README
A basic, generic PHP XLIFF serialization library.
Installation
The recommended way to install Eggs'n'Cereal is of course to use Composer:
{ "require": { "tableau-mkt/eggs-n-cereal": "@dev" } }
Note: There is no stable release, necessarily. So...
Usage
The basic idea of this library is that you provide a series of "translatable"
classes for your entities. These "translatable" classes implement the
EggsCereal\Interfaces\TranslatableInterface
interface.
A TranslatableInterface
instance is meant to wrap your entity with a unified
method to get and set data. You must do so by implementing:
TranslatableInterface::getData()
TranslatableInterface::setData()
In addition to getting and setting data, you must also provide a way to get a unique identifier for your translatable entity, as well as a label by implementing:
TranslatableInterface::getIdentifier()
TranslatableInterface::getLabel()
The identifier and label are used to validate an XLIFF file during the import / unserialization process.
Once you've implemented the interface, you can serialize and unserialize your translatable like so:
// Generated by composer. require_once('vendor/autoload.php'); // Instantiate your translatable here. $yourTranslatable = new YourTranslatable(/*...*/); // Instantiate the serializer: $xliffSerializer = new EggsCereal\Serializer(); $targetLanguage = 'pt-br'; // Serialize your translatable like so: $xlf = $xliffSerializer->serialize($yourTranslatable, $targetLanguage); // Unserialize an xliff file like so: $translatedFile = file_get_contents('/path/to/translated-pt-br.xlf'); $xliffSerializer->unserialize($yourTranslatable, $targetLanguage, $translatedFile);
Sample implementation
Suppose you want to translate data stored in a flat, single-level PHP array. You
might write an ArrayTranslatable
class like so:
use EggsCereal\Interfaces\TranslatableInterface; class ArrayTranslatable implements TranslatableInterface { public $data = array(); public function __construct(array $data) { $this->data = $data; } /** * {@inheritdoc} */ public function getData() { $response = array(); // Iterate through each item in the array. foreach ($data as $key => $value) { // For each item, set a #label and #text value. $response[$key] = array( '#label' => $key, '#text' => $value, ); } return $response; } /** * {@inheritdoc} */ public function setData(array $data, $targetLanguage) { foreach ($data as $key => $value) { $this->data[$key] = $value['#text'], } } // Note, you'll also need implementations for getIdentifier() and getLabel(). }
With this ArrayTranslatable
implementation, usage is straightforward.
$xliffSerializer = new EggsCereal\Serializer(); $targetLang = 'fr-fr'; $arrayTranslatable = new ArrayTranslatable(array( 'foo' => 'Translatable foo value', 'bar' => 'Translatable bar value', )); // Generate an XLIFF file from your translatable. $xlf = $xliffSerializer->serialize($arrayTranslatable, $targetLang); // Import a translated XLIFF file. $translatedFile = file_get_contents('/path/to/translated-array-fr-fr.xlf'); $xliffSerializer->unserialize($translatable, $targetLang, $translatedFile); // Now, your array will be translated and might be available like so: print_r($arrayTranslatable->data); array( 'foo' => 'Valeur de foo traduisible', 'bar' => 'Valeur de bar traduisible', );
Forewarning
This library is a work in progress and draws heavily from work by Cloudwords on their Cloudwords for Multilingual Drupal module.
Use at your own risk, for now.
