Yes i have just read this page…

My question was directed to someone who had just done this work as to facilitate the work telling me how can…

4

Using Yii::t() function you can do that.

5

Yes i have read of this function Yii::t()…but where I put???

In the main???In the controller???

6

You can put everywhere: in a model, or in a controller, but generally you can find them in the views.

7

Ah ok,now i try to put this function in the view of one of my model and i look what’s happens

But putting this feature only get the internalization??

But how do I tell him I want the English translation?

Pass the argument in the function?

8

in you application configuration you can set these 2 attributes:

  1. language: the language you want to use for this user. So to use the english translation you set this to ‘en_us’ (for USA english) or ‘en_en’ (for British english).

  2. sourceLanguage: the language you have used when developing your web-application, e.g. ‘it_it’ for italian.

Anywhere in your application (view or source code) where you want to use a string which needs to be translated you use:


Yii::t('yii','Buon giorno')

Some examples:




$messageString=Yii::t('yii','Bellisimo');







<ul>

<li>1. <?php echo Yii::t('yii','Uno'); ?> </li>

<li>2. <?php echo Yii::t('yii','Dos'); ?> </li>

<li>3. <?php echo Yii::t('yii','Tres'); ?> </li>

</ul>
