Yii2 language switcher
======================

[](#yii2-language-switcher)

Yii has multi-language support, but there are not about content. Content, ordinary, should be on a different sites.

But, for blog, it's not convenient. Simpler translate right in place:

```

  Текст на родном языке.

  Text in native language.

```

So, two classes have defined: `.ru`, `.en`. For current languge - ru-RU, will show html-tags with class `.ru`and tags with class `.en` cleaned up. If has pressed languge switcher, tags with `.ru` cleaned up and with `.en` shows.

Fields with a "short" length (e.g. "title"), language version divided by "/".

This approach is implemented in this little extension for two languages.

Languages can be arbitrary.

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

[](#installation)

In app directory:

```
$ composer require sergmoro1/yii2-lang-switcher "dev-master"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Register widget in app - `common/config/main.php`: ```

```

In menu place the switcher:

```

```

In a model should be provided getting data for current language. Behavior shoul be connected in a model `/common/models/Post.php`.

```
public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'LangSwitcher' => ['class' => LangSwitcher::className()],
    ];
}
```

Post content can be shown in `frontend/views/post/view.php`

```

```

and title.

```

```

Data to be displayed uniformly, including RSS, need in the model `common/models/Post.php`to define a method `fields`

```
public function fields()
{
    return [
        'id', 'author_id', 'slug',
        'title' => function ($model) { return $model->splitByLanguage('title'); },
        'content' => function ($model) { return $model->excludeByLanguage('content'); },
        'tags', 'status', 'created_at', 'updated_at',
    ];
}
```

Static content
--------------

[](#static-content)

To apply the proposed approach to static pages, you need to pass the content through the filter of the `excludeByLanguage()`. This requires that `frontend/controllers/SiteController` inherits from controller defined in the extension. ```
use sergmoro1\langswitcher\controllers\Controller;
class SiteController extends Controller
{

```

Remember that in the `sitemap` is also necessary to take into account the language version.
