Datetime formatting
- Datetime values are formatted based on locale,
timezone and type (none, short, medium, long,
full)
- Datetime format configuration extracted from
libicu via PHP INTL extension
- Datetime formatter accepts DateTime object,
string and timestamp values

Datetime formatting
PHP: $dateTime = new DateTime(
'2011-12-13 14:15:16',
new DateTimeZone('UTC')
);
$formatter = $this->get('oro_locale.formatter.date_time');
$formatter->format($dateTime);
$formatter->formatDate($dateTime->format('Y-m-d'));
$formatter->formatTime($dateTime->getTimestamp());

JS: require(['orolocale/js/formatter/datetime'],
function(datetimeFormatter) {
datetimeFormatter.formatDateTime('2011-12-13T14:15:16+0000');
datetimeFormatter.formatDate('2011-12-13');
datetimeFormatter.formatTime('14:15:16');
});

Datetime format handling
- Different libraries use different datetime formats
- Oro Platform provides format converters for
libicu, moment.js and jquery.ui
- New formatters can be registered using DI tag
oro_locale.format_converter.date_time

Datetime timezone handling
- To simplify timezone handling all DateTime
object in the backend should be in UTC
timezone
- DateTime objects saved to the DB and
extracted from the DB are automatically
converted to UTC timezone
- Formatting of DateTime objects should be
performed using DateTimeConverter via
service oro_locale.formatter.date_time

Number formatting
- Numbers are formatted based on locale
- Formatter works with decimal, percent, currency,
spellout, duration and ordinal values
- Number format configuration extracted from
libicu via PHP INTL extension
- Currency use symbols from YAML files
Resources/config/oro/currency_data.yml

Number formatting
$formatter = $this->get('oro_locale.formatter.number');
$formatter->formatDecimal(12345.6789);
$formatter->formatDecimal(12345);
$formatter->formatPercent(1.2345);
$formatter->formatCurrency(12345.6789);
$formatter->formatCurrency(12345.6789, 'EUR');
PHP:
Twig: {{ 12345.6789|oro_format_decimal }}
{{ 12345|oro_format_decimal }}
{{ 1.2345|oro_format_percent }}
{{ 12345.6789|oro_format_currency }}
{{ 12345.6789|oro_format_currency({'currency':'EUR'}) }}
https://github.com/orocrm/platform/blob/1.6.0/src/Oro/Bundle/LocaleBundle/Formatter/NumberFormatter.php

Number formatting
require(['orolocale/js/formatter/number'],
function(numberFormatter) {
numberFormatter.formatDecimal(12345.6789);
numberFormatter.formatInteger(12345);
numberFormatter.formatPercent(1.2345);
numberFormatter.formatCurrency(12345.6789);
numberFormatter.formatCurrency(12345.6789, 'EUR');
});

configuration from YAML files to web/js/oro.

Translation is the communication of the
meaning of a source-language text by
means of an equivalent target-language text.
What is translation?

Oro Platform use standard Symfony2 mechanism to
perform frontend translation in PHP, in Twig
templates, and translator.js library from
BazingaJsTranslationBundle
Translations are stored in YAML files in any bundle
and in the application database.
How translations used in
Oro Platform?

- messages - common messages used both for
system and custom purposes
- validators - validation messages
- jsmessages - messages translated on frontend
side
- tooltips - messages for and form field tooltips
- entity - data for entities translated with Gedmo
translatable extension
Translation domains

Recommended
translation message format
<application>.<bundle>.<section>.<key>
oro.user.form.choose_gender
oro.dataaudit.change_history.title
oro.entity_config.menu.entities_list.label
Format:
Examples:

Translation extractors
- PhpCodeExtractor - extracts formatted
strings from PHP code
- NavigationTranslationExtractor -
extracts title translations from navigation.
yml files
/src/Oro/Bundle/TranslationBundle/Extractor/PhpCodeExtractor.php
/src/Oro/Bundle/NavigationBundle/Title/TranslationExtractor.php

Translation on backend
$this->get('translator')->trans('oro.dashboard.title.main');
$this->get('translator')->trans('oro.entity.item', ['%id%' => 42]);
PHP:
Twig: {{ 'oro.dashboard.title.main'|trans }}
{{ 'oro.entity.item'|trans({'%id%': 42}) }}
Result: Dashboard
Item #42
# messages.en.yml
oro.dashboard.title.main: "Dashboard"
oro.entity.item: "Item #%id%"
YAML:

Translation on frontend
require(['orotranslation/js/translator'],
function(__) {
__('oro.note.add_note_title');
__('oro.datagrid.pagination.totalRecords', {totalRecords: 42});
});
JS:
Result: Add note
Total of 42 records
# jsmessages.en.yml
oro.note.add_note_title: "Add note"
oro.datagrid.pagination:
totalRecords: "Total of {{ totalRecords }} records"
YAML:

Translation in the database
- table oro_translation
- entity OroTranslationBundle:Translation
- scopes SYSTEM and UI
# id
# key
# value
# locale
# domain
# scope
Translation

Translation in database
- OrmTranslationLoader - loads
translations from database
- DatabasePersister - persists translations
to database
/src/Oro/Bundle/TranslationBundle/Translation/OrmTranslationLoader.php
/src/Oro/Bundle/TranslationBundle/Translation/DatabasePersister.php

Translation configuration
System > Configuration > Language settings

Interaction with Crowdin
- Dump translations from translation extractors
and YAML files
- Download translations from Crowdin
- Merge them with existing translations
- Upload updated translations to Crowdin
Oro Platform Crowdin
1. dump 2. download
3. merge
4. upload

Debug translator
- Wraps translated strings in square brackets -
[<string>]
- Wraps not translated strings into exclamation
marks - !!!---string---!!!
- Add JS prefix for frontend translations
- can be enabled in app/config/config.yml
oro_translation:
debug_translator: true
/src/Oro/Bundle/TranslationBundle/Translation/DebugTranslator.php

Debug translator

Translation CLI commands
oro:translation:dump - dumps frontend
translations into web/js/translation/<locale>.js
oro:translation:pack - extracts translation files
for each bundle in specified vendor namespace
and creates language pack
