Translation: Usage

• Single Translation Key
• Route Based Translation Keys
• Filters

This page shows an example of how translation can be used.

Single Translation Key

In this example we are displaying a single translation for key hathoora_hello_world.

In the controller, the code looks like this:

                
                    $helloTranslation = $this->getService('translation')->t(
                        'hathoora_hello_world', array('name' => 'World')
                    );
                
            

In this example we are passing token 'name' and the output is:

                
                    Hello, World                
            

Route Based Translation Keys

Above example will make one call to get one translation, if you need to fetch multiple translations you can associate translations to a route and fetch them. This example is using hathoora_route_example_title and hathoora_route_example_body. The controller code looks like this:

                
                    $routeTranslations = $this->getService('translation')->getRouteTranslations('hathoora_translation_route',
                        array(
                            'hathoora_route_example_title' => array(
                                'date' => date('m/d/y H:i:s')
                            ),
                            'hathoora_route_example_body' => array(
                                'link' => 'http://hathoora.org'
                            )
                        )
                    );
                
            

In this example we are getting all translations associated with route hathoora_translation_route. We are also passing tokens date and link to keys hathoora_route_example_title and hathoora_route_example_body respectively.

The output is shown below.

                
                    hathoora_route_example_title : Today is: 10/23/18 10:30:29
                    hathoora_route_example_body: hathoora_route_example_body

Filters

Using translation inside template and using filters. In this example we are using key hathoora_hello_world_filter.

                
                    echo $this->getService('translation')->t(
                                        'hathoora_hello_world_filter', array('name' => ' Hathoora PHP Framework '));
                
            

The translation key has the following translation for en_US

                
                    Name is trimmed: "{{name|trim}}"<br/>
                    <br/>
                    Custom filter: "{{name|customFilter(3)|trim}}"
                
            

In this example we are using builtin trim filter and a custom filter called and customFilter which takes one parameter.

And we added a custom filter class that contains a static customFilter like so in config.

                
                    # File admin/config/config_prod.yml

                    hathoora:
                        translation:
                            ....

                        # filter used in translation helper
                        detokenizerFilters:
                            - \admin\helper\translationFilter
                
            

The output of result is shown below.

                
                    Name is trimmed: "Hathoora PHP Framework"



Custom filter: "hathoora php framework  ----  hathoora php framework  ----  hathoora php framework  ----"
