README

CliLocalizer is a PHP library for easy localization in CLI applications with support for multiple translation file formats (JSON, YAML, PHP(Array) and MO).

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require lantosbro/cli-localizer

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or higher
• PHP YAML extension
• PHP Gettext extension

To install the YAML extension:

pecl install yaml

To install the Gettext extension:

pecl install gettext

Then add extension=yaml.so and extension=gettext.so to your php.ini file.

Usage

use CliLocalizer\Translator;
use CliLocalizer\CliOutput;

// Initialize the Translator with the required translations path, format, and optional locale and fallback locale
$translator = new Translator('/path/to/your/translations', 'mo', 'ru_RU', 'en_US');

// Create a CliOutput instance
$output = new CliOutput($translator);

// Use the output
$output->writeln('welcome_message', ['name' => 'User']);
$output->writeln('processing_files', ['count' => 5]);

Configuration

You must specify the path to your translations directory and the format of your translation files when initializing the Translator. Supported formats are:

• JSON ('json')
• YAML ('yaml')
• PHP ('php')
• MO ('mo')

Create translation files in your specified translations directory using the chosen format.

Example translation files:

JSON (en_US.json):

{
    "welcome_message": "Welcome, :name!",
    "processing_files": "Processing :count files..."
}

YAML (en_US.yaml):

welcome_message: "Welcome, :name!"
processing_files: "Processing :count files..."

PHP (en_US.php):

<?php
return [
    'welcome_message' => 'Welcome, :name!',
    'processing_files' => 'Processing :count files...',
];

For MO files, you need to compile them from PO files using tools like msgfmt. The structure should be similar to other formats, with keys being the original strings and values being the translations.

The Translator will attempt to load translations in the following order:

1. The specified locale (e.g., 'ru_RU')
2. The language code of the specified locale (e.g., 'ru')
3. The fallback locale (default is 'en_US')

Ensure that you have at least a translation file for your fallback locale.
