Multi language - template

[nikola]

I'm doing a multilanguage site that will contain 3 languages with multi tree approach.

I'll have tree set up as following:

Home

- hr

  - page 1

  - page 2

  - ...

- en

  - page 1

  - page 2

  - ...

- de

  - page 1

  - page 2

  - ...

Pages under each language branch are using language specific templates.

I want to avoid having too many templates all together, so my question is how to accomplish this scenario:

Instead using language specific templates, I want to use let's say, one template that will have language specific code based on hr, en or de selection.

How can I check if page is under the "hr" branch and then use specific code for "hr"? Same procedure will be for "en" and "de", all contained in one template.

You could just use a switch command for the title?

switch ($page->parent->title) {
case "hr":
	// do something
	break;
case "en":
	// do something
	break;
case "de":
	// do something
	break;
case "" :
	// do something
	break;
}

That's an easy scenario. Code of VKNT is ok but not working for all pages and levels. Since it uses only $page->parent.

If we assume the language tree branches are under the root level like /hr/, /en/ you can check for it in the url using strpos or alike, or by  using $page->rootParent->name == 'hr' for example. Your choice.

I got a language check that is like this, saving it in a session is not required but I needed it in this project. Setting a $lang and a $langpath variable is also project specific. But you get the idea.

<?php

// get path of request for finding langpath
$url = $page->path;

if($session->lang){
// if on langpath as in session or requested by /objects/...
if(strpos($url,$session->langpath) !== FALSE ){
	$lang = $session->lang;
	$langpath = $session->langpath;
}else{
	$lang = '';
}
}
else{
$lang = '';
}

if($lang == ''){
if(strpos($url,"/de-ch/") !== FALSE){
	$langpath = 'de-ch';
	$lang = 'de';
}
else if(strpos($url,"/en-ch/") !== FALSE){
	$langpath = "en-ch";
	$lang = 'en';
}
else if(strpos($url,"/fr-fr/") !== FALSE){
	$langpath = "fr-fr";
	$lang = "fr";
}
else if(strpos($url,"/en-fr/") !== FALSE){
	$langpath = "en-fr";
	$lang = "en";
}
else if(strpos($url,"/de-de/") !== FALSE){
	$langpath = "de-de";
	$lang = "de";
}
else{
	$langpath = "de-ch";
	$lang = "de";	
}

$session->set('lang',$lang); 
$session->set('langpath',$langpath);

}

/**
*  YAML Language files
*	import yaml language file for common translations
*  
*  key: "value"
*
*  Available in php with $txt['key']
*/

require_once($config->paths->root . "site/libs/yaml/sfYaml.php");
require_once($config->paths->root . "site/libs/yaml/sfYamlParser.php");

// instance a parser object
$yaml = new sfYamlParser();

// parse language file
$txt = $yaml->parse(file_get_contents($config->paths->root . "site/languages/" . $lang . ".yaml"));

?>

Thank you both, I got the idea how to make it work.
