CMessageSource is the base class for message translation repository classes.

A message source is an application component that provides message internationalization (i18n). It stores messages translated in different languages and provides these translated versions when requested.

A concrete class must implement loadMessages or override translateMessage.

Property Details

language property
public string getLanguage()

the language that the source messages are written in. Defaults to application language.

Method Details

getLanguage() method
public string getLanguage()
{return} string the language that the source messages are written in. Defaults to application language.
Source Code: framework/i18n/CMessageSource.php#42 (show)
public function getLanguage()
{
    return $this->_language===null ? Yii::app()->sourceLanguage : $this->_language;
}

loadMessages() method
abstract protected array loadMessages(string $category, string $language)
$category string the message category
$language string the target language
{return} array the loaded messages
Source Code: framework/i18n/CMessageSource.php#36 (show)
abstract protected function loadMessages($category,$language);

Loads the message translation for the specified language and category.

onMissingTranslation() method
public void onMissingTranslation(CMissingTranslationEvent $event)
$event CMissingTranslationEvent the event parameter
Source Code: framework/i18n/CMessageSource.php#115 (show)
public function onMissingTranslation($event)
{
    $this->raiseEvent('onMissingTranslation',$event);
}

Raised when a message cannot be translated. Handlers may log this message or do some default handling. The CMissingTranslationEvent::message property will be returned by translateMessage.

setLanguage() method
public void setLanguage(string $language)
$language string the language that the source messages are written in.
Source Code: framework/i18n/CMessageSource.php#50 (show)
public function setLanguage($language)
{
    $this->_language=CLocale::getCanonicalID($language);
}

translate() method
public string translate(string $category, string $message, string $language=NULL)
$category string the message category
$message string the message to be translated
$language string the target language. If null (default), the application language will be used. This parameter has been available since version 1.0.3.
{return} string the translated message (or the original message if translation is not needed)
Source Code: framework/i18n/CMessageSource.php#72 (show)
public function translate($category,$message,$language=null)
{
    if($language===null)
        $language=Yii::app()->getLanguage();
    if($language!==$this->getLanguage())
        return $this->translateMessage($category,$message,$language);
    else
        return $message;
}

Translates a message to the specified language.

Note, if the specified language is the same as the source message language, messages will NOT be translated.

If the message is not found in the translations, an onMissingTranslation event will be raised. Handlers can mark this message or do some default handling. The CMissingTranslationEvent::message property of the event parameter will be returned.

translateMessage() method
protected string translateMessage(string $category, string $message, string $language)
$category string the category that the message belongs to
$message string the message to be translated
$language string the target language
{return} string the translated message
Source Code: framework/i18n/CMessageSource.php#91 (show)
protected function translateMessage($category,$message,$language)
{
    $key=$language.'.'.$category;
    if(!isset($this->_messages[$key]))
        $this->_messages[$key]=$this->loadMessages($category,$language);
    if(isset($this->_messages[$key][$message]) && $this->_messages[$key][$message]!=='')
        return $this->_messages[$key][$message];
    else if($this->hasEventHandler('onMissingTranslation'))
    {
        $event=new CMissingTranslationEvent($this,$category,$message,$language);
        $this->onMissingTranslation($event);
        return $event->message;
    }
    else
        return $message;
}

Translates the specified message. If the message is not found, an onMissingTranslation event will be raised.
