Adding localization to the project

[fzipi]

Localization is a must for a generic module like this one.

Thank you, but I have a couple of questions. For one I do not use gettext files right now for translation. Does it mix with ZF2 if you use multiple different adapters? And how is the textdomain set? If I would have different modules with this structure, would it work out of the box?

Also I would remove the setting of the locale from this module. That is application specific and should go into your own application module.

Using gettext is practically unobtrusive. You just add '_' whenever you
want a string translated (well, at least in simple modules). If you want
to do the full stuff, you must consider plurals, and right to left
languages... but again, not for this simple stuff.

I didn't had any problems (yet). I think is fully supported.

And how is the textdomain set? If I would have different modules with this structure, would it work
out of the box?

See this tutorial from Manuel Stosic:
http://samminds.com/2012/09/zend-framework-2-translate-i18n-locale/

My experience is that it works out of the box. But you must have sane
defaults.. that's why I put initialization onBoostrap. But could be made
declaratively at the module config. I'm uploading these changes as you
requested.

Also I would remove the setting of the locale from this module. That is application specific and should
go into your own application module.

Done.

using _() is the wrong way to translate form labels. the form label view helper itself is aware of the translator and can translate them.

See the code at

Well, you're right in that. But, tools aren't always aware... i.e. you
should copy your strings to another file in which xgettext could parse,
or do some hack like a function _ with does nothing (like
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15961628/how-to-translate-form-labels-in-zend-framework-2).
I any case, I've taken out all '_'.

Thanks!

Personaly in think evey module needs to have the basi tranaltion files and settings.
So the modules can be used without need from custom(language files).
