Overview

This project demonstrates how to implement dynamic language translation in a web application built with PHPMaker. The system allows users to manage and use translations seamlessly across various pages. Key features include a multi-language interface, real-time language switching, and dynamic messages retrieved from the database.


Tables and Their Roles

  • Users: Stores user information and demonstrates dynamic, language-specific messages during actions like adding, editing, or deleting records.
  • Language: Maintains a list of available languages, allows administrators to activate or deactivate languages, and displays language names with country flags in the user interface.
  • Language_Translation: Stores translation entries for various phrases or terms, facilitating dynamic content translation.
  • Levels: Manages user roles or levels for permission control.
  • Level_Permissions: Specifies permissions for each user level to enforce access control on various actions.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Language Switching: Users can change the interface language from a dropdown menu in the navigation bar. The dropdown displays the language name alongside the country flag for a user-friendly experience.
  • Database-Driven Translations: All translatable messages are stored in the database (Language_Translation table), and messages adapt based on the user’s selected language.
  • Language Management: Admins can manage languages via the Language table, activating or deactivating them as needed.
  • Practical Example: The Users table demonstrates dynamic cancel messages fetched from the database, tailored to the selected language.

Usage Instructions

  1. Setting Up Languages: Add new languages in the Language table, specifying the language ID, name, and corresponding country flag. Use the activation status field to control language availability.
  2. Adding Translations: Use the Language_Translation table to add or update translations for specific terms or messages.
  3. Testing the System: Navigate to the Users table and try adding, editing, or deleting a record. Observe the cancel message displayed in the modal.
  4. Switching Languages: Use the language dropdown menu in the navigation bar to change the application language.
  5. Managing Language Settings: Activate or deactivate languages via the Language table. Deactivated languages are excluded from the dropdown menu.

Benefits

  • Dynamic and Scalable: New languages and translations can be added from the admin interface without modifying code.
  • User-Centric: The interface adapts to the user’s preferred language.
  • Real-Time Updates: Changes in language or translations are applied immediately.

Login

  • User: admin
  • password: master
  • How to check: Go to the users table and try to add a new record or edit or delete added record. In each case, the message about the cancellation of the operation is displayed dynamically based on the language.
