You now have the new command. You can use it as follows:

  • To extract messages from your bundle and display in the console:

    bcc:trans:update --dump-messages fr MyBundle

  • You can save them to the MyBundle\Resources\translations directory:

    bcc:trans:update --force fr MyBundle

  • In another language:

    bcc:trans:update --force en MyBundle

  • Specify the output format with the --output-format option (either yml, xliff, php or pot):

    bcc:trans:update --output-format="xliff" --force en MyBundle

  • Change the prefix used for newly added messages with the --prefix option:

    bcc:trans:update --output-format="xliff" --force --prefix='myprefix' en MyBundle

Twig extensions examples

Translate a date value :

  • {{ user.createdAt | localeDate }} to have a medium date and no time, in the current locale

  • {{ user.createdAt | localeDate('long','medium') }} to have a long date and medium time, in the current locale

Translate a contry :

  • {{ user.country | country }} to have the country, in the current locale

  • {{ user.country | country('c ountry does not exist') }} Define the returned value if the country does not exist

DateFormatter examples

Get the service:

<?php

$dateFormatter = $container->get('bcc_extra_tools.date_formatter');

Parse a date:

<?php

$date = $dateFormatter->parse('November 1, 2011', 'en'); // obtains a datetime instance

Format a date:

<?php

echo $dateFormatter->format($date, 'long', 'none', 'fr'); // echoes : "1 novembre 2011"

Note that the locale parameter (here 'fr' and 'en') are optionnal, default is the current locale.

Unit converter examples

Get the service:

<?php

$unitConverter = $container->get('bcc_extra_tools.unit_converter');

Convert a value:

<?php

echo $unitConverter->parse(1000, 'm', 'km'); // echoes : 1

Guess the source unit:

<?php

echo $unitConverter->parse('1h', 'm'); // echoes : 60
