README

A simple PHP library for multi-language projects.

Installation

You can install the library using Composer. Run the following command:

composer require gokhankurtulus/multilanguage

Usage

You need to create a directory first and create the desired languages in this directory in JSON format. Example JSON files are provided below.

Example Hierarchy

project
   ├── Lang
   │    ├── de.json
   │    ├── en.json
   │    └── tr.json
   └── index.php

en.json

{
  "Hello": "Hello #name# $lastname$",
  "Homepage": "Homepage"
}

tr.json

{
  "Hello": "Selam #name# $lastname$",
  "Homepage": "Anasayfa"
}

de.json

{
  "Hello": "Hallo #name# $lastname$",
  "Homepage": "Startseite"
}

index.php

use MultiLanguage\MultiLanguage;

MultiLanguage::setDirectoryPath(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . "Lang");
MultiLanguage::setAllowedLanguages(["en", "tr", "de"]);
MultiLanguage::setDefaultLanguage("en");
MultiLanguage::setCurrentLanguage("tr");

// Output will be "Homepage" because $lang parameter is set to 'en'.
// If $lang is null or empty tries to get current language
// if current is not defined then tries to get default language
// if both not defined and $lang is not given throws an LanguageException
echo MultiLanguage::translate('Homepage', 'en');

// Output will be "Anasayfa" because current language is 'tr'.
echo MultiLanguage::translate('Homepage');

// Output will be "Hallo John Doe".
// Specify unique keys in the language file then you can manipulate them.
// In this example, if your key is located many places in string it will change all of them.
echo MultiLanguage::translate('Hello', 'de', ['#name#' => 'John', '$lastname$' => 'Doe']);
