This behavior provides a way to translate dynamic data by keeping translations in a separate table linked to the original record from another one. Translated fields can be configured to override those in the main table when fetched or put aside into another property for the same entity.
If you wish to override fields, you need to call the locale method in this behavior for setting the language you want to fetch from the translations table.
If you want to bring all or certain languages for each of the fetched records, you can use the custom translations finders that is exposed to the table.

Constructor
fields: List of fields which need to be translated. Providing this fields list is mandatory when using EavStrategy. If the fields list is empty when using ShadowTableStrategy then the list will be auto generated based on shadow table schema.defaultLocale: The locale which is treated as default by the behavior. Fields values for defaut locale will be stored in the primary table itself and the rest in translation table. If not explicitly set the value of I18n::getDefaultLocale() will be used to get default locale. If you do not want any default locale and want translated fields for all locales to be stored in translation table then set this config to empty string ''.allowEmptyTranslations: By default if a record has been translated and stored as an empty string the translate behavior will take and use this value to overwrite the original field value. If you don't want this behavior then set this option to false.validator: The validator that should be used when translation records are created/modified.

Custom finder method used to retrieve all translations for the found records. Fetched translations can be filtered by locale by passing the locales key in the options array.
Translated values will be found for each entity under the property _translations, containing an array indexed by locale name.
$article = $articles->find('translations', ['locales' => ['eng', 'deu'])->first();

Get the table instance this behavior is bound to.
Cake\ORM\TableimplementedEvents(): array<string, mixed>
Gets the Model callbacks this behavior is interested in.
By defining one of the callback methods a behavior is assumed to be interested in the related event.
Override this method if you need to add non-conventional event listeners. Or if you want your behavior to listen to non-standard events.
array<string, mixed>implementedFinders(): array
implementedFinders
Provides an alias->methodname map of which finders a behavior implements. Example:
[ 'this' => 'findThis', 'alias' => 'findMethodName' ]
With the above example, a call to $table->find('this') will call $behavior->findThis() and a call to $table->find('alias') will call $behavior->findMethodName()
It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples
arrayReflectionExceptionimplementedMethods(): array
implementedMethods
Provides an alias->methodname map of which methods a behavior implements. Example:
[ 'method' => 'method', 'aliasedMethod' => 'somethingElse' ]
With the above example, a call to $table->method() will call $behavior->method() and a call to $table->aliasedMethod() will call $behavior->somethingElse()
It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples
arrayReflectionExceptioninitialize(array<string, mixed> $config): void
Initialize hook
Implement this method to avoid having to overwrite the constructor and call parent.
array<string, mixed> $config The config for this behavior.
voidreferenceName(Cake\ORM\Table $table): string
Determine the reference name to use for a given table
The reference name is usually derived from the class name of the table object (PostsTable -> Posts), however for autotable instances it is derived from the database table the object points at - or as a last resort, the alias of the autotable instance.
Cake\ORM\Table $table The table class to get a reference name for.
stringsetConfig(array<string, mixed>|string $key, mixed|null $value = null, bool $merge = true): $this
Sets the config.
Setting a specific value:
$this->setConfig('key', $value); Setting a nested value:
$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value); Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);
array<string, mixed>|string $key The key to set, or a complete array of configs.
mixed|null $value optional The value to set.
bool $merge optional Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.
$thisCake\Core\Exception\CakeExceptionsetDefaultStrategyClass(string $class): void
Set default strategy class name.
string $class Class name.
voidsetLocale(string|null $locale): $this
Sets the locale that should be used for all future find and save operations on the table where this behavior is attached to.
When fetching records, the behavior will include the content for the locale set via this method, and likewise when saving data, it will save the data in that locale.
Note that in case an entity has a _locale property set, that locale will win over the locale set via this method (and over the globally configured one for that matter)!
string|null $locale The locale to use for fetching and saving records. Pass null in order to unset the current locale, and to make the behavior fall back to using the globally configured locale.
$thissetStrategy(Cake\ORM\Behavior\Translate\TranslateStrategyInterface $strategy): $this
Set strategy class instance.
Cake\ORM\Behavior\Translate\TranslateStrategyInterface $strategy Strategy class instance.
$thistable(): Cake\ORM\Table
Get the table instance this behavior is bound to.
Cake\ORM\TabletranslationField(string $field): string
Returns a fully aliased field name for translated fields.
If the requested field is configured as a translation field, the content field with an alias of a corresponding association is returned. Table-aliased field name is returned for all other fields.
string $field Field name to be aliased.
