Back to Comparison to Sitellite CMS.
Elefant borrows its main ideas here from Sitellite as well, but renames them. In Sitellite, to translate a string, you would use:
<?php
echo __ ('My string');
?>
In Elefant, you would say:
<?php
echo __ ('My string');
?>
intl_getf() also becomes __ (), just include the additional parameters:
<?php
echo __ ('Not found: %s', $thing_thats_not_found);
?>
In Sitellite templates, you would translate text like this:
{intl My string}
In Elefant, this becomes:
{""My string""}
Elefant supports the same translation file formats as Sitellite, in a lang folder instead of inc/lang, as well as the same ability to set default languages, fallbacks, and negotiation methods. For more info, see Internationalization.
