Re: [fw-general] Zend_Translate automatic language detection

[Thomas Weidner]

No, rerouting is for now not supported.
It will come in future.
Also in your release you can not set a non-availalble language without 
getting an exception.
In 1.7 this is possible.

So you first have to check if the language is available with isAvailable() 
before setting it.

Hi, again, Thomas,

if I use setLocale('browser'), I get an exception, that 'de_AT' first has 
to be added before it can be set as a locale.

Here is my original-from-the-manual-code:

// Beispiel 2:
$translate = new Zend_Translate('array', APPLICATION_PATH . 
'/../translations/en.php', "en_US");
$translate->addTranslation(APPLICATION_PATH . 
'/../translations/it.php',"it_IT");
// Die am besten passende Sprache ist "en_US"

$translate->setLocale('auto'); // added because Thomas says so ;-)

print_r($translate->getList()) . '<br />';
echo $translate->getLocale() . ': ';
echo $translate->_('key') . '<br />';

In the example part I tried this, there are translations for en_US and 
it_IT. The browser accepts de_AT, fr and en_US. So, why do I get an 
exception instead of the en_US translation? It seems, that Zend_Translate 
doesn't look for translations of all languages accepted by the browser, 
correct? I would have expected, that Zend_Translate looks for translations 
like this: de_AT -> de -> fr -> en_US -> en. In my case, it should stop 
searching at en_US, because this translation exists.

Best regards,
Jörg

Jörg,

You set the language manually within Zend_Translate in all examples and 
don't use automatic language detection at all.
If you want detection you should set the locale (setLocale) to "browser" 
when you only want browser locales, or "auto" if you need a complete 
automatic detection.
Autodetection works best when you combine it with scanning.

Given your examples, all seems to work like expected/coded.

Hello,

after one and a half days of reading manual and forums, and testing many
configuartions, I dare to ask the mailing list now.

If I take the source code from the manual
(http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.translate.using.html, 46.9.), 
it
does not act like described there.

- The output in my browser is the following:
de_AT=1;fr=1;en_US=0.8
it_IT: italiano
it_IT: italiano
de: deutsch
de: deutsch

- After what the manual says, I would have expected that:
de_AT=1;fr=1;en_US=0.8
: key
en: english
de: deutsch
it_IT: italiano

- In my bootstrap, there is nothing about Zend_Translate or Zend_locale 
at
all. For testing purposes I just put the code from the manual into my
IndexController.

- My browser (firefox) is set to accept de_AT, fr, en_US.

- I put the neccessary translation files (PHP arrays) in APPLICATION_PATH 
.
'/../translations/' and named them it.php, ru.php, en.php es.php and 
de.php.
They look like this:
<?php
return array(
   'key' => 'english'
);

-My IndexController contains the code from the manual plus a few echo's 
from
me. Here it is:
// Let's expect the browser returns this language settings
// HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE = "de_AT=1;fr=1;en_US=0.8";
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'] . '<br />';

// Example 1:
$translate = new Zend_Translate("gettext", "\my_it.mo", "it_IT");
$translate->addTranslation("\my_es.mo","es_UG");
// no fitting language found, return the messageid
echo $translate->getLocale() . ': ';
echo $translate->_('key') . '<br />';

// Example 2:
$translate = new Zend_Translate("gettext", "\my_en.mo", "en_US");
$translate->addTranslation("\my_it.mo","it_IT");
// best found fitting language is "en_US"
echo $translate->getLocale() . ': ';
echo $translate->_('key') . '<br />';

// Example 3:
$translate = new Zend_Translate("gettext", "\my_it.mo", "it_IT");
$translate->addTranslation("\my_de.mo","de");
// best found fitting language is "de" because "de_AT" will be
// degraded to "de"
echo $translate->getLocale() . ': ';
echo $translate->_('key') . '<br />';

// Example 4:
$translate = new Zend_Translate("gettext", "\my_it.mo", "it_IT");
$translate->addTranslation("\my_ru.mo","ru");
$translate->setLocale("it_IT");
$translate->addTranslation("\my_de.mo","de");
// returns "it_IT" as translation source
echo $translate->getLocale() . ': ';
echo $translate->_('key') . '<br />';

I use Zend Framework 1.6.2, PHP 5.2.6 on Ubuntu with LAMPP.

Could anyone please tell me, what is the problem here?

Best regards,
Jörg Hambuch
