PHP Arrays
File Extension(s) | .php |
i18n type(s) | PHP_ARRAY |
Sample data
<?php
$LANG = array(
"january" => "enero",
"february" => "febrero",
"march" => "marzo",
"april" => "abril",
"may" => "mayo",
"june" => "junio",
"july" => "julio",
"august" => "agosto",
"september" => "septiembre",
"october" => "octubre",
"november" => "noviembre",
"december" => "diciembre"
);>
Handling Variables in PHP Arrays
Our PHP parser is only responsible for detecting and extracting strings from a PHP Array. If variables are included, then they must be handled in the manner explained by the following example:
FOOTER_COPY1" => "© .date("Y") MY CORPORATION LTD. All Rights Reserved.
The function date needs to be replaced in the PHP file with variables as seen below:
<?php
$thisyear = date("Y");
return array(
"FOOTER_COPY1" => "© {$thisyear} MY CORPORATION LTD. All rights reserved."
PHP Alternative Array
File Extension(s) | .php |
i18n type(s) | PHP_ALT_ARRAY |
Sample data
<?php
$LANG['_MONDAY'] = "Monday";
$LANG["_TUESDAY"] = 'Tuesday';
/**This is a multiline
* comment***/
$LANG["_WEDNESDAY"] = '';
$LANG["_Thursday"] = "Thursday";
?>
PHP DEFINE statements
File Extension(s) | .php |
i18n type(s) | PHP_DEFINE |
Sample data
<?php
DEFINE("january", "enero");
DEFINE("february", "febrero");
DEFINE("march", "marzo");
DEFINE("april", "abril");
DEFINE("may", "mayo");
DEFINE("june", "junio");
DEFINE("july", "julio");
DEFINE("august", "agosto");
DEFINE("september", "septiembre");
DEFINE("october", "octubre");
DEFINE("november", "noviembre");
DEFINE("december", "diciembre");
?>
Default placeholders
These are the default placeholders that you could have in your file, and they will be recognized :

Download options
When you download a PHP file following any of the formats mentioned in this article for use in a particular language, all empty translations are replaced by translations in the source language.
When you download the file for translation, it only contains the translations in that language.
When you download the file for review, it only includes the reviewed translations.
Parser Behavior
The following table outlines what occurs to strings when using the API, CLI, or UI to manipulate translation files depending on download mode.
*The results are compatible with parser version 1.
