Lexicons

Lexicons

To use lexicons you should create a file named "lexicon name.inc.php" in a folder named as full language name (russian-UTF8, english etc.) or ISO 639-1 code (en, ru etc.):

<?php
if (!defined('MODX_BASE_PATH')) {die();}
$_lang = array();
$_lang['key'] = 'Value.';
return $_lang;
?>

Parameters to load lexicons are:

• langDir - lexicon folder path;
• lang - lexicon language name (the "manager_language" configuration parameter value by default) or ISO 639-1 code; ISO codes are translated to language names for bundled languages;
• lexicon - lexicon names, comma separated. Or specify an array of values right here:

  &lexicon=`{
  "english":{
      "test":"Test lexicon value",
      "foo":"Another lexicon value",
      "bar":"And one more value"
  },
  "russian-UTF8":{
      "test":"Проверка",
      "foo":"Еще проверка",
      "bar":"И еще"
  }
  }`

  Or:

  &lexicon=`{
  "en":{
      "test":"Test lexicon value",
      "foo":"Another lexicon value",
      "bar":"And one more value"
  },
  "ru":{
      "test":"Проверка",
      "foo":"Еще проверка",
      "bar":"И еще"
  }
  }`

After that you can use the [%key%] placeholders to output lexicon entries. It possible to connect external lexicons with the help of adapter class (see "assets/snippets/FormLister/lib/LexiconHandlers/EvoBabelLexiconHandler.php" file for details; adapter class name should be set in "lexiconHandler" parameter.
