PHP i18n Support

i18n support for PHP based on JSON with unlimited languages support.

If the translation keyword doesn't exist, returns an empty string.
The PHP i18n support util supports also categories (nested architecture based on parent-> child keywords).
e.g. you can create a group of translation keywords for the menu under the menu keyword.

Easy to use

Load PHP i18n Support util

include_once './php/classes/I18nSupport.php';
$i18nUtil = new I18n();

// set own path to translation file
$i18nUtil = new I18n($pathToTranslation);

Example #1 - Nested JSON structure

// set own path to translation file
$i18nUtil = new I18n();
$i18nUtil ->loadTranslation("i18n/i18n.json");

// show translated text from the nested JSON structure
$i18nUtil->showText("sectionName", "keyName");

// returns translated text from the nested JSON structure
$i18nUtil->getText("sectionName", "keyName");

Example #2 - Flat JSON structure

// set own path to translation file
$i18nUtil = new I18n();
$i18nUtil ->loadTranslation("i18n/i18n.json");

// show translated text from the flat JSON structure
$i18nUtil->showText("keyName");

// returns translated text from the flat JSON structure
$i18nUtil->getText("keyName");

JSON file with the structured translation - section/keyword (nested JSON structure)

Sample:

{
    "navigation" : {

        "home" :  {
                "en" : "Home",
                "sk" : "Domov"
            },
        "about" : {
                "en" : "About",
                "sk" : "O stránke"
            }        
    }
}

JSON file with the simple translation structure (flat JSON structure)

Sample:

{
    "home" :  {
            "en" : "Home",
            "sk" : "Domov"
        },
    "about" : {
            "en" : "About",
            "sk" : "O stránke"
        }
}
