1. Install iconv and gettext module and make configure ON Server
Download libiconv-1.9.1.tar.gz, gettext-0.12.1.tar.gz, apache_1.3.22.tar.gz, php-4.2.tar.gz
[libiconv] ./ Configure --prefix = / usr / local --enable-extra-encodingsmakemake install [gettext] ./ Configure --prefix = / usr / localmakemake install
[Apache] ./ Configure --prefix = / usr / local / apache --enable-module = somakemake install / usr / local / apache / bin / apachectl stop [php] ./ Configure --with-oci8 = / home / Oracle / orahome1 --with-apxs = / usr / local / apache / bin / apxs --enable-sigchild --with-mysql = / usr / local / mysql --with-iconv = / usr / local --with- GetText = / usr / local --enable-track-vars --enable-mbstring = allmakemake install]
/ usr / local / apache / bin / apachectl start
2. GetText IMPLEMENT STEP
1) WRITE PHP File Using GetText Function
For example:
$ lGuage = 'zh_cn';
Putenv ("lang =". $ tanguage);
Putenv ("Language =". $ tanguage);
$ newlocale = setlocale (lc_all, $ tanguage);
Echo "Current Locale:" $ newlocale. "
";
// set the text domain as 'Messages'
$ domain = 'messages';
BindtextDomain ($ domain, "./locale);
TextDomain ($ domain);
Echo gettext ("Hello Everyone");
Print (_ ("Hello World"));
?>
2) Setting Up The GetText Locale DIRECTORY
/ locale
/ EN
/ LC_MESSAGES
Messages.po
Messages.mo
/ zh_cn
/ LC_MESSAGES
Messages.po
Messages.mo
3) Extracts translatable strings and generate * .po files to translate
$ XGettext -n * .php
Message.po:
# Some Descriptive Title.
# CopyRight (C) Year The Package's Copyright Holder
# This file is distributed under the single license as the package packag # first author
#
#, fuzzy
"Msgid" "
"Msgstr" "
"Project-id-version: package version / n"
"Report-msgid-bugs-to: / n"
Pot-Creation-Date: 2004-01-16 03: 28 0000 / N "
"Po-revision-date: Year-Mo-da HO: MI ZONE / N"
"Last-Translator: full name
"Language-Team: Language
"MIME-VERSION: 1.0 / N"
"Content-Type: Text / Plain; Charset = Charset / N"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit / N"
#: getText.php: 23
Msgid "Hello Everyone"
"Msgstr" "
#: getText.php: 24
Msgid "Hello World"
"Msgstr" "
4) Fill Translation of Msgid Into Msgstr and Convert * .po to * .mo
$ msgfmt messages.po
$ CP messages.mo locale / zh_cn / lc_messages /
5) Maintain Translation Message File-Msgmerge
For example:
LS
EXAMPLE.PHP
$ XGettext -n * .php
$ ls
Example.php messages.po
// ...
// Translates the messages.po file now
// ...
$ msgfmt messages.po
$ ls
Example.php messages.po messages.mo
// ...
// changes the example.php file
// ...
$ mv messages.po ild.po
$ XGettext -n * .php
$ ls
Example.php messages.po messages.mo ild.po
$ msgmerge old.po messages.po --output-file = new.po
$ ls
Example.php messages.po message.mo new.po old.po
// ...
// translates the new.po file
// ...
$ msgfmt new.po
