Class yii\i18n\GettextMessageSource

Inheritanceyii\i18n\GettextMessageSource » yii\i18n\MessageSource » yii\base\Component » yii\base\BaseObject
Implementsyii\base\Configurable
Available since version2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/i18n/GettextMessageSource.php

GettextMessageSource represents a message source that is based on GNU Gettext.

Each GettextMessageSource instance represents the message translations for a single domain. And each message category represents a message context in Gettext. Translated messages are stored as either a MO or PO file, depending on the $useMoFile property value.

All translations are saved under the $basePath directory.

Translations in one language are kept as MO or PO files under an individual subdirectory whose name is the language ID. The file name is specified via $catalog property, which defaults to 'messages'.

Method Details

getMessageFilePath() protected method

Returns message file path for the specified language and category.

protected string getMessageFilePath ( $language )
$language string

The target language

return string

Path to message file

loadFallbackMessages() protected method (available since version 2.0.7)

The method is normally called by loadMessages() to load the fallback messages for the language.

Method tries to load the $category messages for the $fallbackLanguage and adds them to the $messages array.

protected array loadFallbackMessages ( $category, $fallbackLanguage, $messages, $originalMessageFile )
$category string

The message category

$fallbackLanguage string

The target fallback language

$messages array

The array of previously loaded translation messages. The keys are original messages, and the values are the translated messages.

$originalMessageFile string

The path to the file with messages. Used to log an error message in case when no translations were found.

return array

The loaded messages. The keys are original messages, and the values are the translated messages.

loadMessages() protected method

Loads the message translation for the specified $language and $category.

If translation for specific locale code such as en-US isn't found it tries more generic en. When both are present, the en-US messages will be merged over en. See loadFallbackMessages() for details. If the $language is less specific than $sourceLanguage, the method will try to load the messages for $sourceLanguage. For example: $sourceLanguage is en-GB, $language is en. The method will load the messages for en and merge them over en-GB.

$messageFile string

Path to message file

The message category

return array|null
