4. Usage

Please follow below steps to set up and use this extension.

a. In model

• Add property translation to your model class.

  public $translations;
  

• Add rule for translation property.

  /**
    * {@inheritdoc}
    */
    public function rules()
    {
       return [
          ...
          [['translations'],'safe'],
       ];
    }
  

• Modify afterSave() and add this line:

  Translate::saveTranslation($this->translations,$this->id_model,Model::class);
  

  This will save translation for current model.

b. In form

• Add this widget for attributes that you want to provide translation to your create or update form.

  <?=$form->field($model,'attribute')->widget(MultiLangFieldsWidget::class)->label(false)?>
  

• Available config:

  • attributeLabel: Optional. In case you want to use another name for model attribute, default is model's attribute name.
  • attributeToSave: Optional. In case you want to save with a different attribute, default is model's attribute. Useful when working with custom model.
  • attributeToLoad: Optional. In case you want to load saved translation value on edit with a different attribute, default is model's attribute. Useful when working with custom model.
  • inputType: Optional. Default is text input, available options:
    • Text Input: MultiLangFieldsWidget::TYPE_TEXT_INPUT
    • Textarea: MultiLangFieldsWidget::TYPE_TEXTAREA

  <?=$form->field($model,'attribute')->widget(MultiLangFieldsWidget::class,[
                  'inputType' => MultiLangFieldsWidget::TYPE_TEXTAREA,
                  'attributeLabel' => 'Another name',
              ])->label(false)?>
