Class for implementing language translation in your application

Class Translate has method __construct

__construct($config = false, $moduleName = false, $collection = [], $useDirectly = false, $isManager = false)

If want create multi-language module:

first, you need to create new file with name like you module param and code language. For example: we have new module Foo. In folder we will create new file translations /messages/Foo_EN.php

You need to add an array with a key and translation, which will be used in your module later on.

$messages = [
   'key'=>'translation',
   'key-in-your-translation'=>'My simple Translation',
]

Then, in your new module

namespace Modules;
use Spotsystem\Translate;

and need initialize you new file in your module in __construct method

$this->view->translate = new Translate(false, 'Foo', []);

Example Initialization

namespace Modules;
use Spotsystem\Translate;

class Foo extends \Controllers_Base
{
   ...
   __construct($parent = false)
   {
      if ($parent) 
      $this->view->translate = new Translate(
         false, 
         'Foo', 
         (isset($this->view->translate)) ? $this->view->translate : [], 
         ($this->di->dispatcher->getControllerName() === 'admin') ? true : false
      );
   }
   ...
}

After that, we can use in our methods translation for strings by key

public function indexAction()
{
   $this->view->setTitle($this->view->translate->_('key-in-your-translation'));
}

and we can see in view

<title>My Simple Translation</title>

If the system or module supports more languages than you have translations for (in case the user activates a language other than English), the system will automatically set English as the language.
