An abstract class that provides support for localized strings.

This abstract class provides the content to localized WStrings, by resolving the key to a string using the current application locale.

◆ evaluatePluralExpression()

int Wt::WLocalizedStrings::evaluatePluralExpression ( const std::string &  expression,
::uint64_t  n 
)
static

Utility method to evaluate a plural expression.

This evaluates C expressions such as used by ngettext for a particular value, which can be useful to implement plural key resolution.

resolvePluralKey()

◆ hibernate()

void Wt::WLocalizedStrings::hibernate ( )
virtual

Purges memory resources, if possible.

This is called afer event handling, and is an opportunity to conserve memory inbetween events, by freeing memory used for cached key/value bindings, if applicable.

The default implementation does nothing.

Reimplemented in Wt::WMessageResourceBundle, and Wt::WCombinedLocalizedStrings.

◆ resolveKey()

virtual LocalizedString Wt::WLocalizedStrings::resolveKey ( const WLocale locale,
const std::string &  key 
)
pure virtual

Resolves a key in the given locale.

This method is used by WString to obtain the UTF-8 value corresponding to a key in the given locale.

Returns a successful LocalizedString if the key could be resolved.

See also
WString::tr()

Implemented in Wt::WMessageResourceBundle, and Wt::WCombinedLocalizedStrings.

◆ resolvePluralKey()

LocalizedString Wt::WLocalizedStrings::resolvePluralKey ( const WLocale locale,
const std::string &  key,
::uint64_t  amount 
)
virtual

Resolves the plural form of a key in the given locale.

This method is used by WString to obtain the UTF-8 value corresponding to a key in the current locale, taking into account the possibility of multiple plural forms, and chosing the right plural form based on the amount passed.

Throws a std::logic_error if the underlying implementation does not provide support for plural internationalized strings.

Returns a successful LocalizedString if the key could be resolved.
