Hey bestie 💖 welcome to the Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Auto(3) page — yes, the header is doing that Locale:...on::Auto(3) thing, and it’s a User Contributed Perl Documentation moment. This is a Locale::Maketext helper, and honestly it’s giving “prototype now, localize later” energy. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Locale::Maketext::Lexicon::Auto — Auto fallback lexicon for Maketext. Slay, that’s the whole name. 👑

🌸 VERSION 🌸

It’s version 1.00, bestie. Periodt. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay so here’s the setup, literally:

package Hello::I18N;
use base 'Locale::Maketext';
use Locale::Maketext::Lexicon {
    en => ['Auto'],
    # ... other languages
};

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This module builds a simple Lexicon hash that contains nothing but:

(
    '_AUTO' => 1)

That tells Locale::Maketext that no localizing is needed — just use the lookup key as the returned string. Iconic. ✨

It is especially useful if you’re starting to prototype a program, and do not want to deal with the localization files yet. It’s giving lowkey genius. 🧚

⚠️ CAVEATS ⚠️

Okay but real talk: if the key to ->maketext begins with a _, Locale::Maketext will still throw an exception. Yep. 😭 See "CONTROLLING LOOKUP FAILURE" in Locale::Maketext for how to prevent it.
