# day-localization
The Fluent-based localization engine used by Day apps and framework components.
[Day](https://daybrite.dev/docs/) is a Rust framework for building apps with native desktop and
mobile controls, plus HTML controls on the web.
> [!NOTE]
> **Usually an indirect dependency.** You are unlikely to import this crate directly in an app.
> [`day-core`](https://github.com/daybrite/day/tree/main/crates/day-core) and
> [`day-localization-ui`](https://github.com/daybrite/day/tree/main/crates/day-localization-ui) use
> it as part of their implementation.
It manages locale selection and message catalogs, including separate catalogs for reusable
extensions. App code should use generated string accessors;
[`day-localization-ui`](https://github.com/daybrite/day/tree/main/crates/day-localization-ui)
connects localized text to UI updates.
