After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

Setting Locale and Domain

Using Multiple Domains

If you want to organize translations into different domains (e.g., 'messages', 'errors', 'emails'):

  1. Update app/Config/Gettext.php:

  2. Create corresponding .po and .mo files:

  3. Switch domains as needed:

Translation Workflow

1. Create Translation Files

Create a .po (Portable Object) file for each locale in the appropriate directory:

2. Edit .po Files

You can edit .po files manually or use tools like Poedit, which provides a user-friendly interface.

Example .po file structure:

3. Compile to .mo Files

After editing .po files, compile them to binary .mo (Machine Object) files for PHP to use.

Using msgfmt (Command Line)

Compile All Locales at Once

4. Restart Your Application

After compiling new translations, you may need to restart your web server or PHP-FPM to clear the gettext cache.

Troubleshooting

Translations Not Working

  1. Check if gettext extension is installed:

  2. Verify locale is installed on your system:

    If not found, install the locale package for your OS.

  3. Check locale format: Ensure your locale strings in app/Config/Gettext.php match your system's locale format. Common formats:

    • Linux: pl_PL.utf8 or pl_PL.UTF-8
    • macOS: pl_PL.UTF-8

  4. Verify .mo files exist and are up-to-date: Ensure you've compiled .po files to .mo files after making changes.

  5. Clear gettext cache: Restart your web server or PHP-FPM after updating translations.
