[Phpwebsite-developers] Translate and templates

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Suggested procedure question.

Say you are making a template for something. Inside the template you may
want to include some text. The problem is that you also want that text
translated. How should it be handled?

o The module itself has a text area for you to add data to a template, it
is stored in the database, translated, then sent to the template tag.

o INCLUDE a php file that allows extra template tags with your module.
This file allows the admin to add extra data.
For example:
<?php
// The admin knows the template array is named 'myTemp'

$myTemp["text1"] = $_SESSION["translate"]->it("Welcome to my website");
$myTemp["text2"] = $_SESSION["translate"]->it("Blah Blah");

?>

Then in the template file
{TEXT1}
{REG_TAG}
{TEXT2}


o Create a tag for the template function that translates text.

Should we plan for this?
