Installation

1. Install the bundle using Composer:

composer require whitedigital-eu/translation-bundle

1. Add the bundle to your config/bundles.php:

return [
    // ...
    WhiteDigital\Translation\TranslationBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Configuration

Create a configuration file config/packages/translation.yaml:

translation:
    entity_manager: default  # Optional: defaults to 'default'
    locale: en              # Default locale for translations
    translation_fallback: false  # Whether to use translation fallback
    managed_locales: ['en', 'lv']  # List of managed locales
    cache_pool: cache.app    # Optional: Cache pool to use for translations

Usage

1. Translatable Entities

To make an entity translatable, extend the AbstractTranslatableEntity class:

use WhiteDigital\Translation\Entity\AbstractTranslatableEntity;
use Gedmo\Mapping\Annotation as Gedmo;

class YourEntity extends AbstractTranslatableEntity
{
    #[Gedmo\Translatable]
    private ?string $name = null;
    
    // ... getters and setters
}

2. API Endpoints

The bundle provides the following API endpoints:

• GET /api/trans_units - List all translation units
• GET /api/trans_units/{id} - Get a specific translation unit
• POST /api/trans_units - Create a new translation unit
• PATCH /api/trans_units/{id} - Update a translation unit
• DELETE /api/trans_units/{id} - Delete a translation unit
• GET /api/trans_units/list/{locale} - Get translations for a specific locale

3. Command Line Tools

The bundle provides several command-line tools. There are two ways to use these commands depending on your setup:

When using SiteTree:

Each locale is passed as a separate option with its corresponding file path:

# Import translations
bin/console wd:trans_unit:import --en=/path/to/en.json --lv=/path/to/lv.json

# Override translations
bin/console wd:trans_unit:override --en=/path/to/en.json --lv=/path/to/lv.json

Without SiteTree:

Locales and files are passed as comma-separated lists:

# Import translations
bin/console wd:trans_unit:import --locales=en,lv --files=/path/to/en.json,/path/to/lv.json

# Override translations
bin/console wd:trans_unit:override --locales=en,lv

4. Translation Format

When creating or updating translations via API, use the following format:

{
    "key": "translation.key",
    "domain": "messages",
    "translations": {
        "en": "English translation",
        "lv": "Latvian translation"
    }
}

5. Cache Management

The bundle supports caching of translations for improved performance. Configure the cache pool in your configuration:

translation:
    cache_pool: cache.app

The cache is automatically invalidated when translations are updated.
