i18n_message

Rizzen Yazston

Message system

The i18n_message crate contains the messaging system.

A message system that connects to a string data store, to obtain strings for the specified language using a string identifier, and formatting the string to replace any placeholders within the string with provided values.

The message is capable of caching retrieved strings that are prepared for placeholder replacement, thus can be reused without the need to parse the string for placeholders.

The message system makes use of all the other component crates that make up the i18n project. Ideally one only needs to use the meta crate i18n, as it includes all the crates including this i18n_message crate.

Acknowledgement

Stefano Angeleri for advice on various design aspects of implementing the components of the internationalisation project, and also providing the Italian translation of error message strings.
