}}}Sets the default timezone used by all date/time functions.

date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
}}}Adds globalization specific settings to the environment.
The settings for the current locale, time zone and currency are kept as environment
settings. This allows for _centrally_ switching, _transparently_ setting and retrieving
globalization related settings.
The environment settings are:
- `'locale'` The effective locale.
- `'locales'` Application locales available mapped to names. The available locales are used
to negotiate he effective locale, the names can be used i.e. when displaying
a menu for choosing the locale to users.{{{
$locale = 'en';
$locales = array(
'de' => 'Deutsch',
'en' => 'English',
'ja' => '日本語',
'pt' => 'Português'
);
Environment::set('production', compact('locale', 'locales'));
Environment::set('development', compact('locale', 'locales'));
Environment::set('test', array('locale' => 'en', 'locales' => array('en' => 'English')));
}}}Globalization (g11n) catalog configuration. The catalog allows for obtaining and writing globalized data. Each configuration can be adjusted through the following settings:
- `'adapter' The name of a supported adapter. The builtin adapters are _memory_ (a
simple adapter good for runtime data and testing), _gettext_, _cldr_ (for
interfacing with Unicode's common locale data repository) and _code_ (used mainly for
extracting message templates from source code).
- `'path'` All adapters with the exception of the _memory_ adapter require a directory
which holds the data.
- `'scope'` If you plan on using scoping i.e. for accessing plugin data separately you
need to specify a scope for each configuration, except for those using the _memory_,
_php_ or _gettext_ adapter which handle this internally.{{{
Catalog::config(array(
'runtime' => array(
'adapter' => 'Memory'
),
'app' => array(
'adapter' => 'Gettext',
'path' => LITHIUM_APP_PATH . '/resources/g11n'
),
'lithium' => array(
'adapter' => 'Php',
'path' => LITHIUM_LIBRARY_PATH . '/lithium/g11n/resources/php'
)
) + Catalog::config());
}}}Integration with `Inflector`.
{{{
// Inflector::rules('transliteration', Catalog::read(true, 'inflection.transliteration', 'en'));
/*
* Inflector configuration examples. If your application has custom singular or plural rules, or
* extra non-ASCII characters to transliterate, you can configure that by uncommenting the lines
* below.
*/
// Inflector::rules('singular', array('rules' => array('/rata/' => '\1ratus')));
// Inflector::rules('singular', array('irregular' => array('foo' => 'bar')));
//
// Inflector::rules('plural', array('rules' => array('/rata/' => '\1ratum')));
// Inflector::rules('plural', array('irregular' => array('bar' => 'foo')));
//
// Inflector::rules('transliteration', array('/É|Ê/' => 'E'));
//
// Inflector::rules('uninflected', 'bord');
// Inflector::rules('uninflected', array('bord', 'baird'));
}}}Integration with `View`. Embeds message translation aliases into the `View`
class (or other content handler, if specified) when content is rendered. This
enables translation functions, i.e. `<?=$t("Translated content"); ?>`.{{{
Media::applyFilter('_handle', function($self, $params, $chain) {
$params['handler'] += array('outputFilters' => array());
$params['handler']['outputFilters'] += Message::aliases();
return $chain->next($self, $params, $chain);
});
}}}Integration with `Validator`. You can load locale dependent rules into the `Validator` by specifying them manually or retrieving them with the `Catalog` class.
{{{
foreach (array('phone', 'postalCode', 'ssn') as $name) {
Validator::add($name, Catalog::read(true, "validation.{$name}", 'en_US'));
}
}}}Intercepts dispatching processes in order to set the effective locale by using the locale of the request or if that is not available retrieving a locale preferred by the client.
{{{
ActionDispatcher::applyFilter('_callable', function($self, $params, $chain) {
$request = $params['request'];
$controller = $chain->next($self, $params, $chain);
if ($request->locale) {
Environment::set(Environment::get(), array('locale' => $request->locale));
}
return $controller;
});
ConsoleDispatcher::applyFilter('_callable', function($self, $params, $chain) {
$request = $params['request'];
$command = $chain->next($self, $params, $chain);
if (!$request->locale) {
$request->params['locale'] = Locale::preferred($request);
}
Environment::set(Environment::get(), array('locale' => $request->locale));
return $command;
});
