  • simplecomplex/inspect: CLI features do NOT work without Inspect. And great for logging; better variable dumps and traces.

README

Localization, primarily of texts

Texts are referred by (free format) IDs.
.ini-file based.

Superior to gettext (.po) in these ways:

  • texts (translations) don't get orphaned when you change the source text
  • editors/translators work in standard plaintext editors
  • texts can be organised in groups and sub groups.
  • no need for complex parsers and im-/export features, databases etc.
  • miniscule resource footprint

.ini-file example

[some-group]
meeting = reunión
some-sub-group[start] = ¡Hola!
some-sub-group[continue] = ¿Cómo estás?
some-sub-group[end] = Hasta luego...

Dependency injection container ID: locale

Recommendation: access (and thus instantiate) locale via DI container ID 'locale'.
See SimpleComplex Utils Dependency.

Installation

Copy the 'global' config .ini file (see SimpleComplex Config)
[locale package dir]/config-ini/locale.global.ini
and place it in config's 'base' or 'override' path.

Follow the instructions within in that file,
and modify it to suit the current system's structure and features.
