======= Language Package
========================

[](#language-package)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6fac52ba55e5aa440ea010a20559875e98585757d65bcb863e5c90381b66f552/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f4d6f6c616a6f2f4c616e67756167652e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/Molajo/Language)

Language Services supporting translations for the User Interface for PHP applications using Adapters for different implementation types.

### How to specify Language

[](#how-to-specify-language)

Language strings are loaded in startup for language determined in this order (and installed):

1. Injected value during class instantiation
2. Session
3. User Data
4. Client Language
5. Application Configuration
6. Defaults to en-GB

Instantiation
-------------

[](#instantiation)

To instantiate the Language Class:

```
   $language = new Language($language);
```

Once instantiated, all calls to the class can be made using the $language instance.

Language Properties
-------------------

[](#language-properties)

To retrieve the key value (ex. 'en-GB') for the language which is loaded:

```
   $language->get('language');
```

### Retrieve Language Strings

[](#retrieve-language-strings)

To retrieve all language strings and translations for the loaded language:

```
   $language->get('strings');
```

### Retrieve List of all installed Languages

[](#retrieve-list-of-all-installed-languages)

To retrieve a list of all languages installed in this application:

```
   $language->get('installed');
```

### Retrieve Language Attribute

[](#retrieve-language-attribute)

To retrieve a registry attribute value (id, name, rtl, local, first\_day) for the loaded language:

```
   $language->get('name-of-attribute');
```

### Retrieve all Language Attributes

[](#retrieve-all-language-attributes)

To retrieve all registry attribute values as an array for the loaded language:

```
   $language->get('registry');
```

Translate
---------

[](#translate)

To translate the string $xyz:

```
   $language->translate($xyz);
```

To retrieve a list of language strings and translations matching a wildcard value:

```
   $language->translate($xyz, 1);
```

Identify Untranslated Strings
-----------------------------

[](#identify-untranslated-strings)

To insert strings found in code but are not already in database:

- If an administrator is logged on, the primary language services automatically insert untranslated strings
- To avoid doing so, override the `LanguagePlugin` and set `insert_missing_strings` to `0`
- For instances you define, set the `insert_missing_strings`, as needed.

To log strings found in code, but are not already in database:

- Set the Application configuration option `profile_missing_strings` to `1` and turn on `profiling`
