| Catalog |
Globalization data is not just translated messages, it is validation rules, formats and a lot
more. Generally speaking is the `Catalog` class allowing us to retrieve and store globalized
data, providing low-level functionality to other classes. |
| Locale |
The `Locale` class provides methods to deal with locale identifiers. The locale
(here: _locale identifier_) is used to distinguish among different sets of common
preferences. |
| Message |
The `Message` class is concerned with an aspect of globalizing static message strings
throughout the framework and applications. When referring to message globalization the
phrase of "translating a message" is widely used. This leads to the assumption that it's
a single step process whereas it's a multi step one. A short description of each step is
given here in order to help understanding the purpose of this class through the context
of the process as a whole. |
| Multibyte |
The `Multibyte` class helps operating with UTF-8 encoded strings. Here
multibyte is synonymous to UTF-8 which is probably the most widespread
multibyte encoding in recent web application development. |
