having problems formatting the code sections
the
languagesarray is defined in two places in the above code. This could cause problems as you need to ensure both arrays are the same.If you wish you can create a php file called
languages.phpin theconfigfolder and place the required languages in that. Then call this array from both/config/params.phpand/messages/create_i18n.phplike so:The
/config/languages.phpFile:<?php /* List of languages and their codes * * format: * 'Language Code' => 'Language Name', * e.g. * 'fr' => 'Français', * * please use alphabetical order of language code * Use the language name in the "user's" Language * e.g. * 'ja' => '日本の', */ return [ // 'da' => 'Danske', // 'de' => 'Deutsche', 'en-GB' => 'British English', 'en-US' => 'American English', 'es' => 'Español', 'fr' => 'Français', 'it' => 'Italiano', 'ja' => '日本の', // Japanese with the word "Japanese" in Kanji // 'nl' => 'Nederlandse', // 'no' => 'Norsk', // 'pl' => 'Polski', 'pt' => 'Português', // 'ru' => 'Русский', // 'sw' => 'Svensk', // 'zh' => '中国的', ];The
/config/params.phpFile<?php return [ 'adminEmail' => 'admin@example.com', 'senderEmail' => 'noreply@example.com', 'senderName' => 'Example.com mailer', 'languages' => require(__DIR__ . '/languages.php'), ];The
/messages/create_i18n.phpFile<?php return [ // string, required, root directory of all source files 'sourcePath' => __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..', // array, required, list of language codes that the extracted messages // should be translated to. For example, ['zh-CN', 'de']. 'languages' => require(__DIR__ .

'translator' => ['\Yii::t', 'Yii::t'], // boolean, whether to sort messages by keys when merging new messages // with the existing ones. Defaults to false, which means the new (untranslated) // messages will be separated from the old (translated) ones. 'sort' => false, // boolean, whether to remove messages that no longer appear in the source code. // Defaults to false, which means these messages will NOT be removed. 'removeUnused' => false, // boolean, whether to mark messages that no longer appear in the source code. // Defaults to true, which means each of these messages will be enclosed with a pair of '@@' marks.

It returns both the array key and the value. We only need the array key.
Also, after running
./yii message ./messages/create_i18n.phpyou will need to delete the Default Language folder (usuallyenoren-GB) from the/messages/directory. It is created by this command but is only required for the languages dropdown menu but not the translations,<?php return [ // string, required, root directory of all source files 'sourcePath' => __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..', // array, required, list of language codes that the extracted messages // should be translated to. For example, ['zh-CN', 'de']. // The languages array is in `/config/languages.php` // We need just the Array Keys for this file but, after running `./yii message ./messages/create_i18n.php` // Remove the Default Language folder (usually `en` or `en-GB`) from the `/messages/` directory 'languages' => array_keys(require(__DIR__ .
