I am working on a project that requires translation into 40+ languages.
I have most things all sorted but this one is really buggging me. Please take a look at this to see what I need:
<script type="text/javascript">
/* Purpose: Converts all non-latin based characters to their ASCII entity value
* Usage: [String].encode()
* Arguments: none
* Returns: String
*/
String.prototype.encode = function() {
return this.replace(/([^\x01-\x7E])/g, function(s) { return "&#"+s.charCodeAt(0)+";"; });
};
/**
* Converts all ASCII entity value characters into their unicode equivelant
* @return (String)
*/
String.prototype.decode = function() {
Number.prototype.toHex = function(pad) {
var s = this.toString(16).toUpperCase();
var v = "";
if(typeof pad == "number") {
while(v.length + s.length < pad) {
v += "0";
}
}
return v + s;
};
return this.replace(/(&#([^;]*);)/g, function(s) { return unescape("%u"+ Number(RegExp.$2).toHex(4)); });
};
function translate() {
document.getElementById("txtOutput").value = document.getElementById("txtInput").value.encode();
}
</script>
<div class="admin_block">
<h1>Translator</h1>
<p>Sometimes you need to add non latin Characters to the templates, php code and more. This tool will help you convert your text</p>
<h2>Type or paste non latin text in here</h2>
<form name="input" onmousemove="translate();">
<textarea style="width: 900px" id="txtInput" onkeyup="translate();" onchange="translate();" onmouseup="translate();" onmousemove="translate();"></textarea>
</form>
<h2>Copy and paste this safe code below</h2>
<form onmousemove="translate();">
<textarea style="width: 900px" id="txtOutput"></textarea><br />
<button id="btnSelect" onclick="translate();document.getElementById('txtOutput').select(); return false;">Translate and select</button>
</form>
</div>
Take some Russian text, some thai etc and pop it into my awesome JS converter - it outputs the ASCII values - these values I can now use in PHP array, html templates etc and all is fine.
I am writing a new method for my PHP translation class to convert PHP language array into new languages - heres the issue. How can I get PHP to do what this JS is doing fine? I have tried htmlentities,iconv etc. I want to see translated text such as this:
Соломоновы Острова
Соломоновы Острова
