Boost.Locale
|
Boost.Locale is a library that provides high quality localization facilities in a C++ way. It was originally designed a part of CppCMS - 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:
char
and wchar_t
char16_t
and 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: ICU - 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.
