Documentation

Information

i18n will create a folder named "i18n" please make sure it is readable

Installation

  1. Via composer: composer require stantabcorp/i18n
  2. Via manually download and install

Initialization

In the i18n constructor your must-have 3 parameters:

  1. The language you want to display your website or true to use AutoDetect
  2. The default language
  3. An array of available languages
  4. An array of options

Example: Without AutoDetect:

$i18n = new i18n("en", "en", ["en", "fr"])

This will set the language to en (English), set the default language to en (English) and set that en (English) and fr (French) are available

With AutoDetect:

$i18n = new i18n(true, "en", ["en", "fr"])

This will set the language to AutoDetect, set the default language and set available language for AutoDetect

AutoDetect, use the Accept-Language HTTP Header to determine the best matching locale to use.

Usage

In order to get a translation you just need to:

$i18n->get("index_in_your_file");

If you want to use sections in your ini file use the following syntax:

$i18n->get("section_name[index_in_your_file]");
// OR
$i18n->get("section_name.index_in_your_file");

If you want to get the current language:

$i18n->getLang();

You want to change the language?

$i18n->setLang("language");

You don't want to use sprintf?! No problem:

$i18n->replace("string", [
    "string" => "strong"
]);

Want to change the translation folder on the fly?

$i18n->setFolder("path/to/the/new/folder");

Want to get the active folder?

$i18n->getFolder();

Want to set the available languages?

$i18n->setAvailableLanguages(array);

Want to get the available languages?

$i18n->getAvailableLanguage();

Now, let set and get the default language

$i18n->setDefaultLanguage("string");
$i18n->getDefaultLanguage();

File syntax

Sections are supported by i18n, see options to enable it

Example file:

word1 = "Some word"
word2 = "Some other word"

[section_name]
word1 = "A word in a section"
word2 = "Another word in the same section"

Options

The fourth parameter when initializing the i18n class is an array.
Accepted values are:

  • error, a boolean to enable or disable error throwing
  • sections, a boolean to enable or not sections in the ini files
  • path, to set a path for the translations

Twig Extension

i18n provide a simple Twig extension. To enable it, simply add a new extension to twig:

$i18nTwig = new i18nTwigExtension($i18n); // $i18n should be an instance of i18n\i18n
$twig->addExtension($i18nTwig);

In order to use it in a twig template, simply call (with the same syntax for section):

{{ i18n('index in your file') }}
