## Class TTranslate

Description

TTranslate class.

This component performs message/string translation. The translation source is set in the TGlobalization handler. The following example demonstrated a simple message translation.

     <com:TTranslate Text="Goodbye" />

Depending on the culture set on the page, the phrase "Goodbye" will be translated.

The Parameters property can be use to add name values pairs for substitution. Substrings enclosed with "{" and "}" in the translation message are consider as the parameter names during substitution lookup. The following example will substitute the substring "{time}" with the value of the parameter attribute "Parameters.time=<%= time() %>. Note that the value of the parameter named "time" is evaluated.

     <com:TTranslate Parameters.time=<%= time() %> >
       The unix-time is "{time}".
     </com:TTranslate>

More complex string substitution can be applied using the TTranslateParameter component.

Namespace: System.I18N
