What is multilang

Support multilingualization.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'multilang'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install multilang

Usage

You will support multilingualization to following:

require 'multilang'

module Tokenizer
  class English

    # register Tokenizer::English to Tokenizer as English
    Multilang.register self

  end

  class Japanese

    # Class.#include is okay
    include Multilang

  end
end

You can use the multilingualized module to following:

english_tokenizer = Tokenizer[:en].new
japanese_tokenizer = Tokenizer['Japanese'].new

Register regardless name of class

By specifying :as option, you can register regardless name of class:

module Tokenizer
  class E
    Multilang.register self, :as => 'English'
  end

  class J

    # ISO639-2 or ISO639-1 is okay
    # (http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php)
    Multilang.register self, :as => :ja

  end
end

Process at getting the class (or module) first

By giving a block to the Multilang.#register, you can execute code arbitrarily at getting an object first from a multilingualized module:

module Tokenizer
  class English
    Multilang.register self do
      # execute once at getting first
    end
  end
end

By specifying :with option, you can call Kernel.#require:

module Tokenizer
  class English
    Multilang.register self, :with => 'tokenizer/en'
  end
end

Of course you can specify both a block and :with option.
