Silex Web Translator

Introduction

This Silex Provider allows you to easily manage the translation files for your app via a web-based interface. Current features include:

• Dashboard for a quick overview of the current status of translations for your app including total translations, total locales and total untranslated strings.

• A simple editor for translation strings, allowing you to quickly see which translation strings are missing for each locale

Requirements

• PHP 5.4+
• Using YAML files for your translations. They must be formatted as <domain>.<locale>.yml. If you aren't using the domains featured of the Symfony Translation component then make sure you name your translation files messages.<locale>.yml.
• For all usage of locales in your app use the ISO 639-1 language code, an underscore (_), then the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g. fr_FR for French/France).
• Make sure you configure all locales as fallbacks when setting up the TranslationProvider.

Installation

• Configuration the default Silex TranslationServiceProvider in a similar way:

$app['locale'] = 'en_GB';
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\TranslationServiceProvider(), array(
    'locale_fallbacks' => array('en_GB', 'fr_FR', 'fi_FI'),
));

$app['translator'] = $app->share($app->extend('translator', function($translator, $app) {

    $translator->addLoader('yaml', new Symfony\Component\Translation\Loader\YamlFileLoader());

    $translator->addResource('yaml', __DIR__.'/../translations/messages.en_GB.yml', 'en_GB');
    $translator->addResource('yaml', __DIR__.'/../translations/messages.fr_FR.yml', 'fr_FR');
    $translator->addResource('yaml', __DIR__.'/../translations/messages.fi_FI.yml', 'fi_FI');
    $translator->addResource('yaml', __DIR__.'/../translations/rules.en_GB.yml', 'en_GB', 'rules');

    return $translator;
}));

• Make sure you are using and have registered the following service providers:

$app->register(new Silex\Provider\ServiceControllerServiceProvider());
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\UrlGeneratorServiceProvider());
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\FormServiceProvider());
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\ValidatorServiceProvider());
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider());

• Register the service provider and configure the options

$app['webtranslator.options'] = array(
    'translator_file_path' => __DIR__ . '/../translations/'
);
$app->register(new DC\WebTranslator\Provider\WebTranslatorServiceProvider());

• Mount the controller provider

$app->mount('/webtranslator', new DC\WebTranslator\Controller\WebTranslatorControllerProvider());

FAQ

How to protect the interface with user authentication?

• You can protect the route you mount the controller on, as you would any other route, using the Symfony security component.

Known issues

• If you import nested YML files with pretty new line (pipe) syntax, it will replace new lines with \r\n
