New Multi Language Module

Dang, I just finished a site that could have used this at about the same time this was posted. Right now we have phrases in global variables, but your solution looks much nicer. Will have to use this next time.

Hi,

this looks interesting. Can I retrieve the language strings from my own custom plugins?

Best, Sammi

in theory yes, you can, as long as your plugin takes care of rendering the language strings before the multi language expression is rendered.

Hi,

do you know of any success stories where users combine this with the Structure module?

Best, Sammi

Here is a fix for the depreciated eregi method in mcp.multi_language.php:

Change this:

if ( ! eregi("^[a-zA-z0-9\_\-]+$", $_POST['phrase_index'])) 
{
    $error[] = $LANG->line('invalid_characters');
}

to this:

if (!preg_match("/^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*(?:_[A-Za-z0-9]+)*$/", $_POST['phrase_index'])) 
{
    $error[] = $LANG->line('invalid_characters');
}

And then you are allowing alphanumerical characters and an underscore as a delimiter.

thanks for posting this sammi!

You’re most welcome.

Could you explain a bit more? I have not been able to do this.
