Usage

To use the resources zend-i18n-resources exposes, retrieve them from the Zend\I18n\Translator\Resources class and pass them to Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator::addTranslationFilePattern():

use Zend\I18n\Translator\Resources;
use Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator;

$translator = new Translator();
$translator->addTranslationFilePattern(
    'phpArray',
    Resources::getBasePath(),
    Resources::getPatternForValidator()
);

echo $translator->translate('Invalid type given. String expected', 'default', 'es');

You can also use the getPatternForCaptcha() method to setup translation messages for zend-captcha:

$translator->addTranslationFilePattern(
    'phpArray',
    Resources::getBasePath(),
    Resources::getPatternForCaptcha()
);

Automating resource injection

If you are fetching Zend\I18n\Translator\Translator via zend-servicemanager, you may want to automate injecting the translation messages. This can be done using zend-servicemanager's delegator factories.

As an example, consider the following delegator factory:

use Interop\Container\ContainerInterface;
use Zend\I18n\Translator\Resources;
use Zend\ServiceManager\DelegatorFactoryInterface;
use Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorInterface;

class TranslatorDelegator implements DelegatorFactoryInterface
{
    public function __invoke(
        ContainerInterface $container,
        $name,
        callable $callback,
        array $options = null
    ) {
        $translator = $callback();

        $translator->addTranslationFilePattern(
            'phpArray',
            Resources::getBasePath(),
            Resources::getPatternForValidator()
        );
        $translator->addTranslationFilePattern(
            'phpArray',
            Resources::getBasePath(),
            Resources::getPatternForCaptcha()
        );

        return $translator;
    }

    public function createDelegatorWithName(
        ServiceLocatorInterface $container,
        $name,
        $requestedName,
        $callback
    ) {
        return $this($container, $requestedName, $callback);
    }
}

Forwards compatibility

The above definition will work with both zend-servicemanager v2 and v3 releases. If you are targeting only v3 and up, you can remove the createDelegatorWithName() implementation.

You would then register this in your configuration:

return [
    'service_manager' => [
        'delegators' => [
            'MvcTranslator' => [
                'TranslatorDelegator',
            ],
        ],
    ],
];
