I've already read about raising events, but to be honest, I have my difficulties understanding the set up process. As I'm developing a multilingual website, I'd like to know if I've forgotten a translation.

A few months ago, I already wrote a little helper tool which analyses the differences between all translation files. But if a translation is non existent in any of the files, this tool doesn't recognize it.

So could you please write a short example for me how and where to listen to the missing translation event?

Thank you very much

You should attach a event handler before the event ist raised. Since 'messages' is an application component, you can configure that e.g. in the main.php config:

    'components'=>array(
        'messages'=>array(
            'onMissingTranslation'=>array('MyClass','mymethod'),
        ),

Now if you supply MyClass somewhere, MyClass::mymethod() will get called, when the event is raised. There are different ways you can specify the event handler, see API for CComponent.

Works perfectly, thanks, Mike!

Due to a lack of creativity I used MyClass and mymethod Now every missing translation is thrown into a table:

Table structure:

• language (CHAR 2)
  
• category (VARCHAR(64)
  
• message (TEXT)

<?php
class MyClass
{
    public function mymethod(CMissingTranslationEvent $event)
    {
        $db = new ListMissingTranslation;
        $db->attributes = (array) $event;
        $db->save(false);
    }
}

Later versions may translate it automatically via google's translate api.
