Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

### Information

[](#information)

i18n will create a folder named "i18n" please make sure it is readable

### Installation

[](#installation)

1. Via composer: `composer require stantabcorp/i18n`
2. Via manually download and install

### Initialization

[](#initialization)

In the i18n constructor your must-have **3** parameters:

1. The language you want to display your website **or** true to use AutoDetect
2. The default language
3. An array of available languages
4. An array of options

**Example:**Without AutoDetect:

```
$i18n = new i18n("en", "en", ["en", "fr"])

```

This will set the language to `en` (English), set the default language to `en` (English) and set that `en` (English) and `fr` (French) are available

With AutoDetect:

```
$i18n = new i18n(true, "en", ["en", "fr"])

```

This will set the language to AutoDetect, set the default language and set available language for AutoDetect

AutoDetect, use the Accept-Language HTTP Header to determine the best matching locale to use.

### Usage

[](#usage)

In order to get a translation you just need to:

```
$i18n->get("index_in_your_file");
```

If you want to use sections in your ini file use the following syntax:

```
$i18n->get("section_name[index_in_your_file]");
// OR
$i18n->get("section_name.index_in_your_file");
```

If you want to get the current language:

```
$i18n->getLang();
```

You want to change the language?

```
$i18n->setLang("language");
```

You don't want to use `sprintf`?! No problem:

```
$i18n->replace("string", [
    "string" => "strong"
]);
```

Want to change the translation folder on the fly?

```
$i18n->setFolder("path/to/the/new/folder");
```

Want to get the active folder?

```
$i18n->getFolder();
```

Want to set the available languages?

```
$i18n->setAvailableLanguages(array);
```

Want to get the available languages?

```
$i18n->getAvailableLanguage();
```

Now, let set and get the default language

```
$i18n->setDefaultLanguage("string");
$i18n->getDefaultLanguage();
```

### File syntax

[](#file-syntax)

**Sections are supported by i18n, see options to enable it**

*Example file:*

```
word1 = "Some word"
word2 = "Some other word"

[section_name]
word1 = "A word in a section"
word2 = "Another word in the same section"
```

### Options

[](#options)

The fourth parameter when initializing the i18n class is an array.
Accepted values are:

- `error`, a boolean to enable or disable error throwing
- `sections`, a boolean to enable or not sections in the ini files
- `path`, to set a path for the translations

### Twig Extension

[](#twig-extension)

i18n provide a simple Twig extension. To enable it, simply add a new extension to twig:

```
$i18nTwig = new i18nTwigExtension($i18n); // $i18n should be an instance of i18n\i18n
$twig->addExtension($i18nTwig);
```

In order to use it in a twig template, simply call (with the same syntax for section):

```
{{ i18n('index in your file') }}
```
