Internationalization library of the PHP Ride framework.

What's In This Library

Locale

A Locale is the interface for a locale definition. This is a simple representation with a name, code and extra properties.

These locales are contained in a LocaleManager instance. This manager controls the current and default locale.

A LocaleIO feeds the LocaleManager with locales. The locales should be sorted in the order of importance for the system. The first locale is considered the default locale.

Negotiator

A Negotiator is used to detect the current locale. It's invoked when the current locale is not set.

You can use the ChainedNegotiator to implement multiple detection mechanisms in a chain.

Translator

A Translator is the interface to translate keys into a localized string. The interface supports a difference between singular and plural forms of a translation key.

The translators are managed by a TranslatorManager. Translator instances can be requested with the Locale instance.

I18n

The I18n class glues the different parts together into an easy facade.

// translation management
