Yii2 i18n (internalization) module makes the translation of your application so simple

Installation

Composer

The preferred way to install this extension is through Composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require zelenin/yii2-i18n-module "dev-master"

or add

"zelenin/yii2-i18n-module": "dev-master"

to the require section of your composer.json

Usage

Configure I18N component in common config:

'i18n' => [
	'class' => Zelenin\yii\modules\I18n\components\I18N::className(),
	'languages' => ['ru-RU', 'de-DE', 'it-IT']
],

Configure I18N component in backend config:

'modules' => [
	'i18n' => Zelenin\yii\modules\I18n\Module::className()
],

Run:

php yii migrate --migrationPath=@Zelenin/yii/modules/I18n/migrations

Go to http://backend.yourdomain.com/translations for translating your messages

PHP to DB import

If you have an old project with PHP-based i18n you may migrate to DbSource via console.

Run:

php yii i18n/import @common/messages

where @common/messages is path for app translations

DB to PHP export

Run:

php yii i18n/export @Zelenin/yii/modules/I18n/messages zelenin/modules/i18n

where @Zelenin/yii/modules/I18n/messages is path for app translations and zelenin/modules/i18n is translations category in DB

Using yii category with DB

Import translations from PHP files

php yii i18n/import @yii/messages

Configure I18N component:

'i18n' => [
    'class'=> Zelenin\yii\modules\I18n\components\I18N::className(),
    'languages' => ['ru-RU', 'de-DE', 'it-IT'],
    'translations' => [
        'yii' => [
            'class' => yii\i18n\DbMessageSource::className()
        ]
    ]
],

Component uses yii\i18n\MissingTranslationEvent for auto-add of missing translations to database
