CodeIgniter Gettext

Latest Stable Version Build Status Code Coverage Scrutinizer Code Quality License

This is CodeIgniter PHP framework package for dealing with Gettext.

This package is a fork from Marko Martivović library : https://github.com/Marko-M/codeigniter-gettext

Please use Composer to install it and include it as a package in your CodeIgniter application.

Instructions

Please note that following steps assume that you have correctly installed gettext and configured Codeigniter on your server.

  1. Use composer to install this package composer require joel-depiltech/codeigniter-gettext
  2. Add this package to auto-load packages array $autoload['packages'] = array(FCPATH . 'vendor/joel-depiltech/codeigniter-gettext/src'); or include it with Loader library $this->load->add_package_path(FCPATH . 'vendor/joel-depiltech/codeigniter-gettext/src');
  3. Load default configuration file $this->load->config('gettext'); or add it to auto-load config array $autoload['config'] = array('gettext');
  4. Load the library $this->load->library('gettext'); or add it to auto-load library array $autoload['library'] = array('gettext');
  5. Load the helper $this->load->helper('gettext'); or add it to auto-load helper array $autoload['helper'] = array('gettext');
  6. Create gettext locales directory according to your gettext_locale_dir (application/language/locales by default). Inside that directory create locale_name/LC_MESSAGES path for each of your locales and place your .mo files inside.

This is an example how to load Library overwriting default configuration:

<?php
class Your_controller extends CI_Controller
{
   public function __construct()
   {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->load->library(
            'gettext',
            array(
                'gettext_text_domain' => 'my-project',
                'gettext_locale' => 'fr_FR.UTF-8',
                'gettext_locale_dir' => 'language/gettext'
            )
        );
   }
}
?>

    $locale = Array(
        "de" => Array(
            'de_DE.UTF-8',
            'de_DE@euro',
            'de_DE',
            'german',
            'ger',
            'deu',
            'de'
        ),
        "en" => Array(
            "en_GB.UTF-8",
            "en_GB@euro",
            "en_GB",
            "english",
            "eng",
            "gbr",
            "en"
        )
    );

    $CI = &get_instance();
    $lang = $this->uri->segment(1);
    if(isset($locale[$lang])){
        $getTextConfig = Array( 
            'gettext_catalog_codeset' => 'UTF8',
            'gettext_text_domain' => 'example',
            'gettext_locale_dir' => './language/locale/';
            'gettext_locale' => $locale[$lang]
        );
        $CI->load->library('gettext', $getTextConfig);
    }
    else {
        $CI->load->library('gettext');
