Introduction
============

[](#introduction)

This plugin provides tools for internationalization in CakePHP 5:

I18nRoute – generate and match routes with language prefixes (/{lang}/{controller}/{action}).

I18nMiddleware – automatically sets locale via I18n::setLocale() based on URL prefix and optionally redirects root / to default or browser-detected language.

DbMessagesLoader – load translation messages from the database instead of .po/.mo files.

Validation translation – auto-translate validation messages.

TimezoneWidget – generate a box of timezones grouped by region. Installation composer require zvezda/cakephp-i18n Usage Load Plugin In CakePHP 5, use Application.php to load plugins: // src/Application.php public function bootstrap(): void { parent::bootstrap(); $this->addPlugin(\\ADmad\\I18n\\Plugin::class); } I18nRoute Define routes with language prefix: use ADmad\\I18n\\Routing\\I18nRoute; $routes->scope('/', function ($routes) { $routes->connect( '/{controller}', \['action' => 'index'\], \['routeClass' => I18nRoute::class\] ); $routes->connect( '/{controller}/{action}/\*', \[\], \['routeClass' => I18nRoute::class\] ); }); Set supported languages in config/app.php: return \[ 'I18n' => \[ 'languages' => \['en', 'fr', 'de'\] \] \]; I18nMiddleware Configure middleware in Application::middleware(): use ADmad\\I18n\\Middleware\\I18nMiddleware; $middlewareQueue->add(new I18nMiddleware(\[ 'detectLanguage' => true, 'defaultLanguage' => 'en', 'languages' => \[ 'en' => \['locale' => 'en\_US'\], 'fr' => \['locale' => 'fr\_FR'\], \], \])); Notes: Add after RoutingMiddleware. Configure a root route / to prevent missing route errors: $routes->connect('/', \['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home'\]); DbMessagesLoader Store translation messages in the database instead of .po files. Create i18n\_messages table using the SQL file in config/. Configure loader in config/bootstrap.php: use ADmad\\I18n\\I18n\\DbMessagesLoader; use Cake\\I18n\\I18n; I18n::config('default', function ($domain, $locale) { $loader = new DbMessagesLoader($domain, $locale); return $loader(); }); Extract messages from code: bin/cake admad/i18n extract --languages en,fr,de TimezoneWidget Register in AppView: $this->loadHelper('Form', \[ 'widgets' => \[ 'timezone' => \['ADmad/I18n.Timezone'\], \], \]); Use in forms: // Full timezone list $this->Form->control('field', \['type' => 'timezone'\]); // Specific regions $this->Form->control('field', \[ 'type' => 'timezone', 'options' => \[ 'Asia' => DateTimeZone::ASIA, 'Europe' => DateTimeZone::EUROPE, \], \]);
