuilder

SYNOPSIS

           use CGI::FormBuilder::Messages;

           my $mesg = CGI::FormBuilder::Messages->new(
                           $file || \%hash || ':locale'
                      );

           print $mesg->js_invalid_text;

DESCRIPTION

       This module handles localization for FormBuilder. It is invoked by specifying the
       "messages" option to FormBuilder's  "new()" method.  Currently included with FormBuilder
       are several different locales:

           English (default)    en_US
           Danish               da_DK
           German/Deutsch       de_DE
           Spanish/Espanol      es_ES
           Japanese             ja_JP
           Norwegian/Norvegian  no_NO
           Turkish              tr_TR
           Russian              ru_RU

       To enable automatic localization that will detect the client's locale and use one of these
       included locales, simply turn on "auto" messages:

           my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(messages => 'auto');

       Or, to use a specific locale, specify it as ":locale"

           # Force Danish messages
           my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(messages => ':da_DK');

       In addition to these included locales, you can completely customize your own messages.
       Each message that FormBuilder outputs is given a unique key.  You can selectively override
       FormBuilder messages by specifying a different message string for a given message key.

       To do so, first create a file and give it a unique name. In this example we will use a
       shortened locale as the suffix:

           # messages.en
           # FormBuilder messages for "en" locale
           js_invalid_start      %s error(s) were found in your form:\n
           js_invalid_end        Fix these fields and try again!
           js_invalid_select     - You must choose an option for the "%s" field\n

       Then, specify this file to "new()".

           my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(messages => 'messages.en');

       Alternatively, you could specify this directly as a hashref:

           my $form = CGI::FormBuilder->new(
                 messages => {
                     js_invalid_start  => '%s error(s) were found in your form:\n',
                     js_invalid_end    => 'Fix these fields and try again!',
                     js_invalid_select => '- Choose an option from the "%s" list\n',
                 }
              );

       Although in practice this is rarely useful, unless you just want to tweak one or two
       things.

       This system is easy, and there are many many messages that can be customized.  Here is a
       list of messages, along with their default values:

           form_invalid_input          Invalid entry
           form_invalid_checkbox       Check one or more options
           form_invalid_file           Invalid filename
           form_invalid_password       Invalid entry
           form_invalid_radio          Choose an option
           form_invalid_select         Select an option from this list
           form_invalid_textarea       Please fill this in
           form_invalid_default        Invalid entry

           form_invalid_text           %s error(s) were encountered with your submission.
                                       Please correct the fields %shighlighted%s below.

           form_required_text          Fields that are %shighlighted%s are required.

           form_confirm_text           Success! Your submission has been received %s.

           form_select_default         -select-
           form_grow_default           Additional %s
           form_other_default          Other:
           form_reset_default          Reset
           form_submit_default         Submit

           js_noscript                 Please enable JavaScript or use a newer browser.
           js_invalid_start            %s error(s) were encountered with your submission:
           js_invalid_end              Please correct these fields and try again.

           js_invalid_checkbox         - Check one or more of the "%s" options
           js_invalid_default          - Invalid entry for the "%s" field
           js_invalid_file             - Invalid filename for the "%s" field
           js_invalid_input            - Invalid entry for the "%s" field
           js_invalid_multiple         - Select one or more options from the "%s" list
           js_invalid_password         - Invalid entry for the "%s" field
           js_invalid_radio            - Choose one of the "%s" options
           js_invalid_select           - Select an option from the "%s" list
           js_invalid_textarea         - Please fill in the "%s" field

           mail_confirm_subject        %s Submission Confirmation
           mail_confirm_text           Your submission has been received %s, and will be processed shortly.
           mail_results_subject        %s Submission Results

       The "js_" tags are used in JavaScript alerts, whereas the "form_" tags are used in HTML
       and templates managed by FormBuilder.

       In some of the messages, you will notice a %s "printf" format. This is because these
       messages will include certain details for you. For example, the "js_invalid_start" tag
       will print the number of errors if you include the %s format tag. Of course, this is
       optional, and you can leave it out.

       The best way to get an idea of how these work is to experiment a little.  It should become
       obvious really quickly.
