PHPText - simple localization

There are many solutions for program localization and of course gettext. However, explaining to the ordinary windows user how to translate a program with his help is a great difficulty.
So I decided to write a small application for easy localization.


It is written in C # and is able to translate messages using Google Translate. It can also work with a ready-made dictionary.
To store dictionaries, I chose the simplest format:

<?php $_LANG = array( 'id' => 'text' ); ?> 

In the code, instead of the standard _ (...) , I decided to use tr (...) (as in Qt), since otherwise there will be problems with the topic of who GetText Support: enabled . In the program, the function name can be replaced in the settings.

After selecting the source directory, the program collects all occurrences of tr | _ (...) in php files and adds them to the table. Each line is assigned a status (column New):

• - the message is present in the source and the dictionary.
• - the message is present in the dictionary, but not found in the source.
• - A new message. Present only in the source.

')
Unnecessary messages can be deleted. New translate using Google and edit something yourself.

I was able to translate my project in 20 minutes. I hope that my application is useful to someone else.
