Different languages

[nickbe]

Is there a setting to change the default language? Can we translate some language file somewhere?

[zeruniverse]

Currently, no.

Shall I collect all english expressions and make a first translation (english - german) file for you?

[BenjaminHae]

I think we should first choose a framework. Then create translation files.

[nickbe]

So do you want to switch completely to a framework? password-manager seems small and compact now. Otherwise why a framework for simple language specific captions?

[BenjaminHae]

Because a framework for languages greatly reduces effort needed for implementing different languages and increases maintainability.

[nickbe]

Okay. Although I don't see the point here. Don't we talk about simple language files and a simple translation routine?

[zeruniverse]

Actually, a framework is not necessary. We only need to translate the UI and I think there are only a few files containing UI.

Ok then just say the word and I try to contribute some translations for you. (german, italian, maybe polish)

[zeruniverse]

But there's a problem. I think all developments will be in English. So I don't know how to sync the versions of different languages.

Or you can create a new repo and become the maintainer of a language version. Whenever the main project receives an upgrade, you port it into your version.

For sure, I'm happy to mention your language version in the main repo.

All we need is a simple function for example lang_txt() which returns the text for the current language, and one lang..php file per language.

For Example: lang.de.php

<?php
/* 
-----------------
Language: German
-----------------
*/
$lang = array();
$lang['my website title'] = 'Meine Webseite Titel';
$lang['header title'] = 'Titel der Seite';
$lang['this is our slogan'] = 'Mein Slogan hier';
// Menu
$lang['Home'] = 'Heim';
$lang['Add password'] = 'Neues Passwort';
?>

Then all you do is replace all text output with a function call, like this echo lang_txt('Add password') ;

If the text exists in the does not exist in the language file we simply get the default english text.

I ment a framework just for internationalization. We already use jquery, bootstrap and crypto js. Using an existing framework reduces complexity and keeps the core small and maintainable. I know there are established I18n frameworks for jQuery so why not use one of them?

Furthermore: Implementing this in php breaks the separation between backend and ui. So please implement it using js. There should be tools that allow the following:

<span data-content="foo"></span>

and calling a function in javascript sets the text for every element that has a data-content attribute from a config file.

I looked around and propose using https://github.com/jquery-i18n-properties/jquery-i18n-properties It has good documentation and is mature. Implementing it should be easy but a bit of work.

[zeruniverse]

Great!

Look interesting. Is the language file cached between page refreshes? (Not that it would matter with a small all like this - pure interest)

[BenjaminHae]

That should depend on your webserver settings.
