Zend_translate in Form

[whisher]

Hi.

I'm wondering if this is the right way to proceed

to get the translation in the Zend_Form

In my bootstrap

 protected function _initIn18()
    {
        $translate = new Zend_Translate('array', APPLICATION_PATH . '/languages/en_US.php', 'en_US');
        $translate->addTranslation(APPLICATION_PATH . '/languages/it_IT.php', 'it_IT');
        $translate->setLocale('it_IT');
        Zend_Form::setDefaultTranslator($translate);
    }
In my Form
$translator = $this->getTranslator();
        // Firstname
        $this->addElement('text', 'firstname', array(
            'required'   => true,
            'maxlength' => 25,
            'title' => $translator->translate('form_User_Register_Tooltip_Uname'),
            'label'      => 'form_User_Register_Label_Uname',
            'filters'    => array('StringTrim','StringtoLower'),
            'validators' => array(
                array('stringLength',true, array(2, 25)),
                array('regex', false, array('#^[a-z]+#i')))
        ));
Thanks in advance
Bye

Yes, this will work fine.

I would set the translator application wide within your bootstrap:
Zend_Registry::set('Zend_Translate', $translate);

Or do you want to use different languages for the same user ? :-)

Additionally, when you already set a default translator, you don't need to
add translation to the element again. Only when you use a textparser to
extract these strings when you don't have them anywhere else.

Hi Thomas,

Are there any examples of these textparsers anywhere? I can't seem to find a lot of information about it anywhere, but it must be a big problem for anyone with a large international code base. Are there any ZF components that do this, or is there scope for such a component? Possibly part of Zend_Tool?
