Howto

Translate a Skeleton App:

/**
 * Create a translator object
 */
$translator = new \Skeleton\I18n\Translator($application->name);

/**
 * Attach a storage
 */
$translator_storage_po = new \Skeleton\I18n\Translator\Storage\Po();
$translator_storage_po->set_configuration([
	'storage_path' => $root_path . '/po/'
]);
$translator->set_translator_storage($translator_storage_po);

/**
 * Use an extractor to extract translations from templates
 */
$translator_extractor_twig = new \Skeleton\I18n\Translator\Extractor\Twig();
$translator_extractor_twig->set_template_path($application->template_path);
$translator->set_translator_extractor($translator_extractor_twig);

[ optional ]
/**
 * Use a translator service to automatically translate untranslated strings
 */
$tas_service = new \Skeleton\I18n\Translator\Service\Tas();
$translator->set_translator_service($tas_service);

/**
 * Save the translator
 */
$translator->save();

/**
 * To translate, get the translation object and ask for a translation
 */
$translation = $translator->get_translation( Language::get_by_name_short('nl') );
echo $translation->translate('This is a test');

Translator\Storage objects can have a default configuration. This configuration will be used for any newly created Translator\Storage object.

\Skeleton\I18n\Translator\Storage\Po::set_default_configuration([
	'storage_path' => $root_path . '/po/'
]);

/**
 * Optional:
 * Set another Language interface
 */
\Skeleton\I18n\Config::$language_interface = '\Language';

Use it:

Via a twig template rendered by skeleton-template-twig:

{% trans "To be translated" %}

Po files:

Po files can now contain the fuzzy flag: #, fuzzy this makes it clear which translations still need work.

Translator services:

A new translator service has been added, this is to make it possible to automatically translate untranslated strings. Translations made by a translator service will get the fuzzy flag.

Currently supported translator services:

• TAS: \Skeleton\I18n\Translator\Service\Tas() => https://github.com/Uncover-F/TAS
• Deepl: \Skeleton\I18n\Translator\Service\Deepl() => https://www.deepl.com/en/pro-api/
