gettext library

[eluser]Elianora la blanche[/eluser]
Hi !

I found this article in the wiki : gettext and choose the first method by Tassimo, I created the locale dirs and lang.po/lang.mo files

I put that in my controller :

Code:

$this->lang->load_gettext('fr_FR');

and that in my view :

Code:

<h1>&lt;?php echo $this->lang->line('wcp_welcome_text'); ?&gt; CodeIgniter</h1>

here is my lang.po content :

Code:

msgid "welcome_text"
msgstr "Bienvenue sur le site de test de"

msgid "test_by"
msgstr "Les tests ici présents sont réalisés par"

msgid "user_mgt"
msgstr "Gestion des utilisateurs"

the problem is it prints nothing

thanks for help and sorry for my english

I don't see a method in the library that outputs a line and the

Code:

$this->gettextbis->line('messSingle', array('plural' => 'messPlur', 'count' => 2, 'd' => 18));

is something that comes out of thin air.

You have to correct the class if you want to work with it.

[eluser]Elianora la blanche[/eluser]
in the wiki page is written

It’s based on the original CI_Language library, and doesn’t replaces the original line metho

the basic line function should work...

gettextbis is in the second method with another library... or maybe I didn't understand all ^^

I didn't check the zip attached to the wiki page. There the Gettextbis method needs to renamed to MY_Language and then it should work. I guess he named the library like that and forgot to change the constructor when he ported it to CI.

I corrected the class like this :

Code:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

/**
* Gettext management library with plural and dynamic allocation
*
* This class extends the original language library of Code Igniter.
* It has been implemented from Tassoman classes. You can use plural and ask for dynamic allocation of values.

now I get a fatal error :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_instance() in /home/elianora/public_html/codeigniter/system/application/libraries/MY_Language.php on line 83

here is the line :

Code:

$CI =& get_instance();

in system/libraries/Language.php we can find the same line and it seems to work...

I just make a library which can auto translate all text between {t} and {/t} in the view, I posted here in case some one want to use it instead calling the gettext function in the view:

http://www.chuongduong.net/page/15/codei...-view.html

The view code might be:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>{blog_title}</title>
</head>
<body>

<h3>{blog_heading}</h3>
{blog_entries}

<h5>{t}Title is{/t}  {title}</h5>

<p>{t 1="<b>" 2="</b>"}Click here %1to see%2 me{/t}{body}</p>

<p>{t 1="{id}" 2="author"}The id is: %1 wrote by %2{/t}</p>

<p>{t 1="<a >" 2="</a>"}Please lick on me%2{/t}</p>

{/blog_entries}

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;
