README

Load JSON language files and translate them in your application.

• Licence: MIT
• Version: 1.0.0
• PHP Versions: 7.x, 8.0+, 8.1+, 8.2+
• Author: Sherri Wheeler
• Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/syntaxseed/translator

Features

• Easy to use, just set language and point to a JSON file.
• Uses the primary language as the lookup key, so strings are understandable in your application.
• Add any number of languages with a language key.
• All the translations for one string are in the same file/place.
• Fails silently - untranslated strings will just output the lookup string.
• Load more than one language file for different parts of your application.
• Short translation function name (get) for easy typing.
• Switch target language when needed.

Install

Via Composer:

composer require syntaxseed/translator

Or add to composer.json:

"require": {
    "syntaxseed/translator": "^1.0"
},

Usage

For a more in-depth example, see examples/ directory.

use Syntaxseed\Translator\Translator;

require('../src/Translator.php');

// Initialize with base (lookup) language and target language to translate to.
$translations = new Translator('en', 'fr');
// Load a JSON file to the default lookup key.
$translations->loadLanguageFile(__DIR__.'/lang.json');

echo($translations->get('Hello World'));

Language File JSON Format
