mini18n_set_domain(3)

✨ NAME ✨

mini18n_set_locale, mini18n_set_domain — load translations 💖

okay bestie, this is the mini18n page (yes that's the manual name, we're just folding it in here at the top like a little name tag 🎀) and it's literally just two lil functions whose whole job is loading up your translations. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <mini18n.h>

int mini18n_set_locale(const char * filepath);

int mini18n_set_domain(const char * dirpath);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So mini18n_set_locale() does the thing where it loads a translation from the exact filepath you hand it. one file, one path, no detective work required. 💅

Then there's mini18n_set_domain(), which is the ✨main character✨ of the two because it's out here matching the system language for you. the way it works is it goes hunting for the translation file inside the directory you pass as dirpath. and listen — if dirpath is NULL, it just looks in the current directory instead. lowkey convenient ngl 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

Both of these return 0 if everything went well, and -1 if it didn't. that's it, that's the whole vibe check — zero is the slay outcome, negative one is the 😭 outcome.

fr fr, that's the entire page. no cap, it's short and it ate.

bye bestie, go load some translations 💖
