Features -------- [](#features) - ISO 639-2 & ISO 639-3 *partly* compatible - ISO 15924 compatible - Inline replacement translation like gettext - Plurals translation with natural number calculation - Translation domains for modular translation (plugins, addons, etc...) - Scan directory for available translation files - Helpers in header for HTML encoding, language and writing direction Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 5.3+ To-do ----- [](#to-do) - Demo for the masses! - Faster (non-blocking) file reading and parsing - ISO 6801 compatible date and time implementation - Fix extension case sensitivity - Check plural formulas - Faster soluton for plural testing - Some basic debug helpers - Evaluator for directories to check for ZLO and create a translation file from it - A better README - Compatibility with ISO 639-1 (?) - PSR compatibility - DocBlocks documentation Version ------- [](#version) - 0.0.4 Usage ===== [](#usage) Instantiating ------------- [](#instantiating) ``` use Zamphyr\ZLO; include 'libzlo.php'; $libzlo = new ZLO\libzlo("path/to/your/translation_files"); /** * Set ZL_LANG to current language you want to use. * You don't have to use $_GET it's just simple. */ $libzlo->ZL_LANG = isset($_GET["zl"]) ? $_GET['zl'] : NULL; ``` Translation ----------- [](#translation) Put the literal string for translation inside *zlo()* function, and let the magic happen. ``` echo $libzlo->zlo("Friday") ``` or if you're using it inside markup: ``` ``` You can pass a number as a parameter and get the adequate non-singular form of the phrase for that number as a translation. This makes sense for non-English speakers, Arabic in particular. ``` ``` Function calculates the form needed for number 13 in this case, and returns the translation in the proper form. Meta stuff ---------- [](#meta-stuff) If you want to check the instantiated directory for available trnaslation files use *zlo\_lang\_list()*. Returns an array with filenames. ``` $libzlo->zlo_lang_list() ``` Header function *zlo\_header()* will return an associative array with values from your translation header. You can pass *$code* of a translation file as a variable to check a file that's not being used at the moment. ``` $libzlo->zlo_header(string* $code) ``` You can get the stats for a translation file using *zlo\_stat()* It returns an array with useful info which includes: - Number of sources - Number of translations - Number of flagged translations - Translated per cent - Fuzzy translatons per cent - Translation file size in bytes ``` $libzlo->zlo_stat($libzlo->ZL_LANG); ``` Contact & donations ----------------------- [](#contact--donations) You can get in touch with me via the e-mail noted inside the library or click the Gitter badge and we can chat about ZLO. If you wish to port libZLO to other languages, frameworks or systems, let me know so I can help you out.
