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}.
