PHP-I18n is a simple I18N and L10n library.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

PHP-I18n uses [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) as dependency management tool.

`$ composer install`

Use
---

[](#use)

Create a folder called `config/locales` at your app/module, and put your locale YAML files there. (an example of valid YAML file can found in the source). Then call `I18n::t`, in one of the ways below.

### Simple key/value lookup

[](#simple-keyvalue-lookup)

```
$translated = I18n::t('example_message');
```

### Locale override

[](#locale-override)

```
$translated = I18n::t('example_message', [], 'pt_BR');
```

### Injecting arguments

[](#injecting-arguments)

```
$translated = I18n::t('hello_message', ['user' => 'Bob']); // 'Hello Bob'
```

**Note about formatting** currently the library does not apply formatting to arguments.

### Localisation

[](#localisation)

Create a section 'l10n' on your locale file and follow the source standards.

```
$value = I18n::l(true);    // 'verdadeiro'
$value = I18n::l(123.45); // '123,45'

```
