Method Detail
__construct() ¶ public
__construct(string $name, string $locale, string $extension = 'po')
Creates a translation file loader. The file to be loaded corresponds to the following rules:
- The locale is a folder under the
resources/locales/
directory, a fallback will be used if the folder is not found. - The $name corresponds to the file name to load
- If there is a loaded plugin with the underscored version of $name, the translation file will be loaded from such plugin.
Examples:
Load and parse resources/locales/fr/validation.po
$loader = new MessagesFileLoader('validation', 'fr_FR', 'po');
$package = $loader();
Load and parse resources/locales/fr_FR/validation.mo
$loader = new MessagesFileLoader('validation', 'fr_FR', 'mo');
$package = $loader();
Load the plugins/MyPlugin/resources/locales/fr/my_plugin.po file:
$loader = new MessagesFileLoader('my_plugin', 'fr_FR', 'mo');
$package = $loader();
Vendor prefixed plugins are expected to use `my_prefix_my_plugin` syntax.
