Translating messages


In this example, we translate messages in several languages. We use the language files of several multilingual applications. We use all the available adapters. We also use a custom adapter.

Components used in this example
MyTranslate MyAdapter MyLocale MyXtbAdapter MyHtml Entry point HTML | Try it | View source code
Working with translations

class MyTranslate
{
Processing the translations
  • We get the adapter, the language file, the message, and the action to perform.
  • We set the cache.
  • We verify the locale or we search the locale.
  • We get the adapter parameters.
  • We instantiate the adapter. The translation files are added individually as needed or scanned automatically.
  • We get the messages to translate in the default locale of the adapter.
  • We execute the action.
  • If we catch an exception, we return the error message.

    public function process()
    {
        // We get the adapter, the language file, the message, and the action to perform.
        list($source, $locale, $message, $topMessages, $useSimilar, $useDefault,
            $action, $disableNotices) = $this->_getParameters();

        $available = array();
        $messages = array();

        try {
            // We set the cache.
            $this->_setCache();

            // We verify the locale or we search the locale.
            $locale = Zend_Locale::findLocale($locale);

            // We get the adapter parameters.
            list($adapter, $dir, $default, $pattern, $file, $useMsgKey, $options) =
                MyAdapter::parseSource($source, $disableNotices);

            // We instantiate the adapter.
            // The translation files are added individually as needed or scanned automatically.
            if ($file) {
                list($translate, $available) = MyAdapter::setFileTranslate(
                    $adapter, $dir, $locale, $default, $options, $useSimilar, $file);
            } else {
                list($translate, $available) = MyAdapter::setScanTranslate(
                    $adapter, $dir, $locale, $default, $options, $useSimilar);
            }

            // We get the messages to translate in the default locale of the adapter.
            $messages = MyAdapter::getMessages(
                $translate, $default, $useMsgKey, $topMessages) and
            isset($messages[$message]) or $message = key($messages);

            // We execute the action.
            switch($action) {
                case 'clearCache':
                case 'getCache':
                case 'hasCache':
                    $result = Zend_Translate::$action();
                    break;

                case 'getAdapter':
                case 'getList':
                case 'getLocale':
                case 'getMessageIds':
                case 'getMessages':
                case 'getOptions':
                case 'toString':
                    $result = $translate->$action();
                    break;

                case 'isAvailable':
                    $result = $translate->isAvailable($locale);
                    break;

                case 'isTranslated':

                    }
                    break;

                case 'view':
                    $pattern = str_replace('LOCALE', $locale, $pattern);
                    $pattern = str_replace('FILE', $file, $pattern);
                    @list($view) = glob("$dir/$pattern");
                    $result = $view? file_get_contents($view) : 'NO FILE!';
                    break;

                case 'translate':
                default:
                    if ($messages) {
                        $result = MyAdapter::translate($translate, $message,
                            $messages, $locale, $default, $useDefault);
                    }  else {
                        $result = 'Language file empty!';
                    }
            }

        } catch (Exception $e) {
            // If we catch an exception, we return the error message.
            $result = $e->getMessage();
        }

        return array($source, $locale, $message, $topMessages, $useSimilar, $useDefault,
            $action, $disableNotices, $available, $messages, $result);
    }
Extraction of the parameters from the GET request

    private function _getParameters()
    {
        $source = isset($_GET['source'])? $_GET['source'] : null;
        $locale = empty($_GET['locale'])? null : $_GET['locale'];
        $useSimilar = empty($_GET)? 1 : !empty($_GET['use-similar']);
        $useDefault = empty($_GET)? 0 : !empty($_GET['use-default']);

        $message = isset($_GET['message'])? $_GET['message'] : null;
        $topMessages = empty($_GET)? 1 : !empty($_GET['top-messages']);

        $action = isset($_GET['action'])? $_GET['action'] : null;
        $disableNotices = empty($_GET)? 1 : !empty($_GET['disable-notices']);

        return array($source, $locale, $message, $topMessages, $useSimilar, $useDefault,
            $action, $disableNotices);
    }
Setting the cache

    private function _setCache()
    {
        $frontendOptions = array('lifetime' => 3600 * 24, 'automatic_serialization' => true);
        $backendOptions = array('cache_dir' => sys_get_temp_dir());
        $cache = Zend_Cache::factory('Core', 'File', $frontendOptions, $backendOptions);

        Zend_Locale::setCache($cache);
        Zend_Translate::setCache($cache);
    }
