Translator
==========

[](#translator)

A small PHP internationalisation library for PHP 7.1 and later.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require jord-jd/translator
```

Loading translations
--------------------

[](#loading-translations)

Load one or more JSON files, or merge an array supplied by your application. Later data overrides earlier keys.

```
use JordJD\Translator\Translator;

$translator = new Translator();
$translator->loadTranslationData(__DIR__.'/resources/lang/en.json');
$translator->loadTranslationArray([
    'welcome' => 'Welcome, :name!',
]);
```

Passing a language to the constructor loads `/resources/lang/.json`, preserving the original convention.

```
$translator = new Translator('en');
```

Translating
-----------

[](#translating)

```
echo $translator->translate('welcome', ['name' => 'Jordan']);

$translator->has('welcome');
$translations = $translator->all();
```

Missing keys and keys whose value is `null` fall back to the original key. Valid empty strings, zero values, and `false` values are returned exactly as stored.
