Translation::ezcTranslationTsBackend

Class ezcTranslationTsBackend

Translation backend that reads Qt's Linguist TS files.

This class is the backend that can read Qt's Linguist files as source for a translation. The format is an XML file, which contains contexts and all the translatable strings.

Example:

<?php
$a = new ezcTranslationTsBackend(
'tests/translations',
array ( 'format' => '[LOCALE].xml' )
);
$b = new ezcTranslationManager( $a );
?>

The reader capabilities of this class (the implementation of ezcTranslationContextRead) can be used it two different ways, where the second one is the more elegant approach.

Reader Example 1:

<?php
$backend = new ezcTranslationTsBackend( "files/translations" );
$backend->options->format = '[LOCALE].xml';
$backend->initReader( 'nb-no' );
$backend->next();
$contexts = array();
while ( $backend->valid() )
{
$contextName = $backend->key();
$contextData = $backend->current();
// do something with the data
$backend->next();
}
?>

Reader Example 2:

<?php
$backend = new ezcTranslationTsBackend( "{$currentDir}/files/translations" );
$backend->options->format = '[LOCALE].xml';
$backend->initReader( 'nb-no' );
$contexts = array();
foreach ( $backend as $contextName => $contextData )
{
// do something with the data
}
?>

For a more extensive example see ezcTranslationManager.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$locale`	string

current

array current( )

Returns the current context's data.

This method returns the latest read context, that the next() method put into the $currentContext property. See ezcTranslationTsBackend::$currentContext for the format of this array. This method is used for iteration as part of the Iterator interface.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationReaderNotInitializedException`	when the reader is not initialized with initReader().

currentContext

array currentContext( )

Returns the current context

This method returns the latest read context, that the haveMore() method put into the $currentContext property. See ezcTranslationTsBackend::$currentContext for the format of this array. This method is used for iteration as part of the Iterator interface.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationReaderNotInitializedException`	when the reader is not initialized with initReader().

deinitReader

void deinitReader( )

Deinitializes the reader

This method should be called after the haveMore() method returns false to cleanup resources.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationException`	when the reader is not initialized with initReader().

Implementation of:

Method	Description
`ezcTranslationContextRead::deinitReader()`	Deinitializes the reader.

deinitWriter

void deinitWriter( )

Deinitializes the writer

Implementation of:

Method	Description
`ezcTranslationContextWrite::deinitWriter()`	Deinitializes the writer

getContext

array(ezcTranslationData) getContext( string $locale , string $context )

Returns a array containing a translation map for the locale $locale and the context $context.

This method returns an array containing the translation map for the specified $locale and $context. It uses the location and format options to locate the file, unless caching is enabled.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$locale`	string
`$context`	string

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationContextNotAvailableException`	if a context is not available
`ezcTranslationMissingTranslationFileException`	if the translation file does not exist.
`ezcTranslationNotConfiguredException`	if the option format is not set before this method is called.

Implementation of:

Method	Description
`ezcTranslationBackend::getContext()`	Returns an array with translation data for the context $context and the locale $locale.

getContextNames

array(string) getContextNames( string $locale )

Returns a list with all context names for the locale $locale.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$locale`	string

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationNotConfiguredException`	if the option format is not set before this method is called.
`ezcTranslationMissingTranslationFileException`	if the translation file does not exist.

getOptions

ezcTranslationTsBackendOptions getOptions( )

Returns the current options.

Returns the options currently set for this backend.

initReader

void initReader( string $locale )

Initializes the reader to read from locale $locale.

Opens the translation file.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$locale`	string

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationNotConfiguredException`	if the option format is not set before this method is called.

Implementation of:

Method	Description
`ezcTranslationContextRead::initReader()`	Initializes the reader to read from the locale $locale.

initWriter

void initWriter( string $locale )

Initializes the writer to write to locale $locale.

Opens the translation file.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$locale`	string

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationNotConfiguredException`	if the option format is not set before this method is called.

Implementation of:

Method	Description
`ezcTranslationContextWrite::initWriter()`	Initializes the writer to write from the locale $locale.

key

string key( )

Returns the current context's name.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationReaderNotInitializedException`	when the reader is not initialized with initReader().

void next( )

Advanced to the next context.

This method parses a little bit more of the XML file to be able to return the next context. If no more contexts are available it sets the $currentContext member variable to null, so that the valid() method can pick this up. If there are more contexts available it reads the context from the file and stores it into the $currentContext member variable. This method is used for iteration as part of the Iterator interface.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationReaderNotInitializedException`	when the reader is not initialized with initReader().

openTranslationFile

object The openTranslationFile( string $locale , [string $returnClass = 'SimpleXMLElement'] )

Creates an SimpleXML parser object for the locale $locale.

You can set the class of the returned object through the $returnClass parameter. That class should extend the SimpleXMLElement class.

This function checks if the location setting is made, if the file with the filename as returned by buildTranslationFileName() exists and creates a SimpleXML parser object for this file. If either the setting is not made, or the file doesn't exists it throws an exception.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$locale`	string
`$returnClass`	string	The class of the returned XML Parser Object.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationMissingTranslationFileException`	if the translation could not be opened.

openTranslationFileForWriting

object The openTranslationFileForWriting( string $locale )

Creates a DOM parser object for the locale $locale.

This function checks if the location setting is made, if the file with the filename as returned by buildTranslationFileName() exists and creates a DOM parser object for this file. If the setting is not made, it throws an exception. IF the file does not exist, a new DomDocument is created.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$locale`	string

rewind

void rewind( )

Empty function to satisfy the Iterator interface.

The iterator interface expects this method to rewind to the start of the array. As we do not support rewinding actually, the only thing that the rewind() implementation does is reading the first element from the translation file. There are no side effects either if you just use the foreach or while methods. (See class introduction for an example). This method is used for iteration as part of the Iterator interface.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationReaderNotInitializedException`	when the reader is not initialized with initReader().

setOptions

void setOptions( ezcTranslationTsBackendOptions $options )

Set new options.

This method allows you to change the options of the translation backend.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$options`	ezcTranslationTsBackendOptions	The options to set.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcBaseSettingNotFoundException`	If you tried to set a non-existent option value.
`ezcBaseSettingValueException`	If the value is not valid for the desired option.
`ezcBaseValueException`	If you submit neither an array nor an instance of ezcTranslationTsBackendOptions.

Implementation of:

Method	Description
`ezcTranslationBackend::setOptions()`	Sets the backend specific $configurationData.

storeContext

void storeContext( string $context , $data )

Stores a context.

This method stores the context that it received to the backend specified storage place.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`$context`	string	The context's name
`$data`	array(ezcTranslationData)	The context's translation map

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationWriterNotInitializedException`	when the writer is not initialized with initWriter().

Implementation of:

Method	Description
`ezcTranslationContextWrite::storeContext()`	Stores the context named $context with the data $data.

valid

bool valid( )

Returns whether there is a new context available.

This method checks whether a valid context was read. It checks the $currentContext member variable for the status. This method is used for iteration as part of the Iterator interface.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
`ezcTranslationReaderNotInitializedException`	when the reader is not initialized with initReader().
