Installation

Install the latest version using composer:, _(*3)

composer require dees040/loca

Make sure you require the autoload., _(*4)

Configuration

Use Loca::prepare() to configure the class., _(*5)

prepare() takes one argument which is an array., _(*6)

Options:, _(*7)

• locale (string): The country code of the main language to use.
• fallbackLocale (string): The country code of the fallback language to use.
• langDir (string): The full path to the directory which contains the translations.

Example:, _(*8)

Loca::prepare([
    'locale' => 'fr',
    'fallbackLocale' => 'en',
    'langDir' => '/var/www/Loca/resources/languages',
]);

Usages

Language strings are stored in files within the specified directory. Within this directory there should be a subdirectory for each language supported by the application:, _(*9)

/languageDirectory
    /en
        app.php
    /fr
        app.php

All language files simply return an array of keyed strings. For example:, _(*10)

<?php

return [
    'welcome' => 'Welcome to our application.'
];

At this moment you can call a translation:, _(*11)

Loca::translate('app.welcome');

Which outputs: Welcome to our application., _(*12)

Examples

None, _(*13)
