PortableObject catalog

How to use the catalog

Once you have a catalog (for example after parsing it), you can get an entry.

Get an entry for a simple id

ICatalog catalog = GetCatalog();
var key = new PortableObjectKey("book");
var entry = catalog.GetEntry(key);

Get an entry for a simple id and a context

ICatalog catalog = GetCatalog();
var key = new PortableObjectKey("context.view", "book");
var entry = catalog.GetEntry(key);

Get an entry for pluralisation

ICatalog catalog = GetCatalog();
var key = new PortableObjectKey("context.view", "book", "books");
var entry = catalog.GetEntry(key);

Retrieve the translation for the entry

// has the entry translation defined?
var hasTranslation = entry.HasTranslation;

// gets the primary translation (or the key if the entry has no translation)
var translation = entry.GetTranslation();

// gets the plural form of the translation
// for a quantity
var pluralForm = entry.GetTranslation(quantity);
