Property Details

$_defaultLanguage protected property

The language that was initially set in the application configuration

protected string $_defaultLanguage null
$_processed protected property

Whether locale URL was processed

protected bool $_processed false
$_request protected property
protected \yii\web\Request $_request null
$enableDefaultLanguageUrlCode public property

Whether the default language should use an URL code like any other configured language.

By default this is false, so for URLs without a language code the default language is assumed. In addition any request to an URL that contains the default language code will be redirected to the same URL without a language code. So if the default language is fr and a user requests /fr/some/page he gets redirected to /some/page. This way the persistet language can be reset to the default language.

If this is true, then an URL that does not contain any language code will be redirected to the same URL with default language code. So if for example the default language is fr, then any request to /some/page will be redirected to /fr/some/page.

public bool $enableDefaultLanguageUrlCode false
$enableLanguageDetection public property

Whether to detect the app language from the HTTP headers (i.e. browser settings). Default is true.

public bool $enableLanguageDetection true
$enableLanguagePersistence public property

Whether to store the detected language in session and (optionally) a cookie. If this is true (default) and a returning user tries to access any URL without a language prefix, he'll be redirected to the respective stored language URL (e.g. /some/page -> /fr/some/page).

public bool $enableLanguagePersistence true
$enableLocaleUrls public property

Whether to enable locale URL specific features

public bool $enableLocaleUrls true
$enablePrettyUrl public property
public $enablePrettyUrl true
$ignoreLanguageUrlPatterns public property

List of route and URL regex patterns to ignore during language processing. The keys of the array are patterns for routes, the values are patterns for URLs. Route patterns are checked during URL creation. If a pattern matches, no language parameter will be added to the created URL. URL patterns are checked during processing incoming requests. If a pattern matches, the language processing will be skipped for that URL. Examples:

[
    
'#^site/(login|register)#' => '#^(login|register)#'
    '#^api/#' 
=> '#^api/#',
]
$languageCookieDuration public property

Number of seconds how long the language information should be stored in cookie, if $enableLanguagePersistence is true. Set to false to disable the language cookie completely. Default is 30 days.

public int $languageCookieDuration 2592000
$languageCookieName public property

The name of the language cookie. Default is '_language'.

public string $languageCookieName '_language'
$languageCookieOptions public property

Configuration options for the language cookie. Note that $languageCookieName and $languageCookeDuration will override any name and expire settings provided here.

$languageParam public property

If a parameter with this name is passed to any createUrl() method, the created URL will use the language specified there. URLs created this way can be used to switch to a different language. If no such parameter is used, the currently detected application language is used.

public string $languageParam 'language'
$languageSessionKey public property

The name of the session key that is used to store the language. Default is '_language'.

public string $languageSessionKey '_language'
$languages public property

List of available language codes. More specific patterns should come first, e.g. 'en_us' before 'en'. This can also contain mapping of => , e.g. 'english' => 'en'.

public array $languages = []

Method Details

createUrl() public method

public void createUrl ( $params )

getDefaultLanguage() public method

public string getDefaultLanguage ( )
return string

The language option that was initially set in the application config file, before it was modified by this component.

init() public method

public void init ( )
matchCode() protected method

Tests whether the given code matches any of the configured languages.

If the code is a single language code, and matches either

  • an exact language as configured (ll)
  • a language with a country wildcard (ll-*)

this language code is returned.

If the code also contains a country code, and matches either

  • an exact language/country code as configured (ll-CC)
  • a language with a country wildcard (ll-*)

the code with uppercase country is returned. If only the language part matches a configured language, that language is returned.

protected array matchCode ( $code )
$code string

The code to match

return array

Of [language, country] where both can be null if no match

parseRequest() public method

public void parseRequest ( $request )
$request
processLocaleUrl() protected method

Checks for a language or locale parameter in the URL and rewrites the pathInfo if found.

If no parameter is found it will try to detect the language from persistent storage (session / cookie) or from browser settings.

protected void processLocaleUrl ( $request )
$request \yii\web\Request
redirectToLanguage() protected method

Redirect to the current URL with given language code applied

protected void redirectToLanguage ( $language )
$language string
