Hi,
I want to tell you my thoughts about managing I18N content in the
backend and want to know your opinions.
I want to internationalize my frontend app - classic (i18n/
messages.xx.xml + object with I18n behaviour) .. no problem
Then I need to manage internationalized objects (News) in the backend.
I have attributes: title and content (doctrine - i18n behaviour).
I want English, Deutch and Czech language.
I need to somehow to display this languages on the form.
possibility 1)
In the master form use $this->embedI18n(array('en', 'de', 'cs')); ..
like in Jobeet example.
I don't like this solution because the form is too long. 2 fields for
every language. (imagine that I want to add some mor languages, or
more internationalized fields ... I thing this is not suitable for me)
possibility 2)
Show only fields for selected translation. There is some solution here
[url1] http://forum.symfony-project.org/index.php/t/16823/ ... I
almost like it.
I want to do something like this [url1]. For this I can use
embedI18n(array('onlyOneSelectedLang')) or
mergeForm(xxFormTranslation())
I think I'll go with mergeForm() if I don't hit a snag with something.
One thing I dont like on the solution in [url1] is that he use use
sf_culture in the sfUser object for selecting languege and
sf_default_culture setting. I don't think that is correct, because
this stuff is for internationalizing the backend, not for the managing
the internationalized content. Am I right?
So if I don't want to use sf_culture - I have to figer out how to
KNOW which language is selected .. which translation show on the form.
I've thought about two solutions
1) store it into the session -> something like sf_culture in sf_user
object
2) store in only in the URL ( backend_dev.php/news/1/edit/
edited_lang )
If you have read this till this end and you've some opinion or you
have deal with something similar .. tell me how you did it.
I want to do this:
- Show some tabs-like links for changing the language of the form
content (EN, DE, CZ)
- Store this selected lang into the session (contentCulture)
- On the form show only the fields for the selected lang by
mergeForm() function
What do you thing abou it?
