         $c->stash->{title} = $c->maketext('Hello world!');
         $c->stash->{location} = $c->i18n_geocode->name;
         $c->stash->{language} = $c->language;
         $c->stash->{localtime} = $c->i18n_datetime_format_date->format_datetime(DateTime->now);
     }

    If you want to load all available roles and traits you can use
    CatalystX::I18N::Role::All as a shortcut.

     package MyApp::Catalyst;
     use strict;
     use warnings;
     use Catalyst qw/
         +CatalystX::I18N::Role::All
     /;

DESCRIPTION
    CatalystX::I18N provides a comprehensive toolset for
    internationalisation (I18N) and localisation ( N) of catalyst
    applications. This distribution consists of several modules that are
    designed to integrate seamlessly, but can be run idependently or
    replaced easily if necessarry.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::Role::Base

        Basic I18N role that glues everything toghether.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::Role::Maketext

        Adds a maketext capability to a Catalyst application.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::Role::DateTime

        Methods for localizing date and time informations.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::Role::NumberFormat

        Methods for localizing numbers.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::TraitFor::Request

        Extends a Catalyst::Request with usefull methods to help dealing
        with various I18N related information in HTTP requests.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::TraitFor::Response

        Adds a "Content-Language" header to the response.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::Role::GetLocale

        Tries best to determine the request locale.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::Model::Maketext

        Provides access to Locale::Maketext classes via Catalyst models.

    *   CatalystX::I18N::Maketext

        Wrapper arround Locale::Maketext. Can also be used outside of
        Catalyst.

CONFIGURATION
    In order to work properly, CatalystX::I18N will need find some values in
    your Catalyst configuration

     __PACKAGE__->config( 
         name    => 'MyApp', 
         I18N    => {
             default_locale     => 'de_AT',
             locales            => {
                 'de'               => {
                     inactive           => 1,
                     # Mark this locale as inactive. 
                     ...
                     # Arbitrary configuration parameters
                 },
                 'de_AT'            => {
                     inherits           => 'de',
                     # Inherit all settings form locale 'de'
                     ...
                 },
             }
         },
     );

    The configuration must be stored under the key "I18N". It should contain
    a hash of "locales" and optionally a default locale ("default_locale").

    Locales can be marked as "inactive". Inactive locales will not be
    selected by the "get_locale" in CatalystX::I18N::Role::GetLocale method.

    Locales can inherit from other locales ("inherits"). All configuration
    values from inherited locales will be copied, and add if you use
    CatalystX::I18N::Model::Maketext together with CatalystX::I18N::Maketext
    the generated lexicons will also inherit in the given order.

    Additional configuration values are defined by the various
    CatalystX::I18N::Role::Maketext::* plugins.

EXTENDING
    Extending the functionality of the CatalystX::I18N distribution is easy.

    E.g. writing a new plugin that does some processing when the locale
    changes

     package CatalystX::MyI18N::Plugin;
     use Moose::Role;
 
     after 'set_locale' => sub {
         my ($c,$locale) = @_;
         $c->do_someting($locale);
     };
 
     no Moose::Role;
     1;

    DateTime::Locale, DateTime::Format::CLDR, DateTime::TimeZone,
    HTTP::BrowserDetect and Locale::Geocode
