PHP Tutorials: Language Chooser

[nhamza1988]

Hi ,

First of all great tutos .

I wanted to know how can i save the language selected on a website if there are many pages .

Thanks 

[pocak87]

Hi, Everyone!

It's also a good tut, but I'm thinking about, when somebudy select a language, it also set a cookie. First it's checked is cookie isset, else get the basic language, or the selected language. In this way, if the website has more pages, they get always the selected language, and if they come back, it's selected the last language. let's see:

if(isset($_POST['lang'])){

//select language

setcookie('lang')=$_POST['lang­'];

}

if(isset($_COOKIE['lang'])){

//select language

}

how can i do it where if the player wants to have it translated to portugal then they choose that and it translates every single word to portugal not just 1 word or line.

[alvizz]

Awesome, this really helped me. Do you have any tutorial on how to use language chooser if you have more than one page? I want to use this for a site, not just one text page.

[pestinha26]

hello from portugal =)

i'm trying to build a multi language script where i have 2 links; the "index.php" and the "2page.php" but i'm cannot make it work. when i click on one of the 2 links, the language selection goes back to the original

help?

thanks =)

[Acceptable76]

What about a TRANSLATOR. I've been trying to work on one such as (If $variable == "hello" echo "hallo"; etc) but you can't add other words BEFORE that. So it's just a single-worded translator. And that sucks. How can I do this?

[GrigorHovhannisyan]

SELECTED doesn't work in HTML, because the proper way is selected="selected".

[mhamlet1]

@GrigorHovhannisyan In HTML - SELECTED, in XHTML - selected="selected".

[sepudincrew]

this tutorial is usefull..but can i know how to translate to others language for real?can someone help me?

thanks in advance

[OnsheilaGo1]

please help me on how to create language chooser in multiple web pages.

[modernclics]

I love this videos, just one suggestion: for avoiding the switch/case at the end you can simply use something like:

include('lang/'.$lang.'.php');

Cheers.

[CrazyMongols]

This can be done much faster, you can use an if statement :P.

[Acceptable76]

LMAO! "Back to our english pa... err... index * "  XD

[CptRor]

Why not just copy the HTML document and translate it to another languages and just make a link saying "English" or any other language

[phpacademy]

Because this doesn't work for dynamic content very well. This is much more organised and in the long run, easier to translate pages as the language files are seperate

[Ghotherkill]

Instead of using a separate file for every language, you could set up an advanced array system and just call out that variable. Very simple and more effective.

[phpacademy]

I'd class this as a beginner tutorial. Many many systems use this type of language selection which is why I chose to make it. By saying 'advanced array' you're already going into...advanced arrays!

[Ghotherkill]

Just saying, there are much easier ways than this. Plus, less files to use, and easier management (For some)

[superawesomesuperkid]

Use google translate and translate your code for each page your done.

[phpacademy]

This won't work very well for dynamic content. You get much more control this way.

[vb6help]

i was about to do something like this in javascript then i realized it was stupid and i see this video in subscription videos... i like the idea, i'm gonna play with cookies later, thanks.

[ORP4th]

Good tutorial Alex :D

[GodmasterJ]

Question; how do you display PHP files in Chrome? I try it but it just shows the code.

[GTACompleteWeb]

he uses XAMPP, which allows your computer to become a webserver, if you like.

[NMRA]

you need a test server. it's his first video.

[tekriavideos]
