- \section main_intro What is Boost.Locale?
- Boost.Locale is a library that provides high quality
- localization facilities in a C++ way. It was originally designed
- a part of <a href="http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/">CppCMS</a> - C++ Web Framework
- project and then contributed to Boost.
- Boost.Locale gives powerful tools for development of cross platform
- localized software - the software that talks to user
- in its language.
- Provided Features:
- - Correct case conversion, case folding and normalization.
- - Collation (sorting), including support for 4 Unicode
- collation levels.
- - Date, time, timezone and calendar manipulations,
- formatting and parsing, including transparent support
- for calendars other than Gregorian.
- - Boundary analysis for characters, words, sentences and
- line-breaks.
- - Number formatting, spelling and parsing.
- - Monetary formatting and parsing.
- - Powerful message formatting (string translation)
- including support for plural forms, using GNU catalogs.
- - Character set conversion.
- - Transparent support for 8-bit character sets like Latin1
- - Support for \c char and \c wchar_t
- - Experimental support for C++0x \c char16_t and \c char32_t
- strings and streams.
- Boost.Locale enhances and unifies the standard library's API
- the way it becomes useful and convenient for development
- of cross platform and "cross-culture" software.
- In order to achieve this goal Boost.Locale uses
- the-state-of-the-art Unicode and Localization
- library: <a href="http://icu-project.org/">ICU</a> - International Components for Unicode.
- Boost.Locale creates the natural glue between the C++ locales
- framework, iostreams, and the powerful ICU library.
- Boost.Locale provides non-ICU based localization support as well.
- It is based on the operating system native API or on the standard
- C++ library support. Sacrificing some less important features,
- Boost.Locale becomes less powerful but lighter and easier to deploy
- and use library.
