Class yii\i18n\GettextMessageSource
| Inheritance | yii\i18n\GettextMessageSource » yii\i18n\MessageSource » yii\base\Component » yii\base\Object |
|---|---|
| Implements | yii\base\Configurable |
| Available since version | 2.0 |
| 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'.

Property Details
Method Details
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 |
|---|---|---|
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. |
|---|---|---|
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.
