message translation into .po

I'm trying the translation functionnality, which is a core problem for me.

I used it like this:

for($i=0; $i < 5; $i++) {


        echo Yii::t('yii', '0#There is not any file|1# There is one file |1,Inf#There are {number} files', array($i, '{number}'=>$i)) . '<br/>';


}


and I got

Quote

Il n'y a pas de fichier

Il y a un fichier

Il y a 2 fichiers

Il y a 3 fichiers

Il y a 4 fichiers

No problem. An example in the documentation or in the cookbook could be good.

I can grab the sentence into the message php files with

protected/yiic message protected/messages/config.php

How can I grab into gettext .po file, which is much easier to translate?

As PHPMessageSource is said faster and as I did not find any response, I played with the command line and made a converter between po and php.

  • Copy the attachment to

    protected/commands/PoPHPCommand.php
  • Convert .php to .po

    protected/yiic pophp php protected/messages/config.php
    (beware of the header and specially the nplural formula)
  • Convert .po to .php

    protected/yiic pophp php protected/messages/config.php

The code is widely inspired from CGettextPoFile.php and cli/commands/MessageCommand.php.

As the link is broken, I attach the file again.

Thanks, this is very useful. I think that if you add it to the extensions section more people will find it.

guillemc, thanks for your message.

As you’re the second person who tells it, I’ve added http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/pophpcommand/ , even if it is not an extension, but a simple command.

Since my last message, I put new version of this command line tool : http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/pophpcommand/ . I hope it could help someone.

Hi!

I’ve just downloaded the EMessageCommand.zip extension for yii and I can’t get it work.

  • I put a “echo Yii::t(‘loc’, ‘HELLO’);” line in my php

  • I called "protected/yiic message protected/messages/config.php" to generate php files.

    This call generated the following file in name loc.php (comments are removed):

<?php

return array (

‘HELLO’ => ‘Hello’,

);

  • I executed your command to generate po files: "protected/yiic emessage php protected/messages/config.php"

    This call generated the loc.po file:

msgid ""

msgstr ""

"Project-Id-Version: loc.php\n"

"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"

"POT-Creation-Date: 2011-02-15 12:54+0000\n"

"PO-Revision-Date: 2011-02-15 12:54+0000\n"

"Last-Translator: \n"

"Language-Team: en <translation-team-en@lists.sourceforge.net>\n"

"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"

"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

"X-Generator: Yii EMessage\n"

"Generated-By: Yii EMessage\n"

"Plural-Forms: nplurals = 2; plural = n ! = 1;\n"

msgid "HELLO"

msgstr "Hello"

  • When I execute the original php: “echo Yii::t(‘loc’, ‘HELLO’);”

    Yii/CGettextPoFile.php can read this file, loads messages, but

    returns an empty array because the context of the call (‘loc’) doesn’t

    equal the context of the message (’’).

There is no msgctxt in the file.

Can you help me? Where is the problem about these context values?

Yii assumes that the context is in the "msgctxt" line and your command

doesn’t generated such lines.

Thank you,

Tamás

Hi,

yes, you’re right, the generator does not write the “msgctxt” line.

In fact, I created this script to use a translation tool like Lokalize and to update my .po files to Launchpad so as to benefit collaborative translation.

the .po files need more resource to be read, I prefer convert the .po files to .php files after, and use the standard way of Yii.

the context is not handled, but it could be done easily in savePo(), with the basename of the file.

The last release do not need any more the config file path.

It is possible to find duplicates without considering the case:


protected/yiic emessage duplicates --caseSensitive=false

EMessageCommand

[color="#1C2837"][size="2"]When I run "protected/yiic emessage php" command, I get the error saying:

PHP Error[8]: Undefined variable: sourcePath

in file …/protected/commands/EMessageCommand.php at line 210[/size][/color]

[color="#1C2837"][size="2"]The config file was setup as follows:[/size][/color][color="#1C2837"][size="2"]




<?php


return array(

	'sourcePath'=>'../WebRoot/themes/deepBlue/views/',

	'messagePath'=>'../protected/messages/',

	'languages'=>array('en', 'tw', 'jp'),

);

What gives? If I remove the sourcePath in the config, it then tells me I need that variable defined (Error: The configuration file must specify "sourcePath", "messagePath" and "languages".)

I setup the directory structure so that framework, WebRoot, runtime, protected folders are under the same root directory.

Can anyone help? [/size][/color]

I found no easy way to contribute to changes so I set up a git mirror and fork of the extension on https://github.com/motin/emessage-command

My (minor) fixes will be available there. Feel free to fork it in any way you prefer.

I was not aware of your replies. I’ve just seen them. I subscribed again to the topic.

Thanks Motin for your corrections.

I’ve updated the extension EMessageCommand. It contains new actions :


check

,


credits

and


removeEmptyFiles

.

I did not forked your branch on GitHub, because I use theses files in a project.

hello,

I’ve just downloaded the EMessageCommand.zip extension for yii and I can’t get it work.

Someone can give me a exemple of the config.php ?

I put this file in this directory :

\application\protected\messages\

I use this cmd :

c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.exe yiic message messages/config.php

I have this message error in my console :

and here my config.php :




return array(

	'sourceePath'=> dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'../protected/',

    'messagePath'=> dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'../protected/messages/',

    'languages' => array('en','fr'),

    'launchpad' => true,

    'fileTypes' => array('php','po'),

    'translator'=>'Yii::t',

    

    )



any advice or ideas?

Thanks

Nath

Here the correct config.php




return array(

        'sourcePath'=>'../protected/views/',

        'messagePath'=>'../protected/messages/',

        'languages'=>array('en', 'fr'),

);






now my problem is that the command :

doesn’t work.

I would like to convert my file .php into .po file

thanks

Nath

Thanks, this is very useful

@nat-0, try with


c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.exe yiic emessage php messages/config.php

from protected.

or


protected/yiic.bat emessage php protected/messages/config.php

(I do not use windows,protected/yiic.bat exists, isn’t it ?)

thanks Elliovir, but it doesn’t work.

With your exemple, the first one, I have this message error :

even if I put protected/message/config.php protected/message/config.php of message/config.php

If I try


c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.exe yiic emessage php messages/config.php

he do nothing and show me the commands available (emessage,message,migrate,shell,webapp.

And with your last exemple, eh told me that he doesn’t know yicc,bat as a internal commad !

here te correct command :

I run this command since C:\Wamp\www\nameOfApplication\protected>

to convert php file into po file.

Here where I put the file downloaded :

\protected\extensions\emessage-command\commands\EMessageCommand.php

protected\extensions\emessage-command\helpers\CLI.php

in the file console.php I Add this code




  

    'import' => array(

		'application.extensions.emessage-command.components.helpers.CLI',

	),

	'commandMap' => array(

		'emessage' => array(

			'class' => 'application.extensions.emessage-command.commands.EMessageCommand',

		),

	),



protected\messages\config.php


<?php


return array(

        'sourcePath'=>'../protected/',

        'messagePath'=>'../protected/messages/',

        'languages'=>array('en', 'fr'),

        'launchpad' => true,

);



thank you Elvior for your code

I can’t seem to get this to work for the live of me.

I’ve downloaded the EmessageCommand package, and included.

I’ve created an config file under protected/messages called emssagesConfig.php which has the following variables




return array(

        'sourcePath' => '../protected/views/',

        'messagePath' => '../protected/messages/',

        'languages' => array('en_us', 'nl_nl'),

		'launchpad' => false,

		'fileTypes' => array('php'),

		'exclude' => array('.svn', 'messages', 'config.php'),

		'translator' => 'Yii::t'

);



Removing any of these vars will cause an error when running the command

When i run the command yiic emessage php --config=messages/emessagesConfig.php i get the following error:




PHP Error[2]: strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

    in file EMessageCommand.php at line 564



I’ve looked up the line, and added some code that will check if the value given to strlen() is an array, and if so, will print it. The output of that is the following




array(2) {

  [0]=>

  string(5) "en_us"

  [1]=>

  string(5) "nl_nl"

}



So it seems to me EmessagesCommand is trying to read my config file into a po file? I can’t seem to find out what is wrong here. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I use this configuration, with absolute paths:


return array(

        'sourcePath'=>dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..',

        'messagePath'=>dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'messages',

        'languages'=>array('da', 'de', 'eo', 'fr', 'it', 'nl', 'pl'),

        'autoMerge'=>true,

        'launchpad'=>true,

        'skipUnused'=>true,

        'fileTypes'=>array('php'),

        'exclude'=>array(

                '.svn',

                '.bzr',

                '/messages',

                '/protected/vendors',

        ),

);
