Texts shown to a user are localized using the Translator which is a simple key-value translation class using php files for a translation map. These files can be found in resources/localization and contributions are highly appreciated.

By default the Translator is using the English translations. You can change to a predefined translation by calling GetOpt::setLang($language) where $language is a two-letter iso code of the language.

<?php
\GetOpt\GetOpt::setLang('de');

Custom language files

You can also use custom language files by passing a path to your language file. The script must return an array in the same format as the bundled language files.

<?php
\GetOpt\GetOpt::setLang(__DIR__ . '/path/to/cn.php');

Translations missing in a language file are translated with the English translation table.

Errors messages

The messages of exceptions thrown because of user input are also translated using this translator.
