A simple language abstraction to simply keep copy out of your code. This is NOT a translation library.

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

[](#installation)

Add `jaeger-app/language` as a requirement to your `composer.json`:

```
$ composer require jaeger-app/language
```

Simple Usage
------------

[](#simple-usage)

To get started with `JaegerApp\Language` you pass system paths to directories containing language files which are used for a simple replacement.

```
$lang = new Language;
$lang_path = '/path/to/language/files';
$lang->init($lang_path);

echo $lang->__('backup_success_message');
```

You can also pass an array of paths to the constructor to bulk load language files

```
$paths = array(
	'/path/to/language1',
	'/path/to/language2',
	'/path/to/language3'
);
$lang = new Language($paths);
```

Language File Format
--------------------

[](#language-file-format)

The language files are a simple key => value array called `$lang`

```
$lang = array(
	'backup_success_message' => 'Backup Complete!',
	'backup_fail_message' => 'Backup Failed...',
);
```

You can store multiple language files in the same directory as well as add multiple directories so keeping content organized shouldn't hurt too much.
