Globality

That's a possible structure of the whole thing:


SHARED_I18N_LOCALIZATOR => I18N_LOCALIZATOR => I18N_DATASTRUCTURE => I18N_MO_PARSER

|

CLASS_TO_LOCALIZE


The CLASS_TO_LOCALIZE simply inherits from our SHARED_I18N_LOCALIZATOR, which only purpose is to return always the same "localizator: I18N_LOCALIZATOR".

This class will in turn ask the archive for the translated strings, and at the end the mo_parser will be used if the string is not already in memory (actually for the initial filling of the datastructure).


SHARED_I18N_LOCALIZATOR

  • translator: I18N_LOCALIZATOR
  • t(string): STRING
  • tn(string, args): STRING (or what you want)

t and tn are interfaces to the translator


I18N_LOCALIZATOR

  • archive: I18N_DATASTRUCTURE
  • ask(string): STRING (simple interface to ask the archive)
  • solve_template(string, args): STRING (function that compose a string from template+arguments)


I18N_DATASCTRUCTURE (already in place)

  • mo_parser: I18N_MO_PARSER
  • load(n) (interface to the parser)
  • translate(STRING): STRING (interface to the I18N_LOCALIZATOR)
  • data_structure: HASH|ARRAY (where the strings are effectively stored)


I18N_MO_PARSER (already in place)

  • open(file)
  • load(n): STRING
  • load_translated(n): STRING
  • load_hash_entry(n): STRING

Actually part of this structure is already in place, so take care of it when writing the localizator. Trosim 12:25, 24 May 2006 (CEST)
