Hi,
I can’t find any way to change the default Yii messages (‘localID/yii.php’)
I have created a yii.php file in messages/fr/yii.php but looks like since version 1.1.2 this does not overwrite the default messages.
messages/fr/yii.php
<?php
return array (
'Get a new code' => 'Rafraîchir',
'{attribute} cannot be blank.' => 'champ requis',
);
It returns the default value from /vendors/yii/messages/fr/yii.php
'Get a new code' => 'Récupérez un nouveau code',
bump.
I really need to find out how to do this as I’m working on a project in my company.
bump.
Are you sure, this worked before?
Somehow i feel like i’ve played with this once, too (with success). But i now tried again with 1.1.3 and different 1.0.x versions. None of them used my protected/messages/de/yii.php. Also tested with different settings for language/sourceLanguage.
So, the best way would be to replace the parameter of thelanguage files location and copy Yii.php and change content ?
It should work if you configure the coreMessages component in your main.php to point to another basePath. This is the default configuration in framework/base/CApplication.php:756
protected function registerCoreComponents()
{
$components=array(
'coreMessages'=>array(
'class'=>'CPhpMessageSource',
'language'=>'en_us',
'basePath'=>YII_PATH.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'messages',
),
Something like Yii::getPathOfAlias(‘application.messages’) should do it. Not tested.
And as i said: Not sure if it also should work by overriding the coremessages in protected/messages/de/yii.php. Maybe it should and we can consider this as a bug 
You can configure it in your main.php:
'coreMessages'=>array(
'basePath'=>'path/to/your/messages',
),
