My source lang is Turkish , target lang is English (for example)
My test controller’s index action :
public function actionIndex()
{
Yii::app()->language='en';
$this->render("index");
}
This is my view file’s content :
echo Yii::t('test', 'Deneme');
And lastly, this is my protected/messages/en/test.php file’s content:
return array(
'Deneme' => 'Example',
);
Everything OK, it’s returning Example . But as you can see, i’m setting language manually on my index action. How can i do it automatically ? Must i add Yii::app()->language=‘en’; to all actions? How you are using l18n on your projects ?
Note : I’m Yii and l18n noob, so please describe step by step .
This wiki should point you in the right direction. Note that the wiki article is quite old. Today you will have a base controller named Controller.php already present in the protected/components directory.
if i understand exactly: you can set your sourcelanguage and your language in your main config
a.)
return array(
‘sourceLanguage’ => ‘tr’,
‘language’ => ‘en’,
…
)
b.)
or you can set it in your Controller.php (default generated into protected/components). This controller is extends the core controller definitions, and all of your controllers (default protected/controllers/*) will extend this.
the core has an action named init(). by default this will run before all actions in your controller. so its enough to write this in your components/controller.php
