Re: Cakephp multilingual

Yannis,

Here are the crucial fragments. As you can see, the use of three
letter and two letter language codes is confusing, more so because
catalan doesn't seem to have a xx_xx code.

I hope you can understand the following. I've included my version of
p28n.php because I think I might have made some changes to it.

In locale, the folder names for each language use th three letter
code, e.g. spa & cat

In config/routes.php:

//route to switch locale
Router::connect('/lang/*', array('controller' => 'p28n', 'action' =>
'change'));

//forgiving routes that allow users to change the lang of any page
Router::connect('/eng?/*', array(
    'controller' => "p28n",
    'action' => "shuntRequest",
    'lang' => 'en-gb'
));

Router::connect('/ca?/*', array(
    'controller' => "p28n",
    'action' => "shuntRequest",
    'lang' => 'cat'
));

Router::connect('/es?/*', array(
    'controller' => "p28n",
    'action' => "shuntRequest",
    'lang' => 'es_es'
));

In app_controller.php:

var $components = array('P28n');


In views/layouts/default.ctp:

<?php
$currLang = Configure::read('Config.language');
if ($currLang<>"ca" && $currLang<>"spa")
{
  $currLang = "ca";
  Configure::write('Config.language',$currLang);
}
?>

<li><?php echo ($currLang<>"ca") ? '<a href="'.router::url("/").'lang/
ca">Catal&agrave;</a>' : 'Catal&agrave;' ; ?></li>
<li><?php echo ($currLang<>"spa") ? '<a href="'.router::url("/").'lang/
spa">Castellano</a>' : 'Castellano' ; ?></li>


controllers/components/p28n.php:

<?php
class P28nComponent extends Object
{
    var $components = array('Session', 'Cookie');

    function startup()
    {
        if (!$this->Session->check('Config.language'))
        {
            $this->change(($this->Cookie->read('lang') ? $this->Cookie-
>read('lang') : 'cat'));
        }
    }

    function change($lang = null)
    {
        if (!empty($lang))
        {
            $this->Session->write('Config.language', $lang);
            $this->Cookie->write('lang', $lang, null, '+350 day');
        }
    }
}
?>
