Language Support

[aogilvie]

Hi I am planning to send a PR for language support;

---

Given a company is in country A
Then default application language can be set to A

Given a user is in country A
Then a user can select language A

Given a user is in country A
And the user prefers language B from country B
Then a user can select language B

Given a user is logged in
Then the user language is set to last known set language or default company language.

---

• For remembering language preferences I was thinking a cookie, that way the login screen will be set to the users language preference.
• Initial languages will be English (UK), English (US) and Japanese.
• Language files should be plug and play

So here are my questions;

Is this project still active?
Is this a desirable feature?
Does this application already use cookies?
Are there other requirements for this feature?

Thanks. @maxfierke

Hi @aogilvie,

Is this project still active?

While I'm not actively developing this and do not have any plans to actively develop OpenSkedge any further, I am open to PRs and am willing to review them.

Is this a desirable feature?

Folks have reached out to me before about localization. If those folks are still using OpenSkedge, I'm sure they'd still like to see such a feature.

Does this application already use cookies?

Yup!

Are there other requirements for this feature?

Not sure how you are planning on approaching it, but I think the only requirement would be that it use something the built-in PHP intl extension and/or the Symfony Translation component, so that it's easy to build off of and contribute to.

What is the recommended branch to work off?

@aogilvie I would recommend working off of 1.2.x-dev since that contains a newer version of Symfony and targets a newer version of PHP
