typo3-locallang-formats
=======================

[](#typo3-locallang-formats)

Registers Symfony's built-in translation loaders for TYPO3 locallang files, enabling **YAML, JSON, PHP, INI, CSV, and PO** as alternatives to XLF.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

TYPO3 14.3 or later

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require amdeu/typo3-locallang-formats

```

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

TYPO3 v14 uses the [Symfony Translation component](https://symfony.com/doc/current/translation.html)internally. This extension registers Symfony's built-in file loaders for additional formats via `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['LANG']['loader']`. No custom parser code — just wiring.

XLF is always checked first (TYPO3 core default), so existing extensions are unaffected.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Identical to XLF — use the file's actual extension in the path:

```

```

Follow TYPO3's locallang file naming convention, translations prefixed with the locale:

```
Resources/Private/Language/
    locallang.yaml        ← default (English)
    de.locallang.yaml     ← German
    fr.locallang.yaml     ← French

```

Nested keys are flattened with dot notation by Symfony's loaders:

```
# locallang.yaml
login:
  title: Please log in
  submit: Submit
```

is referenced as `login.title`, `login.submit`.

Supported formats
-----------------

[](#supported-formats)

ExtensionFormat`yaml`, `yml`YAML`json`JSON`php`PHP file returning an array`ini`INI key=value`csv`CSV (`key,translation`)`po`[Gettext PO](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/PO-Files.html) — uses `msgid`/`msgstr`Changing format priority
------------------------

[](#changing-format-priority)

By default the order is `xlf, yaml, yml, json, php, ini, csv, po`. To override, set:

```
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['LANG']['format']['priority'] = 'yaml,xlf,json,php,ini,csv,po';
```
