Hi,
I am trying to understand how to get internationalization to work in
CakePHP. After reading the docs and searching around, looking at
Teknoid and some other place this is what I am left with.
CakePHP has a class I18n that handles the loading of the correct
string from a .po file based upon the language locale setting.
CakePHP has a console app that supposedly will read all the strings in
your view files and create language files for you.
I wrap my string ids in _() which will return the msg for that id.
I can use POEdit to create my files.
Given that. I created one message and placed it in the default.po file
for English. I then used the translator function for the heading on my
login page. However when I start the app it simply fails and tells me
that _() is an undefined function.
Here is the content of my controller:
class SubscribersController extends Controller
{
public $helpers = array ('Form', 'Html', 'Javascript');
public $components = array ('DataPrep');
public $SubscriberId = null;
public function login()
{
$this->pageTitle = 'Please Login';
$this->layout = 'login';
$this->SubscriberId = $this->params['data']['Subscriber']
['SubscriberId'];
$this->log('Login attempt with SubscriberId: '.$this-
>SubscriberId, Configure::read('APP_LOG'));
$subscriber = $this->Subscriber->QuerySub($this-
>SubscriberId);
if ($subscriber->resultCode == 0)
{
$this->Session->write('Subscriber', $subscriber-
>querySubRsp);
//debug($this->Session->read('Subscriber'));
$this->redirect( array ('controller'=>'subscribers',
'action'=>'basics'));
}
}
............
Here is the content of my View file:
<div class="grid_6"> </div>
<div class="grid_4" style="margin-top:200px; background:#FFF;">
<div style="text-align:center; font-weight:bold;"><?php
_("Please
Login"); ?></div>
<div style="padding:20px;">
<?php
echo $form->create($options = array('action' =>
'login'));
echo $form->input('Subscriber.SubscriberId');
echo $form->button('Login', array('type'=>'submit',
'class'=>'button'));
echo $form->end();
?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="grid_6"> </div>
Here is the content of my default.po file that is in the directory /
app/locale/eng/LC_MESSAGES/
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: \n"
"PO-Revision-Date: \n"
"Last-Translator: Steven Wright <[email protected]>\n"
"Language-Team: \n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
msgid "Please Login"
msgstr "Please Login"
1) I am assuming I need to tell Cake to use I18n. But how? Is it a
component, a helper?
2) Does my .po file look correct?
3) Am I on the right path?
Thanks
