Ride: I18n Library
==================

[](#ride-i18n-library)

Internationalization library of the PHP Ride framework.

What's In This Library
----------------------

[](#whats-in-this-library)

### Locale

[](#locale)

A *Locale* is the interface for a locale definition. This is a simple representation with a name, code and extra properties.

These locales are contained in a *LocaleManager* instance. This manager controls the current and default locale.

A *LocaleIO* feeds the *LocaleManager* with locales. The locales should be sorted in the order of importance for the system. The first locale is considered the default locale.

### Negotiator

[](#negotiator)

A *Negotiator* is used to detect the current locale. It's invoked when the current locale is not set.

You can use the *ChainedNegotiator* to implement multiple detection mechanisms in a chain.

### Translator

[](#translator)

A *Translator* is the interface to translate keys into a localized string. The interface supports a difference between singular and plural forms of a translation key.

The translators are managed by a *TranslatorManager*. *Translator* instances can be requested with the *Locale* instance.

### I18n

[](#i18n)

The I18n class glues the different parts together into an easy facade.
