locale()

public string locale ( string $key, string $num default 1, array $replace default NULL )

Looks up class-specific locale strings based on a key.

Inherited from Solar_Base.

Parameters

  • (string) $key: The key to get a locale string for.
  • (string) $num: If 1, returns a singular string; otherwise, returns a plural string (if one exists).
  • (array) $replace: An array of replacement values for the string.

Returns

  • (string) The locale string, or the original $key if no string found.

Description

Looks up class-specific locale strings based on a key.

This is a convenient shortcut for calling that automatically uses the current class name.

You can also pass an array of replacement values. If the $replace array is sequential, this method will use it with vsprintf(); if the array is associative, this method will replace "{:key}" with the array value.

For example:

<?php
$page  = 2;
$pages = 10;

// given a locale string TEXT_PAGES => 'Page %d of %d'
$replace = array($page, $pages);
return $this->locale('Solar_Example', 'TEXT_PAGES',
    $pages, $replace);
// returns "Page 2 of 10"

// given a locale string TEXT_PAGES => 'Page {:page} of {:pages}'
$replace = array('page' => $page, 'pages' => $pages);
return $this->locale('Solar_Example', 'TEXT_PAGES',
    $pages, $replace);
// returns "Page 2 of 10"
?>
