Destroys all translator instances and creates a new empty translations collection.

Registers a callable object that can be used for creating new translator instances for the same translations domain. Loaders will be invoked whenever a translator object is requested for a domain that has not been configured or loaded already.

Registering loaders is useful when you need to lazily use translations in multiple different locales for the same domain, and don't want to use the built-in translation service based of gettext files.

Loader objects will receive two arguments: The domain name that needs to be built, and the locale that is requested. These objects can assemble the messages from any source, but must return an Aura\Intl\Package object.

Example:

use Cake\I18n\MessagesFileLoader;
 I18n::config('my_domain', function ($name, $locale) {
     // Load resources/locales/$locale/filename.po
     $fileLoader = new MessagesFileLoader('filename', $locale, 'po');
     return $fileLoader();
 });

You can also assemble the package object yourself:

use Aura\Intl\Package;
 I18n::config('my_domain', function ($name, $locale) {
     $package = new Package('default');
     $messages = (...); // Fetch messages for locale from external service.
     $package->setMessages($message);
     $package->setFallback('default');
     return $package;
 });

Parameters

Returns the currently configured default formatter.

Returns

Returns the default locale.

This returns the default locale before any modifications, i.e. the value as stored in the intl.default_locale PHP setting before any manipulation by this class.

Returns

Will return the currently configure locale as stored in the intl.default_locale PHP setting.

Returns

Returns an instance of a translator that was configured for the name and locale.

If no locale is passed then it takes the value returned by the getLocale() method.

Parameters

Returns

Throws

Sets the name of the default messages formatter to use for future translator instances. By default the default and sprintf formatters are available.

Parameters

Sets the default locale to use for future translator instances.

This also affects the intl.default_locale PHP setting.

Parameters

Sets a translator.

Configures future translators, this is achieved by passing a callable as the last argument of this function.

Example:

I18n::setTranslator('default', function () {
     $package = new \Aura\Intl\Package();
     $package->setMessages([
         'Cake' => 'Gâteau'
     ]);
     return $package;
 }, 'fr_FR');

 $translator = I18n::getTranslator('default', 'fr_FR');
 echo $translator->translate('Cake');

You can also use the Cake\I18n\MessagesFileLoader class to load a specific file from a folder. For example for loading a my_translations.po file from the resources/locales/custom folder, you would do:

I18n::setTranslator(
 'default',
 new MessagesFileLoader('my_translations', 'custom', 'po'),
 'fr_FR'
);

Parameters

Returns the translators collection instance. It can be used for getting specific translators based of their name and locale or to configure some aspect of future translations that are not yet constructed.

Returns

Set if the domain fallback is used.
