Steps how to implement multiple language in Cake PHP
Step 1: Set the route configuration in app/Config/routes.php // i.e like www.google.com/language/controller/action
Router::connect('/:language/:controller/:action/*',array(),array('language' => '[a-z]{3}'));
Step 2: Set the config language in app/Config/core.php
Configure::write('Config.language', 'eng');
Step 3: create Helper in app/View/Helper/NewHtmlHelper.php
App::uses('HtmlHelper', 'View/Helper');
class NewHtmlHelper extends HtmlHelper {
public function url($url = null, $full = false) {
if(!isset($url['language']) && isset($this->params['language'])) {
$url['language'] = $this->params['language'];
}
return parent::url($url, $full);
}
Step 4: Now change code in AppController app/Controller/AppController.php
class AppController extends Controller {
var $components = array('Session', 'Cookie');
public $helpers = array('Html' => array('className' => 'NewHtml'));
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->_setLanguage();
}
private function _setLanguage() {
//if the cookie was previously set, and Config.language has not been set
//write the Config.language with the value from the Cookie
if($this->Cookie->read('lang') && !$this->Session->check('Config.language')) {
$this->Session->write('Config.language', $this->Cookie->read('lang'));
}else if ( isset($this->params['language']) && ($this->params['language'] != $this->Session->read('Config.language'))) {
//then update the value in Session and the one in Cookie
$this->Session->write('Config.language', $this->params['language']);
$this->Cookie->write('lang', $this->params['language'], false, '20 days');
}
}
//override redirect
public function redirect( $url, $status = NULL, $exit = true ) {
if (!isset($url['language']) && $this->Session->check('Config.language')) {
$url['language'] = $this->Session->read('Config.language');
}
parent::redirect($url,$status,$exit);
}
}
Step 5: Now add the code in layout
<?php echo $this->Html->link('English', array('language' => 'eng'));
echo $this->Html->link('France', array('language' => 'fra')); ?>
Suppose you want to change following code
<ul>
<li><?php echo __('Send') ?></li>
<li><?php echo __('Reply') ?></li>
<li><?php echo __('Forward') ?></li>
<li><?php echo __('Delete') ?></li>
</ul>
Step 6: Make default.po file in Locale
i.e app\Locale\eng\LC_MESSAGES\default.po
put code inside it
msgid "Send"
msgstr "Send"
msgid "Reply"
msgstr "Reply"
msgid "Forward"
msgstr "Forward"
msgid "Delete"
msgstr "Delete"
i.e app\Locale\fra\LC_MESSAGES\default.po
put code inside it
msgid "Send"
msgstr "Envoyer"
msgid "Reply"
msgstr "Réponse"
msgid "Forward"
msgstr "Vers l'avant"
msgid "Delete"
msgstr "Supprimer"
Note: Where msgid is key and msgstr is value
Step 1: Set the route configuration in app/Config/routes.php // i.e like www.google.com/language/controller/action
Router::connect('/:language/:controller/:action/*',array(),array('language' => '[a-z]{3}'));
Step 2: Set the config language in app/Config/core.php
Configure::write('Config.language', 'eng');
Step 3: create Helper in app/View/Helper/NewHtmlHelper.php
App::uses('HtmlHelper', 'View/Helper');
class NewHtmlHelper extends HtmlHelper {
public function url($url = null, $full = false) {
if(!isset($url['language']) && isset($this->params['language'])) {
$url['language'] = $this->params['language'];
}
return parent::url($url, $full);
}
Step 4: Now change code in AppController app/Controller/AppController.php
class AppController extends Controller {
var $components = array('Session', 'Cookie');
public $helpers = array('Html' => array('className' => 'NewHtml'));
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->_setLanguage();
}
private function _setLanguage() {
//if the cookie was previously set, and Config.language has not been set
//write the Config.language with the value from the Cookie
if($this->Cookie->read('lang') && !$this->Session->check('Config.language')) {
$this->Session->write('Config.language', $this->Cookie->read('lang'));
}else if ( isset($this->params['language']) && ($this->params['language'] != $this->Session->read('Config.language'))) {
//then update the value in Session and the one in Cookie
$this->Session->write('Config.language', $this->params['language']);
$this->Cookie->write('lang', $this->params['language'], false, '20 days');
}
}
//override redirect
public function redirect( $url, $status = NULL, $exit = true ) {
if (!isset($url['language']) && $this->Session->check('Config.language')) {
$url['language'] = $this->Session->read('Config.language');
}
parent::redirect($url,$status,$exit);
}
}
Step 5: Now add the code in layout
<?php echo $this->Html->link('English', array('language' => 'eng'));
echo $this->Html->link('France', array('language' => 'fra')); ?>
Suppose you want to change following code
<ul>
<li><?php echo __('Send') ?></li>
<li><?php echo __('Reply') ?></li>
<li><?php echo __('Forward') ?></li>
<li><?php echo __('Delete') ?></li>
</ul>
Step 6: Make default.po file in Locale
i.e app\Locale\eng\LC_MESSAGES\default.po
put code inside it
msgid "Send"
msgstr "Send"
msgid "Reply"
msgstr "Reply"
msgid "Forward"
msgstr "Forward"
msgid "Delete"
msgstr "Delete"
i.e app\Locale\fra\LC_MESSAGES\default.po
put code inside it
msgid "Send"
msgstr "Envoyer"
msgid "Reply"
msgstr "Réponse"
msgid "Forward"
msgstr "Vers l'avant"
msgid "Delete"
msgstr "Supprimer"

so how operating system understands all these languages simultanously sir???
ReplyDeleteIN these it will changes the word you want to change. It not depend upon operating system.
DeleteConversion depend upon po file on key basic
