[top] / zope / i18n / interfaces / IMessageCatalog

A catalog (mapping) of message ids to message text strings.

This interface provides a method for translating a message or message id, including text with interpolation. The message catalog basically serves as a fairly simple mapping object.

A single message catalog represents a specific language and domain. Therefore you will have the following constructor arguments:

language
The language of the returned messages. This is a read-only attribute.
domain
The translation domain for these messages. This is a read-only attribute. See ITranslationService.

When we refer to text here, we mean text that follows the standard Zope 3 text representation.

Note: The IReadMessageCatalog is the absolut minimal version required for the TranslationService to function.
