Just create an empty mo file for 'nl'... a task of 30 seconds.
This is how things work with all gettext variants.
The point is, that most people use real strings as messageid because this
makes the code more readable.
But they are still no "own" language and that's why an exception is raised.
You can referr to it as "machinecode" or "messageid" as we have named it.
As you may have seen we do not provide informations for how to create the
translation files.
This is because the documentation was written for people who are already
familiar with gettext or the other formats.
And in the manual you see that the default language is selected and the
other language is added...
We do never try to set an other language as default.
If you would just try to translate it it would work...
$translate = new Zend_Translate('myfile.mo', 'fr');
$translate->_('I want this text', 'nl');
// prints "I want this text" and throws NO exception
And this is because "while translation never an exception occurs"... that's
what is written in the docu.
Again:
You can not set an default to an language which does not exist...
BUT you can try to translate a not defined language and will get the
messageid returned.

The manual is then confusing,
because the strings inside the translate function do not look like message
id's, but rather like the untranslated text.
e.g. from the manual:
print $translate->_("Here is line one")."\n";
printf($translate->_("Today is the %1\$s") . "\n", date("d.m.Y"));
That's why I tought that if a language in the local has no file associated
to it, use the untranslated text inside the translate function.
I didn't specify nl because the string inside the translate function are
already dutch (untranslated text). So I would have a .mo file from dutch
to
dutch.
If I'm not wrong, the manual is confusing.
Sorry if I misunderstood again.

What do you mean with "already use english"...
You are defining MessageIDs... these are textstrings... and if you want
to
output a messageid you have to provide a translation.
You can not do a translation and then expect the messageid to get
returned
.
The system does not know if your string "EDIT_3" or "Edit" is a real
string
or a messageid.
There is a own function for getting the messageid and you can only use
languages which you have defined.
The point is that you have not defined 'nl' to be part of Zend_Translate,
only 'fr' and 'en', and therefor you get the exception that you have not
defined 'nl' as language.
So, define 'nl' as language and then you can set it as standard with
setLocale().

Let's say I use english in my pages,
I will have to have an english translation of english ??
The problem is if I set the locale to "en" english, it will throw me
that
exception because I do not want to provide a translation from english to
english. That's why I have no file for "en" in this case and it throws
me
an
exception.

Hy,
you missunderstood something...
Expect the following:
You have english as standard language and used as messageids.
You have german and english translations.....
Now one of your messageid is not translated in german so the original
english will be returned instead of throwing an exception.
BUT:
If you set an language which Zend_Locale does not know it throws you an
exception.
Reading through the returned message you see:
Uncaught exception 'Zend_Translate_Exception' with message 'Language
(nl)
has to be added before it can be used.
So what you will have to do before you can use a language is
$translate->addLanguage('myfile.mo', 'nl');
If something is not translated within a file... no problem...
But if there is no file we have no way to do anything but throw an
exception
:-)

Subject: [fw-general] Zend_Translate exception
Hi,
I am using Zend_Translate to internationalize my application.
$translate = new Zend_Translate('gettext',
'./public/ress/source-fr.mo',
'fr');
$translate->addTranslation('./public/ress/source-en.mo', 'en');
$translate->setLocale("nl");
Zend_Registry::set(Constants::REG_TRANSLATE, $translate);
The text is translated well if I set the local "fr" or "en" and it
output
the string from the appropriate .mo file.
But once that I set it to "nl", I have the following exception:
Uncaught exception 'Zend_Translate_Exception' with message 'Language
(nl)
has to be added before it can be used.
But I was excepting to have the untranslated string back ! Because in
the
manual it says that if no translation is found for "nl", the original
message is returned.
Thank you for any help !
