Translations for multiple languages¶

The framework has functions to create the same pages in multiple languages from one view. Nothing outside the view needs to be changed to use this feature. The system is simple and can only match sentences to keys. Its not possible to do advanced stuff like getting plural forms automatically.

Defining keys¶

To define language keys, add a lang index to your view return array. In lang you can add multiple languages and keys to them.

return [
    "head" => function($opt) { ... },
    "body" => function($opt) { ... },
    "lang" => [
        "de" => [
            "roles" => "Rollen",
            "name" => "Name",
            "permissions" => "Berechtigungen",
            "permission" => "Berechtigung",
            "delete_confirm" => "Möchten Sie wirklich die Rolle löschen?",
            "delete" => "Rolle Löschen"
        ],
        "en" => [
            "roles" => "Roles",
            "name" => "Name",
            "permissions" => "Permissions",
            "permission" => "Permission",
            "delete_confirm" => "Do you really want to delete this role?",
            "delete" => "Delete role"
        ]
    ]
];

Keys can also be defined inside the layout. Then they will be available in all views using that layout. To do that simply, add this lang index in the return array of the layout.

Using keys¶

In the view you can access the keys with the lang method in opt.

<span><?php $opt["lang"]("roles") ?>: 5</span>

$opt["lang"]($key, $doEcho) will echo the value by default. If the second parameter is set to false, the value will be returned instead of echoed.
