Is there any possible way to translate strings in controllers instead of view?
Right now, in my controllers, if I pass strings like :
public function indexAction() {
return array('message' => 'example message');
}
It will be translated in index.phtml
<?php print $this->translate($message);?>
It works well, but poeditor unable to find strings from controller files
Guess it would be cool if I can use something like :
public function indexAction() {
return array('message' => $view->translate('example message'));
}
in controllers
Thanks in advance for help
To use view helper in controller, you can use 'getServiceLocator'
$helper = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('ViewHelperManager')->get('helperName');
Either you can use php getText function ___('my custom message') and add "_" as sources keyword in poedit (in catalog properties) so poedit will filter strings from controller. eg:
array('message' => _('my custom message'));
And as per your code, you can use helper directly like this
$translate = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('ViewHelperManager')->get('translate');
array('message' => $translate('my custom message'));
