Facebook has this unique and clever approach to localization of their site: translators (in their case users that help to translate the site voluntarily) can simply click on the not-yet-translated strings – which are marked with a green bottom border – in their natural context on the site. See http://www.facebook.com/translations/.
Now, if you ever had to deal with the translation of a website, you'll be well aware of how odd and funny some of these translations can be when using tools like poedit where the translator isn't fully aware of the spot the translated string will lated appear in on the website.
Example: Please translate "Home". In German, for instance, the start page of a website would be "Home" while the house you live in is "Heim". Now, you as the translator basically have to guess which context this term is likely to appear in on the website and translate accordingly. Chances are, you're new website on home furniture now translates as "Home-Einrichtung" which sounds ridiculous to any German.
So, my question boils down to:
Do you know any open source PHP projects that work on something like this? I'm basically looking for a framework that allows you to put your internationalized website in "translation mode" and make strings clickable and translatable e.g. through a Javascript modal.
I'm not so much looking for a full-fledged and ready-made solution, but would love to know about similar projects that I can contribute code to.
Thanks in advance!
If you want to roll your own with jquery & jquery browserLanguage, this might get you going.
Tag all translatable text's contain elements with class="i18n", and include jquery, jquery browserLanguage, and your i18n script.
1. the internationalization javascript
— this needs to accept translations via ajax from your server, like:
var i18n = {};
i18n.bank = new Array();
i18n.t = function ( text, tl=$.browserLanguage ) {
var r = false;
$.ajax({
url: "/i18n_t.php?type=request&from="+ escape(text) +"&tl="+ tl,
success: function(){ i18n.bank[text] = this; r = true; }
});
return r;
};
2. php i18n translation service
— now we need to serve up translations, and accept them
the database will look like a bunch of tables, one for each language.
// SCHEMA for each language:
CREATE TABLE `en`
(
`id` INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO INCREMENT NOT NULL,
`from` VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
`to` VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL
)
the php will need some connection and db manipulation.. for now this may do:
//Connect to the database
$connection = mysql_connect('host (usually localhost)', 'mysql_username' , 'mysql_password');
$selection = mysql_select_db('mysql_database', $connection);
function table_exists($tablename, $database = false) {
if(!$database) {
$res = mysql_query("SELECT DATABASE()");
$database = mysql_result($res, 0);
}
$res = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = '$database' AND table_name = '$tablename'
");
return mysql_result($res, 0) == 1;
}
the code is simply:
<?php
// .. database stuff from above goes here ..
$type=$_GET["type"];
$from=$_GET["from"];
$to=$_GET["to"];
$tl=$_GET["tl"];
if (! table_exists($tl)) {
...
}
if ($type == "request") { // might want to set $tl="en" when ! table_exists($tl)
$find = mysql_query("SELECT to FROM `'$tl'` WHERE from='$from'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($find);
echo $row['to'];
} elsif ($type == "suggest") {
$find = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM `'$tl'` WHERE from='$from'");
if ( !(mysql_result($res, 0)) == 0 ) {
$ins = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `'$tl'` (from, to) VALUES ('$from','$to')");
}
}
?>
3. page translation mechanics
— finally we can tie them together in your webpages with some further jquery:
i18n.suggest = function (from) { // post user translation to our php
$.ajax({
url: "/i18n_t.php?type=suggest&from='+from+'&to="+ escape( $('#i18n_s').contents() ) +"&tl="+ $.browserLanguage,
success: function(){ $('#i18n_t_div').html('<em>Thanks!</em>').delay(334).fadeOut().remove(); }
});
};
$(document).ready(function() {
i18n.t("submit");
i18n.t("Thanks!");
$('.i18n').click( function(event) { //add an onClick event for all i18n spans
$('#i18n_t_div').remove;
$(this).parent().append(
'<div id="i18n_t_div"><form class="i18n_t_form">
<input type="text" id="i18n_s" name="suggestion" value="+$(this).contents()+" />
<input type="button" value="'+ i18n.bank[ "submit" ] +'" onclick="i18n.suggest( '+$(this).contents()+' )" />
</form></div>'
);
}).each(function(){
var c = $(this).contents(); //now load initial translations for browser language for all the internationalized content on the page
if ( i18n.t(c) ){
$(this).html(i18n.bank[c]);
}
});
});
Mind you I don't have a server to test this on... and I don't actually code php. :D It will take some debugging but the scaffolding should be correct.

There are a lot of questions about select2 doubling values, and many of them don't have accepted answers.
On the surface everything looks fine but when I delete a token it's still sending it in params.
Checking the values of the input (which select2 is hiding)
Prior to initializing select2
$('#language_list').val() //=> "english spanish italian"
After init
$('#language_list').val() //=> "english spanish italian,english,spanish,italian"
// It's clearer what's going on like this.
// And I don't know if it's significant but tokenSeparators: [",", " "]
$("#user_language_list").select2("val") //=> ["english spanish italian", "english", "spanish", "italian"]
Lots of issues are coming up like when the form repopulates after an error I'll have
$('#language_list').val() //=> "english-spanish-italian english spanish italian,english,spanish,italian"
Hidden in my input which I have to address on the backend.
What worked was cleaning the value before sending your data to the callback
You'll probably recognize this as basically the code from the docs.
initSelection: function (e, callback) {
var tags = e.val().split(/, |,| /);
for (var i = 0; i < tags.length; i++) {
var tag = tags[i].trim();
tags[i] = {id: tag, text: tag};
}
callback(tags);
}
But you just need to clean the val
initSelection: function (e, callback) {
var tags = e.val().split(/, |,| /);
e.val("")
for (var i = 0; i < tags.length; i++) {
var tag = tags[i].trim();
tags[i] = {id: tag, text: tag};
}
callback(tags);
}
Here's the scenario:
I am using an ASP.NET MVC site with Angular JS and Boostrap UI. I have a dynamic ul list populated by data fed through a controller call to AngularJS, filtering on that list through an input search box. The list is also controlled through pagination (UI Bootstrap control) that I've setup to show 10 results per page for the list of 100 or so items. This list is filtered as the user types in the search box, however I would like the pagination to update as well so consider the following example:
The list has 10 pages of items (100 items), the user types some text in the input search box which filters the list down to 20 or so items, so the pagination should be updated from 10 pages to two pages.
I figure there must be a $watch setup somewhere, perhaps on the list items after it has been filtered and then update the pagination page count, however I'm pretty new to AngularJS so can someone please explain to me how this could be done?
Thanks very much. I have posted my code below:
<div data-ng-app="dealsPage">
<input type="text" data-ng-model="cityName" />
<div data-ng-controller="DestinationController">
<ul>
<li data-ng-repeat="deals in destinations | filter: cityName |
startFrom:currentPage*pageSize | limitTo:pageSize">{{deals.Location}}</li>
</ul>
<br />
<pagination rotate="true" num-pages="noOfPages" current-page="currentPage"
max-size="maxSize" class="pagination-small" boundary-links="true"></pagination>
</div>
var destApp = angular.module('dealsPage', ['ui.bootstrap', 'uiSlider']);
destApp.controller('DestinationController', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.destinations = {};
$scope.currentPage = 1;
$scope.pageSize = 10;
$http.get('/Deals/GetDeals').success(function (data) {
$scope.destinations = data;
$scope.noOfPages = data.length / 10;
$scope.maxSize = 5;
});
});
destApp.filter('startFrom', function () {
return function (input, start) {
start = +start; //parse to int
return input.slice(start);
};
});
Because your pagination is a combination of chained filters, Angular has no idea that when cityName changes, it should reset currentPage to 1. You'll need to handle that yourself with your own $watch.
You'll also want to adjust your startFrom filter to say (currentPage - 1) * pageSize, otherwise, you always start at page 2.
Once you get that going, you'll notice that your pagination is not accurate, because it's still based on destination.length, and not the filtered sub-set of destinations. For that, you're going to need to move your filtering logic from your view to your controller like so:
http://jsfiddle.net/jNYfd/
HTML
<div data-ng-app="dealsPage">
<input type="text" data-ng-model="cityName" />
<div data-ng-controller="DestinationController">
<ul>
<li data-ng-repeat="deals in filteredDestinations | startFrom:(currentPage - 1)*pageSize | limitTo:pageSize">{{deals.Location}}</li>
</ul>
<br />
<pagination rotate="true" num-pages="noOfPages" current-page="currentPage" max-size="maxSize" class="pagination-small" boundary-links="true"></pagination>
</div>
JavaScript
var destApp = angular.module('dealsPage', ['ui.bootstrap']);
destApp.controller('DestinationController', function ($scope, $http, $filter) {
$scope.destinations = [];
$scope.filteredDestinations = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i += 1) {
$scope.destinations.push({
Location: 'city ' + (i + 1)
});
}
$scope.pageSize = 10;
$scope.maxSize = 5;
$scope.$watch('cityName', function (newCityName) {
$scope.currentPage = 1;
$scope.filteredDestinations = $filter('filter')($scope.destinations, $scope.cityName);
$scope.noOfPages = $scope.filteredDestinations.length / 10;
});
});
destApp.filter('startFrom', function () {
return function (input, start) {
start = +start; //parse to int
return input.slice(start);
};
});
The version shared on jsfiddle is compatible with ui-bootstrap 0.5.0 but from 0.6.0 onwards there have been breaking changes.
Here is a version that uses the following libraries:

Angular UI Bootstrap Pagination
Hello I tried to hook this up with Firebase using Angular Fire and it only works after I type something in the search input. In the $scope.$watch method, I used Angular Fire's orderByPriorityFilter to convert the object to an array.
$scope.$watch('search', function(oldTerm, newTerm) {
$scope.page = 1;
// Use orderByPriorityFilter to convert Firebase Object into Array
$scope.filtered = filterFilter(orderByPriorityFilter($scope.contacts), $scope.search);
$scope.lastSearch.search = oldTerm;
$scope.contactsCount = $scope.filtered.length;
});
Initial load doesn't load any contacts. It's only after I start typing in the input search field.
I'm converting some forms within my Rails 3.2 app to use AngularJS so that I can do live calculations and such. In my rails app I use money-rails to handle the currency. This treats all currency fields as integers made of of cents.
This becomes a problem when I send all the information through JSON over to my AngularJS template. Now my form is all in cents when I want them in dollars and cents.
I've put the conversion in my AngularJS controller so when I get the data from the server I convert it from cents to dollars & cents and vice vesa just before updating. Here is the code:
# Edit Investor
window.InvestorEditCtrl = ($scope, $routeParams, $location, Investor, Common) ->
console.log 'InvestorEditCtrl'
# Setup variable for common services(factory)
$scope.common = Common
$scope.master = {} # Initialise our main object hash
investor_id = $routeParams.investor_id # Get the ID of the investor we are editing from the URL
# Get the investor information & assign it to the scope master object
console.log 'Get JSON'
$scope.investor = new Investor.show({investor_id: investor_id}, (resource) ->
# copy the response from server response (JSON format) to the scopes master
$scope.master = angular.copy(resource)
# Convert price_cents to dollars
$scope.investor.price_cents /= 100
)
# Update the investor passing the JSON back to the server.
$scope.update = (investor) ->
# Convert price_cents to cents
investor.price_cents *= 100
$scope.master = angular.copy(investor)
investor.$update({investor_id: investor_id}, (t) ->
$location.path('/investors/' + t.id)
)
Is there a better way to do this?
You could write either a filter or a directive that converts it to the form you want in your HTML. The filter would look something like this:
app.filter('centsToDollars', function() {
return function(input) {
var out = input / 100;
return out;
}
});
Then, in your html, wherever you want the cents displayed dollars and cents, call it like this:
<p>{{investor.price_cents | centsToDollars}}</p>
The filter would only impact the display of the data and wouldn't modify the underlying data from being cents.
If you needed to modify the display of an input field, the better route would probably be a directive. You could do something like what's referenced here
app.directive('myCentsToDollars', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ngModel) {
var toDollars = function(text) {
var text = (text || "0");
return (parseFloat(text) / 100);
}
var toCents = function(text) {
var text = (text || "0");
return (parseFloat(text) * 100);
}
ngModel.$parsers.push(toDollars);
ngModel.$formatters.push(toCents);
}
}
});
Then, in your html, do:
<input type="text" my-cents-to-dollars ng-model="investor.price_cents" />
I'm using CKEditor with refinerycms (rails CMS) I've also added basic support for radius tags (they are the tags used in Radiant, another rails CMS) so I'm able to list some elements from the model in the page just inserting a code.
The problem is that the radius tags mimic html:
<r:product_listing category="products" list_as="grid"/>
When using CKEditor to modify the page contents it thinks the radius tags are invalid HTML, which is correct and the expected behaviour, but I can't find the way to tell CKEditor to just ignore those tags.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Turned out that the tag was being filtered by the sanitize method in rails being called by RefineryCMS.
What kind of issues do you have with custom tags? And on which browsers?
I checked that CKEditor preserves this tag, but wraps entire content with it. To avoid that you have to edit CKEDITOR.dtd, namely:
CKEDITOR.dtd.$empty[ 'r:product_listing' ] = 1;
But that still may not be enough. To have better support you'd need to make more changes in this object - especially important is to define what can be its parents and that it's an inline tag. For example:
CKEDITOR.dtd.p[ 'r:product_listing' ] = 1; // it is allowed in <p> tag
CKEDITOR.dtd.$inline[ 'r:product_listing' ] = 1;
This still may not be enough - for example you'll most likely won't have copy&paste support.
So, if you need more reliable support I'd try a little bit different way. Using CKEDITOR.dataProcessor you can transform this tag into some normal one when data are loaded into editor and when data are retrieved transform it back to that tag.
Example solution:
// We still need this, because this tag has to be parsed correctly.
CKEDITOR.dtd.p[ 'r:product_listing' ] = 1;
CKEDITOR.dtd.$inline[ 'r:product_listing' ] = 1;
CKEDITOR.dtd.$empty[ 'r:product_listing' ] = 1;
CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', {
on: {
instanceReady: function( evt ) {
var editor = evt.editor;
// Add filter for html->data transformation.
editor.dataProcessor.dataFilter.addRules( {
elements: {
'r:product_listing': function( element ) {
// Span isn't self closing element - change that.
element.isEmpty = false;
// Save original element name in data-saved-name attribute.
element.attributes[ 'data-saved-name' ] = element.name;
// Change name to span.
element.name = 'span';
// Push zero width space, because empty span would be removed.
element.children.push( new CKEDITOR.htmlParser.text( '\u200b' ) );
}
}
} );
// Add filter for data->html transformation.
editor.dataProcessor.htmlFilter.addRules( {
elements: {
span: function( element ) {
// Restore everything.
if ( element.attributes[ 'data-saved-name' ] ) {
element.isEmpty = true;
element.children = [];
element.name = element.attributes[ 'data-saved-name' ];
delete element.attributes[ 'data-saved-name' ]
}
}
}
} );
}
}
} );
Now r:product_listing element will be transformed into span with zero-width space inside. Inside editor there will be a normal span, but in source mode and in data got by editor#getData() method you'll see original r:product_listing tag.
I think that this solution should be the safest one. E.g. copy and pasting works.
u can also add as protected source, so no filtering or parsing will be done.
config.protectedSource.push(/<r:product_listing[\s\S]*?\/>/g);
just add these line to your config.js ([\s\S]*? is for any random content)

i wanna ask how to change title in
name
so i want to make link name copy to title automatic
so if i make this code
title link
to
title link
how to do that in php or javascript
i know some in php
but need to make all words in link at database or make for every link variable $
can some one help me in that?
I'd suggest:
function textToTitle(elem, attr) {
if (!elem || !attr) {
// if function's called without an element/node,
// or without a string (an attribute such as 'title',
// 'data-customAttribute', etc...) then returns false and quits
return false;
}
else {
// if elem is a node use that node, otherwise assume it's a
// a string containing the id of an element, search for that element
// and use that
elem = elem.nodeType == 1 ? elem : document.getElementById(elem);
// gets the text of the element (innerText for IE)
var text = elem.textContent || elem.innerText;
// sets the attribute
elem.setAttribute(attr, text);
}
}
var link = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0, len = link.length; i < len; i++) {
textToTitle(link[i], 'title');
}
JS Fiddle demo.
And since it seems traditional to offer a concise jQuery option:
$('a').attr('title', function() { return $(this).text(); });
JS Fiddle demo.
If you don't want to use a library:
var allLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for(var i = 0; i < allLinks.length; i++){
allLinks[i].title = allLinks[i].innerHTML;
}
Since you wanted to do all this to one element on the page, consider using something like this:
var allLinks = document.getElementById('myelement').getElementsByTagName('a'); // gets all the link elements out of #myelement
for ( int i = 0; i < allLinks.length; i++ ){
allLinks[i].title = allLinks[i].innerHTML;
}
Actually, this is roughly the same as before but we are changing the input elements.
Or, assuming you use jQuery, you could do something like this:
$('a').each(function(){ // runs through each link element on the page
$(this).attr('title', $(this).html()); // and changes the title to the text within itself ($(this).html())
});
In JQuery you can change an attribute by knowing the current tag and using the .attr() feature. Something like $('a').attr('title', 'new_title'); http://api.jquery.com/attr/
