Translate string __(' ') on _main.php

[Cesco]

Hi 

 

is it possibile to translate some string like __('string') on _main.php neither on home.php ?

I don't see the possibility to translate the file on "File find to translate".

 

Thanks in advance

Francesco

hi cesco,

of course this is possible, maybe you have to refresh your file list (that caught me some time too):

glad it helped. actually i think that the usability of this site/module could be improved. it was also not self-explaining for me when i did my first steps with multilanguage setups...

I wonder, is there some simple mechanism for translating a __('string') for a single language site?

I'd prefer to keep Multi Language Support disabled for now.

you can put a function somewhere in your code (eg _functions.php):

function translate($string) {
  if($config->lang == 'en') {
    $translations = [
      'hallo welt' => 'hello world',
      ...
    ];
    return $translations[$string];
  }
  return $string;
}

echo translate('hallo welt'); // hallo welt

$config->lang = 'en';
echo translate('hallo welt'); // hello world

Thanks @bernhard !

In my particular case, I have a few ocurences of __('en_string') which I would like to apper as translated 'de_string' in the output.

I could modify the source(s) replacing strings statically, but that would be rather "quick and dirty".

Hm, maybe I could substitute the __() function with my own version...
