I am using ZendTranslate(csv adapter) with Smarty in my project. I use ZendTranslate as standalone not all Zend because it seems very nice and easy to use. But I have a problem. I cant find out best way to grab all content and send to Smarty. My simple code: 

require_once 'Smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php';
require_once 'Zend/Translate.php';
$lang = $_GET["lang"];
$translate = new Zend_Translate(
    array(
        'adapter' => 'csv',
        'content' => 'csv/lang_eng.csv',
        'locale'  => 'en'
    )
);
$translate->addTranslation(
    array(
        'content' => 'csv/lang_' . $lang . '.csv',
        'locale' => $lang
    )
);
$smarty->assign("m2", "" . $translate->translate('m2', $lang));
$smarty->display("views/page.tpl");

and this is ok for one translation but I have more then 30 on one page. How to grab all of that on best way and send to Smarty?

It's better to register smarty modification. Add this to place, when you initialize Smarty:

require_once 'Smarty/Smarty.class.php';
// ...
$this->Smarty();
// ...
$obj = new TemplateTranslate();
$this->register_modifier('translate', array($obj, 'translate' ));

Main translate class:

class TemplateTranslate
{
    public static $zt;

    public function __construct()
    {
        self::$zt = new Zend_Translate(array(
            'adapter' => 'csv',
            'content' => 'csv/lang_eng.csv',
            'locale' => 'en'
        ));
    }

    public static function translate($string)
    {
        return self::$zt->_($string);
    }
}

lang_eng.csv:

"Text on another language";"English text"

Then you can use like this:

<p>{'Text on another language'|translate}</p>

  • Hey this is good, really thanks! But I got a blank page when use: $smarty->register_modifier('translate', array($obj, 'translate' )); In your example u wrote $this->register_modifier('translate', array($obj, 'translate' )); $this should be a instance of smarty? – consigliere Sep 14 '12 at 15:32
  • Yes. Blank page? Are errors reporting is enabled? Give me your error message. – Alex Pliutau Sep 14 '12 at 17:46
  • Here is my error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'Call of unknown method 'register_modifier'.' in C:\wamp\www\test\Smarty\libs\sysplugins\smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 806 Class TemplateTranslate works perfect without Smarty end I use the latest Smarty version. – consigliere Sep 14 '12 at 18:22
  • Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

    {'Text on another language'|translate}

    in every other call for a func translate will be every time instanced a class TemplateTranslate or just one time?     – consigliere Sep 14 '12 at 22:10
  • @consigliere, as you can see from the script, the class itself is instantiated once before registered in Smarty. Also you can try **put modifier in plugins directory**. This approach is described [here](http://www.denisvlasov.net/155/adding-modifier-in-smarty-template-engine/). – Paul T. Rawkeen Apr 04 '13 at 14:58

This is how u have to register modifier in latest version of Smarty: 

$smarty ->registerPlugin('modifier','translate', array($obj, 'translate' ));

May someone find this as helpful!
