NAME

       Padre::Locale::T - Provides _T for declaring translatable strings

SYNOPSIS

         use Padre::Locale::T;

         my $string = _T('This is a test');

DESCRIPTION

       Padre uses a function called _T to declare strings which should be translated by the
       translation team, but which should not be immediately localised in memory.

       This is done primarily because the active language may change between when a string is
       initially stored in memory and when it is show to a user.

       The reason we use _T is that most translation tools in the wild that scan the code for a
       program detect the use of a C macro calls _T that does immediate translation.

       By creating a null pass through function called _T and the linguistic similarity of Perl
       to C, we can take advantage of the way translation tools detect translatable strings while
       keeping the proper Wx::gettext function for strings which do need to be translated
       immediately.

       The _T function used to live in Padre::Util, but as that module gradually bloated it was
       increasing the code of getting the _T function dramatically.

       Padre::Locale::T declares only this one function, and will only ever do so.

       Because of this, it also exports by default (although you are still welcome to declare the
       import if you wish.

FUNCTIONS

   "_T"
       The "_T" function is used for strings that you do not want to translate immediately, but
       you will be translating later (multiple times).

       The only reason this function needs to exist at all is so that the translation tools can
       identify the string it refers to as something that needs to be translated.

       Functionally, this function is just a direct pass-through with no effect.
