PHP localization class
A simple PHP class for handling translations.
Usage
Include the class
require __DIR__ . '/localization.class.php';
$lang = new Localization();
Add languages files formatted as JSON to the languages folder
/languages
en.json
nl.json
fr.json
...
Example of the nl.json language file:
{
"This is in English": "Dit is in het Nederlands"
}
Create a language switcher
foreach ($lang->getAllLocales() as $locale) :
echo '<li>';
echo '<a href="'. $lang->buildQueryString($locale) .'">';
echo $lang->getLocaleNative($locale);
echo '</a>';
echo '</li>';
endforeach;
Translate a sting:
echo $lang->translate('This is in English');
If the $_GET['lang'] parameter is set to nl this wil echo: Dit is in het Nederlands
