sysutils/pear-Translation2 2.0.4,1 DragonFly

This class provides an easy way to retrieve all the strings for a multilingual site from a data source (i.e. db). The following containers are provided, more will follow:

• PEAR::DB
• PEAR::MDB
• PEAR::MDB2
• gettext
• XML
• PEAR::DB_DataObject (experimental) It is designed to reduce the number of queries to the db, caching the results when possible. An Admin class is provided to easily manage translations (add/remove a language, add/remove a string).

Currently, the following decorators are provided:

• CacheLiteFunction (for file-based caching)
• CacheMemory (for memory-based caching)
• DefaultText (to replace empty strings with their keys)
• Iconv (to switch from/to different encodings)
• Lang (resort to fallback languages for empty strings)
• SpecialChars (replace html entities with their hex codes)
• UTF-8 (to convert UTF-8 strings to ISO-8859-1)
