I18N.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require rancoud/i18n
```

How to use it?
--------------

[](#how-to-use-it)

You need a file `LANG.php` where LANG is the filename.
It will contains an array key values:

```
return [
    'Hello' => 'Bonjour'
];
```

You have to set the default directory and language

```
$defaultDirectory = '/path/to/translations/';
$defaultLanguage = 'en';
I18N::setDefaults($directory, $defaultLanguage);
```

In action:

```
I18N::echo('Hello');
// it will produce in output 'Hello'

I18N::echo('another string');
// it will produce in output 'another string' because the key doesn't exist in the file

$string = I18N::get('Hello');
// it will return 'Hello'

// you can use different language file instead of the default one
$string = I18N::get('string in other lang', 'es');
// it will return the translation of 'string in other lang' present in the es.php file
```
