INSTRUCTIONS

Just drop into your modules folder or use the box-cli to install

box install cbi18n

This module registers the following models in WireBox:

i18n@cbi18n : Helper with all kinds of methods for localization
resourceService@cbi18n : Service to interact with language resource bundles - You may override this service by providing a customResourceService key in your configuration. More information on custom resource services.

Settings

You can add a i18n structure of settings to your ColdBox.cfc or to any other module configuration file: ModuleConfig.cfc to configure the module:

i18n = {
    // The base path of the default resource bundle to load
    defaultResourceBundle = "includes/i18n/main",
    // The default locale of the application
    defaultLocale = "en_US",
    // The storage to use for user's locale: session, client, cookie, request
    localeStorage = "cookie",
    // The value to show when a translation is not found
    unknownTranslation = "**NOT FOUND**",
    logUnknownTranslation = true | false,
    // Extra resource bundles to load
    resourceBundles = {
        alias = "path"
    },
    //Specify a Custom Resource Service, which should implement the methods or extend the base i18n ResourceService ( e.g. - using a database to store i18n )
    customResourceService = ""
};

Each module in your ColdBox Application can have its own resource bundles that can be loaded by this module.

Mixin Helpers

The module registers the following methods for handlers/layouts/views/interceptors:

/**
* Get the user's currently set locale or default locale according to settings
*/
function getFWLocale()

/**
* Set the locale for a specific user
* @locale The locale to set. Must be Java Style Standard: en_US, if empty it will default to the default locale
* @dontLoadRBFlag Flag to load the resource bundle for the specified locale (If not already loaded)
* 
* @return i18n Service
*/
function setFWLocale( string locale="", boolean dontloadRBFlag=false )

/**
* Retrieve a resource from a resource bundle with replacements or auto-loading
* @resource The resource (key) to retrieve from the main loaded bundle.
* @defaultValue A default value to send back if the resource (key) not found
* @locale Pass in which locale to take the resource from. By default it uses the user's current set locale
* @values An array, struct or simple string of value replacements to use on the resource string
* @bundle The bundle alias to use to get the resource from when using multiple resource bundles. By default the bundle name used is 'default'
*/
function getResource(
    required resource,
    defaultValue,
    locale,
    values,
    bundle,
)

// Alias to getResource
function $r()

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ." Romans 5:5
