README

Allows setting a default domain for translations.

Before:

__('members'); // outputs members
__d('hospitals', 'members'); // outputs patients

__n('Record', 'Records', 2); // outputs Record or Records
__dn('hospitals', 'Record', 'Records', 2); // outputs Visit or Visits

__x('written communication', 'He read the first letter'); // Adds additional context for use during translation
__dx('hospitals', 'eye chart viewing', 'He read the first letter'); // Adds additional context for use during translation

__xn('character', 'Spy', 'Spies', 2); // Adds additional context for use during translation
__dxn('hospitals', 'to see', 'Spy', 'Spies', 2); // Adds additional context for use during translation

With plugin:

use Aml\I18n\I18n;

__('members');                      // outputs members
__t('members');                     // outputs members
__n('Record', 'Records', 2);        // outputs Records
__tn('Record', 'Records', 1);       // outputs Record

I18n::domain('hospitals');
__('members');                      // still outputs members
__t('members');                     // outputs patients
__n('Record', 'Records', 2);        // outputs Visits
__tn('Record', 'Records', 1);       // outputs Visit

Installation

You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.

composer require andres-ml/cakephp-i18n

Usage

Automatically load the plugin by running bin/cake plugin load Aml/I18n

Manually load the plugin in src/Application.php bootstrap() function by adding the following line

$this->addPlugin('Aml/I18n');

Wherever you would use __(), you can now use __t().

Wherever you would use __n(), you can now use __tn().

Wherever you would use __x(), you can now use __tx().

Wherever you would use __xn(), you can now use __txn().

Remember to create a domain.po file next to each default.po file for each domain you want to support. (https://book.cakephp.org/4.0/en/core-libraries/internationalization-and-localization.html#language-files)

To automatically generate the default.pot base file:

bin/cake aml/I18n.i18n extract
