Class TranslateBehavior
This behavior provides a way to translate dynamic data by keeping translations in a separate table linked to the original record from another one. Translated fields can be configured to override those in the main table when fetched or put aside into another property for the same entity.
If you wish to override fields, you need to call the locale
method in this behavior for setting the language you want to fetch from the translations table.
If you want to bring all or certain languages for each of the fetched records, you can use the custom translations
finders that is exposed to the table.

Overrides
Cake\ORM\Behavior::__construct()
_bundleTranslatedFieldssource protected
_bundleTranslatedFields( Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity )
Helper method used to generated multiple translated field entities out of the data found in the _translations
property in the passed entity. The result will be put into its _i18n
property
Parameters
-
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface
$entity
- Entity
_findExistingTranslationssource protected
_findExistingTranslations( array $ruleSet )
Returns the ids found for each of the condition arrays passed for the translations table. Each records is indexed by the corresponding position to the conditions array
Parameters

$ruleSet
- an array of arary of conditions to be used for finding each
Returns
array
array
_referenceNamesource protected
_referenceName( Cake\ORM\Table $table )
Determine the reference name to use for a given table
The reference name is usually derived from the class name of the table object (PostsTable -> Posts), however for autotable instances it is derived from the database table the object points at - or as a last resort, the alias of the autotable instance.
Parameters
-
Cake\ORM\Table
$table
- The table class to get a reference name for.
Returns
string
string
_rowMappersource protected
_rowMapper( Cake\Datasource\ResultSetInterface $results , string $locale )
Modifies the results from a table find in order to merge the translated fields into each entity for a given locale.
Parameters
-
Cake\Datasource\ResultSetInterface
$results
- Results to map.
- string
$locale
- Locale string
Returns
Cake\Collection\Collection

beforeFindsource public
beforeFind( Cake\Event\Event $event , Cake\ORM\Query $query , ArrayObject $options )
Callback method that listens to the beforeFind
event in the bound table. It modifies the passed query by eager loading the translated fields and adding a formatter to copy the values into the main table records.
Parameters

- Query
- ArrayObject
$options
- The options for the query
beforeSavesource public
beforeSave( Cake\Event\Event $event , Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface $entity , ArrayObject $options )
Modifies the entity before it is saved so that translated fields are persisted in the database too.
Parameters
-
Cake\Event\Event
$event
- The beforeSave event that was fired
-
Cake\Datasource\EntityInterface
$entity
- The entity that is going to be saved
- ArrayObject
$options
- the options passed to the save method
findTranslationssource public
findTranslations( Cake\ORM\Query $query , array $options )
Custom finder method used to retrieve all translations for the found records. Fetched translations can be filtered by locale by passing the locales
key in the options array.
Translated values will be found for each entity under the property _translations
, containing an array indexed by locale name.
Example:
$article = $articles->find('translations', ['locales' => ['eng', 'deu'])->first(); $englishTranslatedFields = $article->get('_translations')['eng'];
If the locales
array is not passed, it will bring all translations found for each record.
Parameters

Cake\ORM\Query
$query
- The original query to modify
- array
$options
- Options
Returns
Cake\ORM\Query
\Cake\ORM\Query
groupTranslationssource public
groupTranslations( Cake\Datasource\ResultSetInterface $results )

key

$results
- Results to modify.
Returns
Cake\Collection\Collection

- array
$config
- The config for this behavior.
Overrides
Cake\ORM\Behavior::initialize()
localesource public
locale( string|null $locale null )
Sets all future finds for the bound table to also fetch translated fields for the passed locale. If no value is passed, it returns the currently configured locale
Parameters

Returns
string
string
setupFieldAssociationssource public
setupFieldAssociations( array $fields , string $table , string $model , string $strategy )

Additionally it creates a i18n
HasMany association that will be used for fetching all translations for each record in the bound table
Parameters

- string
$table
- the table name to use for storing each field translation
- string
$model

will be ignored, as will methods declared on Cake\ORM\Behavior
Returns

_resolveMethodAliasessource protected
_resolveMethodAliases( string $key , array $defaults , array $config )
Removes aliased methods that would otherwise be duplicated by userland configuration.

- The default method mappings.
- array
$config
- The customized method mappings.
Returns

implementedEventssource public
implementedEvents( )
Gets the Model callbacks this behavior is interested in.
By defining one of the callback methods a behavior is assumed to be interested in the related event.

Implementation of
Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface::implementedEvents()
implementedFinderssource public
implementedFinders( )
implementedFinders
Provides an alias->methodname map of which finders a behavior implements. Example:
[ 'this' => 'findThis', 'alias' => 'findMethodName' ]
With the above example, a call to $Table->find('this')
will call $Behavior->findThis()
and a call to $Table->find('alias')
will call $Behavior->findMethodName()
It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples
Returns
array
array
implementedMethodssource public
implementedMethods( )
implementedMethods
Provides an alias->methodname map of which methods a behavior implements. Example:
[ 'method' => 'method', 'aliasedmethod' => 'somethingElse' ]
With the above example, a call to $Table->method()
will call $Behavior->method()
and a call to $Table->aliasedmethod()
will call $Behavior->somethingElse()
It is recommended, though not required, to define implementedFinders in the config property of child classes such that it is not necessary to use reflections to derive the available method list. See core behaviors for examples
Returns
array

verifyConfigsource public
verifyConfig( )
verifyConfig
Checks that implemented keys contain values pointing at callable.
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\Exception
if config are invalid
