Text Domains
Define Text Domain ?php load theme textdomain( domain, path ) ? http://codex.wordpress.org/Function Reference/load theme textdomain
Twenty-Twelve : Define Text Domain
Define Text Domain // Make theme available for translation // Translations can be filed in the /languages/ directory load theme textdomain( 'your-theme', TEMPLATEPATH . '/ languages' ); locale get locale(); locale file TEMPLATEPATH . "/languages/ locale.php"; if ( is readable( locale file) ) require once( locale file); http://codex.wordpress.org/Function Reference/load theme textdomain
Using the Text Domain ?php translated text ( 'text', 'domain' ); ? http://codex.wordpress.org/Function Reference/load theme textdomain
Message-Level Translation
Message-level Translation PHP return statement ('message') PHP echo statement e('message')
What is the difference? echo statement: PHP outputs whatever you tell it to the browser return statement: PHP returns a value from a function
Twenty-Twelve Echo Statement e('message')
Twenty-Twelve Return Statement ('message')
Simple Strings echo ' h2 ' . ( 'Blog Options' ) . ' /h2 '; echo ( 'Using this option you will make a fortune!' ); e( 'Using this option you will make a fortune!' ); http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n for WordPress Developers
Strings With Placeholders printf( ( 'Your zip code is %2 s, and your city is %1 s.' ), city, zipcode ); http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n for WordPress Developers
Strings With Plurals printf( n( 'We deleted %d spam message.', 'We deleted %d spam messages.', count ), count ); http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n for WordPress Developers
Disambiguation string x( 'Buffalo', 'an animal', 'plugin-domain' ); string x( 'Buffalo', 'a city in New York', 'plugindomain' ); string x( 'Buffalo', 'a verb meaning to confuse somebody', 'plugin-domain' ); /* translators: draft saved date format, see http:// php.net/date */ draft saved date format ( 'g:i:s a' ); http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n for WordPress Developers re-probably-doing-it-wrong/
Otto’s Unbreakable Laws of i18n Thou shalt not use PHP variables of any kind inside a translation function’s strings. Thou shalt always translate phrases and not words. Thou shalt disambiguate when needed. Thou shalt not put unnecessary HTML markup into the translated string. re-probably-doing-it-wrong/
Automate Adding Text Domains php add-textdomain.php -i domain phpfile phpfile . http://codex.wordpress.org/I18n for WordPress Developers
