Translator functions to use with gettext/gettext. Useful if you don't have the native gettext extension for php or want to avoid problems with it.

Installation

composer require gettext/translator

Translator

use Gettext\Translator;

//Create a new instance of the translator
$t = new Translator();

//Load the translations from php files (generated by Gettext\Extractors\PhpArray)
$t->loadTranslations(
    'locales/gl/domain1.php',
    'locales/gl/domain2.php',
    'locales/gl/domain3.php',
);

//Now you can use it in your templates
echo $t->gettext('apple');

GettextTranslator

The class Gettext\GettextTranslator uses the gettext extension. It's useful because combines the performance of using real gettext functions but with the same API than Translator class, so you can switch to one or other translator without change code of your app.

use Gettext\GettextTranslator;

//Create a new instance
$t = new GettextTranslator();

//It detects the environment variables to set the locale, but you can change it:
$t->setLanguage('gl');

//Load the domains:
$t->loadDomain('messages', 'project/Locale');
//this means you have the file "project/Locale/gl/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo"

//Now you can use it in your templates
echo $t->gettext('apple');

Translator functions

To ease the use of translations in your php templates, you can use the provided functions:

use Gettext\TranslatorFunctions;

//Register the translator to use the global functions
TranslatorFunctions::register($t);

echo __('apple'); // it's the same than $t->gettext('apple');

You can scan the php files containing these functions and extract the values with the PhpCode extractor:

<!-- index.php -->
<html>
    <body>
        <?= __('Hello world'); ?>
    </body>
</html>
