I have my php gettext default language in English let's say
I would like in one of my controller, to translate some words in 2 other languages and put them all in an array.
ideally I could do
$word_sv = gettext($word, 'sv_SV');
$word_fi = gettext($word, 'fi_FI');
but it doesn't exist.
Is the only way to change the overall gettext settings each time?
function setLang($lang){
putenv("LC_ALL=$lang");
setlocale(LC_ALL, $lang);
bindtextdomain("myPHPApp", "./locale");
textdomain("myPHPApp");
}
setLang('sv_SV');
$word_sv = gettext($word);
setLang('fi_FI');
$word_fi = gettext($word);
related: saw it on Google after : i18n with gettext but without the locale hassle?
here are the proposed answered solutions:
I know the pains of using gettext, but its performance is what keeps me with it !
In your case, you might want to look at this little project ? i'm pretty sure this might help you !
this simply uses .ini files with translations, you can freely switch between files and echo the different languages for the same word.
