Translation File Format

Translation files should be written in the NEON format. For example:

"Hello, world!": "Hello, world!"

Using Translations in Templates

You can translate strings directly in your Latte templates using the following syntax:

{_"Hello, world!"}

{* Using a filter for translation *}
{$var|translate}

Translating Forms

To use translations in forms, simply set the translator for the form:

$form->setTranslator($this->getTranslator());

Route Configuration for Language Switching

Set up your routes to support language prefixes. For example, you can define routes with language codes:

$router->addRoute('[<lang=en cs|en>/]<presenter>/<action>', 'Presenter:action');

Switching Languages in Templates

To switch between languages in your templates, you can use n:href to pass the selected language:

<a n:href="this, 'lang' => 'cs'">Czech</a>
<a n:href="this, 'lang' => 'en'">English</a>
