Symfony2 - The translation miracle

Many times when project is almost ready customer brings you a change request and say:

"We forget about language versions so there will be 4 of them for the entire site"

Budget is burned. It's late at night. You need a miracle.

The miracle tutorial begins here:

Install:
http://jmsyst.com/bundles/JMSI18nRoutingBundle

and

http://jmsyst.com/bundles/JMSTranslationBundle

Simply add those two to your composer.json file:

#composer.json
"require": {
    "jms/i18n-routing-bundle": "dev-master",
    "jms/translation-bundle": "1.1.*"
}

run the:

$php composer.phar update

Enable the bunldes in your AppKernel.php

$bundles = array (
    ...
    new JMS\I18nRoutingBundle\JMSI18nRoutingBundle(),
    new JMS\TranslationBundle\JMSTranslationBundle(),
);

Edit your config.yml:

jms_i18n_routing:
    default_locale: pl
    locales: [de, en, pl]
    strategy: prefix_except_default

Poof!

So right now you got 3 languages enabled on your site. Check it just by entiering your project with acmedemoapp.com/en prefix :)

look at the:

php app/console router:debug

Poof!

So many localized routes! YAY!

Ok but i still got only one messages translation.

Extract string to translations from your code!

ekhm... I can't gettext dude.

Poof!

Use the symfony command luke!
~ Master Yoda

Just like that:

$php app/console translation:extract pl --bundle=AcmeDemoBundle --enable-extractor=jms_i18n_routing --output-format=yml --exclude-dir=Tests

It don't go I'm using behat and throws an error.

add this:

--exclude-dir=Features

Repeat this for all your bundles.

Poof!

You can send the translations file to the customer. They will take care of the rest!
