Localization software

in PHP

[adni18]

Hey there

Does anybody know of any good open-source PHP localization software (for having a list of text entries and allowing users to participate in translating those to different languages)?

I am looking for something similar to Rosetta (on Launchpad.com) or the Google in your Language type of thing.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of software like this?

Google in your Language type of thing

I have found a solution using Google's translation. The idea is actually very nicely done. In any case, here's the website [publicwarehouse.co.uk]. Other than that you might want to check some script repositories (hotscripts, sourceforge,, etc...) for other possible solutions.

Hope this helps some... :)

Actually, I wasn't looking for something that will translate text, but more like Rosetta or Google in your language (not Google Translator):

[services.google.com...]

Something similar to that is what I'm looking for, I've looked through hotscripts but can't seem to find anything.

Wow, I reread your first post and apparently I missed some details :)

Anyway, I'm thinking you are going to have to write a custom one for this (at least I would ;)). It shouldn't be too hard, but I guess it depends on how you go about doing it. It can all be done with two tables in a database (thinking about it quickly). Have one table for the text that you want to be translated in the originating language (I'm guessing english) and have the other table keep user translations with an id number (referencing which blob was translated).

You can try searching around some of the other repositories such as sourceforge or phpclasses, but I don't think anything will turn up, as you said.

Either way, I wish you luck!
