Development rules for internationalization (i18n)
In Dolibarr code source, translations are made by using a method available on object $langs with the key to translate as parameter of this method. The $langs object contains definition of use language. This object is always defined in all pages.
There is 2 methods:
$langs->trans('TRAD_STRING');
This methode return translation of key TRAD_STRING, and encode result into HTML entities to allow to output it correctly (even with special characters) into an HTML page.
$langs->transnoentitiesnoconv('TRAD_STRING');
This method return translation of key TRAD_STRING, but result is translated string with no particular encoding (string is stored in UTF-8 in memory).
This 2 methods can accept arguments that will be used to replaced strings %s found in resulted translated string.
Note: If, as arguments, you use a string that is itslef a translated string, you must use method $langs->transnoentitiesnoconv, otherwise string will be encoded twice.
Example:
print $langs->trans("STRING_TO_TRANSLATE",$langs->transnoentitiesnoconv("STRING_PARAM1"))
