NAME

       LedgerSMB::Locale - Locale handling class for LedgerSMB

SYNOPSIS

       Locale support module for LedgerSMB.  Uses Locale::Maketext::Lexicon as a base.

METHODS

       get_handle ($language_code)
           Returns a locale handle for accessing the other methods.  Inherited from
           Locale::Maketext.

       text ($string, @params)
           Returns the translation for the given string.  This is a legacy wrapper that merely
           calls $self->maketext.

       date ($myconfig, $date, $longformat)
           Returns the given date after formatting it.  $longformat is a ternary flag that
           determines how the date is formatted.  If $longformat is true, the date will be given
           in the form of "_('September') 23 2007".  If $longformat is false but defined, the
           date will be in the form of "_('Sep') 23 2007" unless the date is given in the form
           'yyyy.mm.dd', in which case it is returned as-is.  If $longformat is not defined, the
           date will be output in the format specified by $myconfig->{dateformat}.
