# locale.library — Internationalisation
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
`locale.library` (OS 2.1+) provides language-aware string lookup, date/number formatting, and character classification for internationalised applications.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Core Pattern
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
struct Library *LocaleBase = OpenLibrary("locale.library", 38);
|
|
struct Catalog *cat = OpenCatalog(NULL, "myapp.catalog",
|
|
OC_BuiltInLanguage, "english",
|
|
TAG_DONE);
|
|
|
|
/* Get localised string: */
|
|
STRPTR str = GetCatalogStr(cat, MSG_HELLO, "Hello"); /* fallback */
|
|
|
|
CloseCatalog(cat);
|
|
CloseLibrary(LocaleBase);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Locale-Aware Formatting
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
struct Locale *loc = OpenLocale(NULL); /* user's default */
|
|
|
|
/* Format a date: */
|
|
FormatDate(loc, "%A %e %B %Y", &datestamp, &hook);
|
|
|
|
/* Format a number: */
|
|
/* Uses loc->loc_GroupSeparator, loc->loc_DecimalPoint */
|
|
|
|
CloseLocale(loc);
|
|
```
