[TYPO3-mvc] XLIFF multilang

Sun Mar 3 21:51:29 CET 2013

Hello guys,

i do have an locallang.xml file, which looks like this:

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
> <T3locallang>
>     <meta type="array">
>         <type>module</type>
>         <description>Language labels for Extension Builder BE Module</description>
>     </meta>
>     <data type="array">
>         <languageKey index="default" type="array">
>             <label index="mlang_tabs_tab">Themes Builder</label>
>             <label index="mlang_labels_tabdescr">Create Themes</label>
>         </languageKey>
> 		<languageKey index="de" type="array">
>             <label index="mlang_tabs_tab">Themes Builder</label>
>             <label index="mlang_labels_tabdescr">Dieses Modul erlaubt das erstellen eines Gerüsts für einen Ext:themes Theme.</label>
>         </languageKey>
>     </data>
> </T3locallang>

This file contains 2 languages (en / de).

To achieve the same followed the article on:

	http://www.felixnagel.com/blog/artikel/2012/11/09/how-to-use-xlf-files-in-typo3-extbase-extensions/

so i created 2 xlf files in my Language folder.
This way i have the following files:

1. en: locallang.xlf

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <xliff version="1.0">
> 	<file source-language="en" datatype="plaintext" original="messages" date="2011-10-17T20:22:33Z" product-name="themes_builder">
> 		<header/>
> 		<body>
> 			<trans-unit id="mlang_tabs_tab" xml:space="preserve">
>                <source>Themes Builder</source>
>             </trans-unit>
> 			<trans-unit id="mlang_labels_tabdescr" xml:space="preserve">
>                <source>Create Themes</source>
>             </trans-unit>
> 		</body>
> 	</file>
> </xliff>

2. de: de.locallang.xlf

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <xliff version="1.0">
> 	<file source-language="en" target-language="de" datatype="plaintext" original="messages" date="2012-06-05T10:52:05Z" product-name="themes_builder">
> 		<header/>
> 		<body>
> 			<trans-unit id="mlang_tabs_tab" xml:space="preserve">
>                <source>XLF ... Themes Builder</source>
>             </trans-unit>
> 			<trans-unit id="mlang_labels_tabdescr" xml:space="preserve">
>                <source>Dieses Modul erlaubt das erstellen eines Gerüsts für einen Ext:themes Theme.</source>
>             </trans-unit>
> 		</body>
> 	</file>
> </xliff>

So how do i achieve, that the language is displayed according to the
setting in the user preferences. I first thought, that i can put both
file nodes into the first file. Sadly i have no idea how to achieve that :(

Any Idea?

PS: Is there any backported functionality, which allows me to use xliff
in 4.5 LTS?

Thanks in advice
Kay
