Hi all, One year ago, some Italian Perl Mongers started "pod2it" project, the perldoc italian translation project (pod2it.sourceforge.net, leaded by Stefano Rodighiero <[email protected]>). We believe that the translations will be useful if these can be easily distributed and installed. So it is logical to put it into a Perl package. Which namespace? We have chosen POD2::<country code> namespace and specifically POD2::IT for the italian translations. You can see the alpha package at http://modperl.it/POD2-IT-0.02.tar.gz After installing it, you could see the italian pod translations with: perldoc POD2::IT::perlfunc In the same manner after installing a (virtual) french package: perldoc POD2::FR::perlfunc There is also an idea to patch perldoc in order to add a switch (like -L) for directly see localized translation: perldoc -L it perlfunc We've called it POD2::IT, but any suggestions about the module and/or namespace are welcome. Thanks in advance. - Enrico tranlsator member of "pod2it" - the perldoc translation italian project http://pod2it.sourceforge.net
