Hi Mariano I have done some reading on gettext since your post and wondered if creating the pot files is possible using 'xgettext' command? since the strings that need translating in the cake views are not wrapped using PHP's gettext() function.
I found this useful for anyone else that is researching this topic: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2002/06/13/php.html?page=1 Thanks, Richard On Feb 4, 9:31 pm, "Mariano Iglesias" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > CakePHP 1.2 uses gettext for i18n, which places the contents on text files, > as you can read here: > > http://ar.php.net/gettext > > So if you need your text elements to be on a database (thus allowing your > application to easily modify them) you'll need to implement i18n DB support > by yourself, or better yet integrate an existing i18n DB based package on > Cake. > > Since I needed i18n DB support on my app, which is currently running on > CakePHP 1.1.12 I'm using PEAR::Translation2 available at: > > http://pear.php.net/package/Translation2 > > There may be better i18n packages (I've used others in the past) but I'm > always inclined to use PEAR packages. > > Simply installing it as a PEAR library on your vendors dir, and then > building a small component (so your controllers don't know about the > internals of Translation2, making it easier to change the library in the > future) to fetch the text elements will do the trick. > > -MI > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Remember, smart coders answer ten questions for every question they ask. > So be smart, be cool, and share your knowledge. > > BAKE ON! > > -----Mensaje original----- > De: cake-php@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre > de Richard > Enviado el: Domingo, 04 de Febrero de 2007 07:42 a.m. > Para: Cake PHP > Asunto: i18n 1.2 - database tables > > I would like to create a multi-lingual website with editable content > through a CMS.
