| What is Boost.Locale?</h2> |
| <p>Boost.Locale is a library that provides high quality localization facilities in a C++ way. It was originally designed a part of <a href="http://cppcms.sourceforge.net/">CppCMS</a> - C++ Web Framework project and then contributed to Boost.</p> |
| <p>Boost.Locale gives powerful tools for development of cross platform localized software - the software that talks to user in its language.</p> |
| <p>Provided Features:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Correct case conversion, case folding and normalization.</li> |
| <li>Collation (sorting), including support for 4 Unicode collation levels.</li> |
| <li>Date, time, timezone and calendar manipulations, formatting and parsing, including transparent support for calendars other than Gregorian.</li> |
| <li>Boundary analysis for characters, words, sentences and line-breaks.</li> |
| <li>Number formatting, spelling and parsing.</li> |
| <li>Monetary formatting and parsing.</li> |
| <li>Powerful message formatting (string translation) including support for plural forms, using GNU catalogs.</li> |
| <li>Character set conversion.</li> |
| <li>Transparent support for 8-bit character sets like Latin1</li> |
| <li>Support for <code>char</code> and <code>wchar_t</code> </li> |
| <li>Experimental support for C++0x <code>char16_t</code> and <code>char32_t</code> strings and streams.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>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.</p> |
| <p>In order to achieve this goal Boost.Locale uses the-state-of-the-art Unicode and Localization library: <a href="http://icu-project.org/">ICU</a> - International Components for Unicode.</p> |
| <p>Boost.Locale creates the natural glue between the C++ locales framework, iostreams, and the powerful ICU library.</p> |
| <p>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.</p> |
