The initial functionality covers globalization support for Ada.

Globalization, (normally abbreviated to simply g11n) covers support within the source code for multiple languages (this is termed internationalization or i18n) and the ability to supply translations for strings used in an application (localization or l10n).

Globalization is supported by the ZanyBlue text library by providing routines to access and format messages in Ada sources (the i18n aspect of g11n) and localization via the externalization of messages strings to properties files.

Globalization is supported by the ZanyBlue text library by providing routines to access and format messages in Ada sources (the i18n aspect of g11n) and localization via the externalization of messages strings to properties files.

This is an Ada library currently targeting localization support for Ada (along the lines of Java properties) with supporting message formatting and built-in localization for about 20 locales.

The properties files are compiled into Ada sources built with your application and use to access application messages at run-time.

The run-time locale is used to select localized messages, if they are available.
