@class wxLocale
wxLocale class encapsulates all language-dependent settings and is a
generalization of the C locale concept.
In wxWidgets this class manages message catalogs which contain the translations
of the strings used to the current language.
For a list of the supported languages, please see ::wxLanguage enum values.
These constants may be used to specify the language in wxLocale::Init and
are returned by wxLocale::GetSystemLanguage.
@beginWxPerlOnly
In wxPerl you can't use the '_' function name, so
the @c Wx::Locale module can export the @c gettext and
@c gettext_noop under any given name.
@code
# this imports gettext ( equivalent to Wx::GetTranslation
# and gettext_noop ( a noop )
# into your module
use Wx::Locale qw(:default);
# ....
# use the functions
print gettext( "Panic!" );
button = Wx::Button-new( window, -1, gettext( "Label" ) );
@endcode
If you need to translate a lot of strings, then adding gettext( ) around
each one is a long task ( that is why _( ) was introduced ), so just choose
a shorter name for gettext:
@code
use Wx::Locale 'gettext' = 't',
'gettext_noop' = 'gettext_noop';
# ...
# use the functions
print t( "Panic!!" );
# ...
@endcode

The second form of this method takes two additional arguments,
@a msgIdLanguage and @a msgIdCharset.
@a msgIdLanguage specifies the language of "msgid" strings in source code

It is used if AddCatalog() cannot find any catalog for current language:
if the language is same as source code language, then strings from source
code are used instead.
@a msgIdCharset lets you specify the charset used for msgids in sources
in case they use 8-bit characters (e.g. German or French strings).
This argument has no effect in Unicode build, because literals in sources are
Unicode strings; you have to use compiler-specific method of setting the right
charset when compiling with Unicode.
By default (i.e. when you use the first form), msgid strings are assumed
to be in English and written only using 7-bit ASCII characters.
If you have to deal with non-English strings or 8-bit characters in the

wxLanguage identifier of the locale.

Combination of the following:
- wxLOCALE_LOAD_DEFAULT: Load the message catalog for the given locale
containing the translations of standard wxWidgets messages
automatically.
- wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING: Automatically convert message catalogs to
platform's default encoding. Note that it will do only basic
conversion between well-known pair like iso8859-1 and windows-1252 or
iso8859-2 and windows-1250. See @ref overview_nonenglish for
detailed description of this behaviour.
Note that this flag is meaningless in Unicode build.
@param name
The name of the locale. Only used in diagnostic messages.
@param short
The standard 2 letter locale abbreviation; it is used as the
directory prefix when looking for the message catalog files.
@param locale
The parameter for the call to setlocale().
Note that it is platform-specific.
@param bLoadDefault
May be set to @false to prevent loading of the message catalog for the
given locale containing the translations of standard wxWidgets messages.
This parameter would be rarely used in normal circumstances.
@param bConvertEncoding
May be set to @true to do automatic conversion of message catalogs to
platform's native encoding. Note that it will do only basic conversion
between well-known pair like iso8859-1 and windows-1252 or iso8859-2

This macro doesn't do anything in the program code -- it simply expands to

this is achieved using _() but that macro not only marks the string for
extraction but also expands into a wxGetTranslation() call which means that
it cannot be used in some situations, notably for static array
initialization.
Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as wxDateTime already
can be used to get the localized week day names already). If you write:
@code
static const char * const weekdays[] = { _("Mon"), ..., _("Sun") };

The code wouldn't compile because the function calls are forbidden in the
array initializer. So instead you should do this:
@code
static const char * const weekdays[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Mon"), ...,
wxTRANSLATE("Sun") };
...
// use wxGetTranslation(weekdays[n])

Note that although the code @b would compile if you simply omit
