README

Introduction

POMO is a PHP package that allows you to write multi-language scripts in PHP using PO and MO files. You can use the POEdit application to create and edit these files, making it easy to translate your application into multiple languages. This package is suitable for developers who want to create multilingual PHP applications with minimal effort.

Installation

To install POMO, use Composer and run the following command:

composer require alikm6/php-pomo

Usage

To use POMO in your PHP application, you need to require the functions file located in vendor/alikm6/php-pomo/l10n.php. Once you have required this file, you can select the target MO file using the following code:

unload_textdomain('default');
load_textdomain('default', "languages/{$language_code}.mo");

Replace $language_code with the appropriate language code for the language you want to use. Once you have loaded the target MO file, you can translate text using the __() function, for example:

__("Hello World")

This function will return the translated text, if it is available in the loaded MO file.
