Localizing strings in a domain

All strings which are displayed in user interfaces must be localized. Reusable strings should be defined as constants in the localization domain which the source code belongs.

###Localize all strings

Each string is localized by enclosing it with T_(string $text), or any of the other localization strings. See [Localization functions](Localization functions) for complete list.

• Check if any strings already is defined in common.domain.php as a constant.
• Replace them with the associated constants defined in common.domain.php.

###Identify reusable localized string

Reusable localized strings should only be localized once in <module>.domain.php. For examples, see common.domain.php.

• Define any duplicate strings in the module into <module>.domain.php as a constant.
• Replace all duplicate strings with this constant.

###Translate localized strings to supported locales
