internationalization and yii

Archives Yii 1.0.x Discussions

I am trying to implement the internationalization with yii.

I use 1.0.10 version.

So I make a folder views/‘mycontrollerid’/gr and I put there the translated views there as guide says.

So at my controller I write


$app->language ="gr";

$app->session['_lang'] = $app->language;

but the translated view is not there.

What have I to do?

I had an error I had to write Yii::app() and now is ok.

But Is there a way to yii::t()or something for custom messages so not to have 2 files for the views?

3

I want to ask something else.

How can I change the core translated messages of form validation?

I want to change the greek message of verification code.

I just have to edit the php of yii or implement something else.

I create the messages/gr/yii.php and change the code that I want but it does not work.

did you read the "translation" paragraph http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/topics.i18n ?

An easy way is to use the "Yii::t" function in views :


Yii::t('yourcategory', 'Path alias "{alias}" is redefined.',

    array('{alias}'=>$alias))

For example, you write the English text in the view.php and translate in messages/gr/yourcategory.php

there is also this recipe : http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/cookbook/26/

I have already implement the cookbook.

I needed this at config/main.php


'coreMessages'=>array(


                        'class'=>'CPhpMessageSource',


                        'language'=>'gr',


                        'basePath'=>'protected/messages',


                ),

I have 2 controllers.

The site controller that will have 2 languages and the support that will have 1.

So at support init() I write


public function init() {

        parent::init();

        $app->language = "en_us";


    }

but it does not work, what must I do?

[Edit]

I solved it.


 Yii::app()->language = "en_us";

Good! I was away, hopefully you didn’t need some help.
