Translation Tools for Symfony2

[ipartemk]

in ZendFramework I used PoEdit.

Symfony provide 3 types libraries
· xliff: XLIFF file;
· php: PHP file;
· yml: YAML file.

I need Tool, wich collect translation KEYS from
- Controllers
trans('Symfony2 is great');
trans('Hello %name%', array('%name%' => $name));
transChoice( 'There is one apple|There are %count% apples', 10, array('%count%' => 10) );

- Twig
{% trans %}Hello %name%{% endtrans %}
{% transchoice count %} {0} There is no apples|{1} There is one apple|]1,Inf] There are %count% apples {% endtranschoice %}

...and give interface for translation this keys. Results should saved in any provided type library. In general , everything what PoEdit can.

I saw this links, but not try:
http://xliff-tools.freedesktop.org/wiki/
http://drupal.org/project/xliff

What Tool do you use?

This it at the moment no strength of Symfony2. IIRC the core team is working on gettext support for the 2.1 release.

I'm currently using only key based translations and as I don't have that much entries, I'm doing it by good old copy and paste. A simple script reading the files with some regex magic should do the trick to create a translation file of your choice. Then you'd only need a separate tool for the translation process itself.

Thank you for reply.
I know about version 2.1 with gettext, but I doubt that PoEdit can find keys in Twig...

Your approach with copy/paste is not very good with several moments:
- you can lost some keys;
- you can make mistake in key or change them and not translate later;

So the best way is automatic key searching with some tool.

One friend give me an URL to bundle

may be this can help, but I'm not try yet
If some one already used this and can say , is this bundle solve my problem in topic ?

I know that doing manually isn't a solution as soon as you hit a certain load of text. ^^

That sounds really nice and I think I stumbled upon it some time ago. As it's created by schmittjoh (core dev), I'd really give it a try.

I'll add it to my project and see how it's working out.
