mini18n(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie 💖 welcome to mini18n(3) from the mini18n manual. This page is literally about mini18n — it translates strings ✨. It's giving translator era, and honestly? Iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <mini18n.h>

const char * mini18n(const char * source);

const char * mini18n_with_conversion(const char * source, unsigned int
format);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so mini18n() is lowkey doing a search-and-rescue mission for strings 🔎. It searches for source in the currently loaded translation, and if it finds it, it returns the translated value. Periodt.

When it does find it, the returned string points to a mini18n internal buffer — so bestie, it should not be free()'d or modified in any way. That's a hard no 🙅. If source is not found, or if no translation is loaded, then the source string itself is returned. No cap.

mini18n_with_conversion() does the same thing as mini18n(), but it also converts the returned string to the specified format. Another difference: the returned string is always converted to the format. For now, the only possible value of format is MINI18N_UTF16, and it is only implemented for the Windows operating system. iykyk 🪟.

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

The translated string if successful — the original spells it successul, and we're keeping that typo energy fr fr 😭 — and the source string otherwise.
