Zend Framework Primer (2)-Multi-lingual support

If your project wants to support multi-lingual versions, then you need to use zend_translate. Zend_translate's detailed documentation is here, but if you want to be lazy, it's also easy, and in the View Helpers documentation, you can easily implement multi-lingual support with Translate Helper.

1. Prepare translation documents

Zend_translate supports translation files in multiple formats. Choose which format to refer to here. If the entries are not many (below 5,000), consider using the most intuitive array format, and you can write to a php file. Suppose, we need a Chinese version of support, the translation file named zh_cn.php, placed in parallel with the application languages folder. The contents of the document are as follows:

Return Array (
' Hello_world ' = ' Hello! ',
);

2. Loading translation files

Edit the html/index.php file and insert the following code before the front-end controller runs:

Require_once ' zend/registry.php ';
Require_once ' zend/translate.php ';
$adapter = new Zend_translate (' array ', $rootPath. '/languages/zh_cn.php ', ' en ');
Zend_registry::set (' zend_translate ', $adapter);

The purpose of the code above is to load the zh_cn.php and save it as a global variable. Zend_registry can be seen as a global variable container.

Note: When saving to Zend_registry, the key value must be zend_translate, otherwise, the result should not be obtained.

3. Using translation entries in the view

Edit the application/views/scripts/index/index.phtml file to place the original "

Hello world!

"Replace with:

Translate (' Hello_world ');?>

4. View Page

At this point, the browser should see "Hello!" ”。
