Localization

1 like148 views

Localizing a CakePHP application involves wrapping translatable text in __() functions, generating PO files containing translations using a console shell, and manually creating PO files for each language. The PO files contain message IDs and localized strings, and get placed in directories corresponding to language codes. Configuring the application's language based on region ensures the proper translations display.

Localizing a CakePHP Application
Presented By

What is Localization ?
It is the process of making your applications or
websites local to where it is being viewed. For
example, you can make a website more local to a
particular place by converting its text to the
predominate language of that location and by
displaying the local time

Wrapping Translatable Text in __()
Functions
Supposing our menu looked like the following:
<ul>
<li>Send</li>
<li>Reply</li>
</ul>
We would wrap each text string inside the __() function
like as follows:
<ul>
<li><?php echo __('Send') ?></li>
<li><?php echo __('Reply') ?></li>
</ul>

● The __() function identifies these strings as
translatable text that will differ by language locale and
uses the text within the __() function as the message
ID. If we define the translations for a certain language,
those translations will appear in place of these
functions. If we do not define the translations for that
language, the text within the __() function will display
instead by default.

Creating the Localized PO Files
● The next step is to create the PO files which will contain
the translations for each language to be dynamically
inserted in each of the __() functions. CakePHP has two
ways you can do this: automatically using the console
shell; or manually.
Using the I18N Shell
CakePHP has some console shell programs that you can
run on the command line, including one to generate the PO
file to use as the original language source file for
translations. In our case it will be a file with all the English
text strings.

Creating the Localized PO Files
● To run the i18n shell command, type the following on the Linux
command line in your CakePHP application directory:
./Console/cake i18n extract
Then follow the onscreen menu.
The shell command will examine all of your application files
for instances of the __() function and generate a PO file for the
original source language that you can use to create the PO files
for each of the translations you are going to use.

Creating the PO Files Manually
● If you want to do this manually—for example you
don’t have many translatable text strings like in our
example—you can create the PO files by hand in a text
editor.
● First we will create the original source language
English version here:
● /app/Locale/eng/LC_MESSAGES/default.po
● The default.po file will have this format:
● msgid "ID"
● msgstr "STRING"

Creating the PO Files Manually
● Where msgid is the ID within the __() function; msgstr
is the localized translation that should appear as
output.
● Our full English source PO file will look like this:
msgid "Send"
msgstr "Send"
msgid "Reply"
msgstr "Reply"

Creating the PO Files Manually
● To create the Japanese localized version, we copy the
English PO file to the Japanese directory, and then
replace the English strings in the msgstr field with the
Japanese translations. (If you have a large application
being localized into dozens of languages, it is at this
point that you send the PO files to a language service
provider to translate the localized strings.)
● Our localized PO file with Japanese translations will
go here:
/app/Locale/jpn/LC_MESSAGES/default.po

Creating the PO Files Manually
● Our final localized Japanese PO file will look like this.
msgid "Send"
msgstr " 送信 "
msgid "Reply"
msgstr " 返信 "
● That’s it. The translations for English and Japanese will
display appropriately for the proper locale. If you want to
add translations for other languages, you do the same
process and put the new PO file in the directory that
corresponds with that language code.

● In your app Controller, inside before filter you need to
configure the language based on the region, It will be
as follows , Here am considering the japan as a
language . So based on the
● Configure::write('Config.language', 'jpn');

single pass compiler and its architecturenoor ul ain

This document discusses single pass compilers. A single pass compiler scans the source code once, immediately translating each part into machine code without intermediate code generation or optimization. The main stages are lexical analysis, syntactical analysis, and code generation. Single pass compilers are more efficient and use less memory than multi-pass compilers but cannot optimize code or support complex languages.

Php Vs PhytonFrancis Guison

Both Python and PHP are interpreted scripting languages popular for web applications due to facilitating rapid prototyping. They are both open source and can run on almost all platforms without recompilation, making them extremely portable. PHP is more commonly used for web development as it can be directly implemented in HTML files and has more resources. However, Python requires understanding additional technologies like CGI and WSGI to use for web applications.

This document provides an overview and steps for a Perl/CGI tutorial. The tutorial will solve the problem of extracting data passed to a program through the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and constructing an HTML response. The tutorial assumes familiarity with UNIX but no prior Perl experience. It breaks the problem down into 7 steps: 1) Perl framework and mechanics, 2) Hello World, 3) Hello World from CGI, 4) Hello World in HTML, 5) Echo environment variables, 6) Echo STDIN variables, 7) Perl library. Each step builds on the previous to introduce Perl concepts and features needed to accomplish the task of passing data between a web server and client.

Bottom-Line Web ServicesMohammed Makhlouf

Web services allow programs to access application functionality over a network using standard Internet technologies. As a programmer, web services can be thought of as functions that can be called remotely over the Internet. Common examples of web services include spell checking, translation, weather reports, and stock/currency quotes. Web services use technologies like SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, XML, and JSON to define interfaces and handle requests and responses in a standardized way.

The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdfAlyona Owens

Hi, I’m Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around. Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as I’ve transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs… We’ll talk about it shortly. But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is “Fifth Element”. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and I’m impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves: Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink). Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully). On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldn’t be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future. So, we as humans, when we don’t know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didn’t steal jobs—they transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.
