Kirby Hebrew Language Support
=============================

[](#kirby-hebrew-language-support)

Hebrew language support for Kirby CMS v5+. Registers the Hebrew Panel (interface) translations **at runtime** via Kirby's plugin `translations`extension — nothing is copied into the `kirby/` core directory, so the setup survives every Kirby update.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require meirsadan/kirby-he
```

As a `kirby-plugin` it installs to `site/plugins/kirby-he` and registers its translations automatically. No install/copy step.

What it registers
-----------------

[](#what-it-registers)

- **Kirby core Panel** translations (`assets/translations/he.json`).
- **kirby-seo** (`tobimori/kirby-seo`) Panel translations (`assets/kirby-seo/he.json`), with each key prefixed `seo.` to match how that plugin namespaces its own strings.

Interface-language dropdown
---------------------------

[](#interface-language-dropdown)

Kirby builds the Panel's account **Language** selector from `Translations::load()`, which scans `kirby/i18n/translations/*.json` on disk — a plugin-registered locale alone does **not** appear there. So the plugin **self-heals**: on load it copies its bundled `he.json` into `kirby/i18n/translations/` whenever the file is missing (idempotent, and recreated automatically after a Kirby update wipes it). If the directory is read-only it silently skips. This is the one place a file must live in core; it's provisioned automatically, so there's still nothing to do by hand.

Tip: add `/kirby/i18n/translations/he.json` to your project's `.gitignore` so the auto-provisioned file doesn't show up as a change.

Slug rules (manual, one-time per project)
-----------------------------------------

[](#slug-rules-manual-one-time-per-project)

Slug transliteration rules are a **separate subsystem**: Kirby builds a language's slug rules from `kirby/i18n/rules/{code}.json` **plus** that language's own `slugs`. A plugin cannot supply either, so the rules can't be registered here.

Add them to your Hebrew language definition, `site/languages/he.php`:

```
return [
    'code' => 'he',
    // ...
    'slugs' => [
        'א' => 'a', 'ב' => 'b', 'ג' => 'g', 'ד' => 'd', 'ה' => 'h',
        'ו' => 'v', 'ז' => 'z', 'ח' => 'ch', 'ט' => 't', 'י' => 'y',
        'ך' => 'ch', 'כ' => 'ch', 'ל' => 'l', 'ם' => 'm', 'מ' => 'm',
        'ן' => 'n', 'נ' => 'n', 'ס' => 's', 'ע' => 'a', 'ף' => 'f',
        'פ' => 'p', 'ץ' => 'tz', 'צ' => 'tz', 'ק' => 'q', 'ר' => 'r',
        'ש' => 'sh', 'ת' => 't',
    ],
];
```

The canonical rule set also ships in `assets/rules/he.json` for reference.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1+
- Kirby CMS 5.0+

Updating the translations
-------------------------

[](#updating-the-translations)

Edit the JSON files in `assets/` and tag a new release. Consumers get the update on their next `composer update` — again, with nothing touching core.
