README

This console application allows you to validate phpBB language packages.

Requirements

This extension requires PHP 5.5.9 or above.

Installation

Firstly, download the latest British English (en) language pack from phpBB.com as this is the default source language. Then clone this repository and download the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb-translation-validator.git
composer.phar install

For the easiest results, create a directory called 3.2 or 3.3 in the root of the Translation Validator. Upload the en language page into this directory, along with the languages you wish to test. Which leads e.g. to:

phpbb-translation-validator/3.2/en/
phpbb-translation-validator/3.2/fr/
phpbb-translation-validator/3.3/en/
phpbb-translation-validator/3.3/fr/
phpbb-translation-validator/translation.php

The simplest way to validate is to then run this command (the final argument is the language you wish to test and that has already been uploaded to the 3.2 directory; eg. fr for French):

 php translation.php validate fr

There are more arguments that can be supplied. For example, suppose you wanted to have your 3.2 directory in a different location, you wanted to explicitly specify phpBB version 3.2 (default validation is against 3.3), you wanted to run in safe mode and you wanted to see all notices displayed - you would run this command:

 php translation.php validate fr 
    --package-dir=/path/to/your/3.2 
    --phpbb-version=3.2 
    --safe-mode 
    --display-notices

The --safe-mode flag indicates that you want to parse files instead of directly including them. This is useful if you want to run validations on a web server.

If you are missing the English language files for the official Viglink extension, they can be easily donwloaded using this command:

php translation.php download --files=phpbb-extensions/viglink --phpbb-version=3.3

Tests

In your project you can add phpBB Translation Validator as a dependency:

	{
		"require-dev": {
			"phpbb/translation-validator": "1.5.*"
		}
	}

Then add a php vendor/bin/translation.php call to your workflow.

We use GitHub Actions as a continuous integration server and phpunit for our unit testing.

To run the unit tests locally, use this command:

 php vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit tests/
