Question

I want to find out how I can store small strings in an array and output them correct.
In this case I want to set a two-letter language code in an array at the top and
then output a string in that language later.

I really appreciate your help.

The following code I’ve made does not work but it’s something like this I’m looking for:

<?php

// Set the language
$settings = array(
  Language => "en"
);

// Set the strings
$locales = array(
  Installed => array("en", "da"),
  TheString => array("Dog", "Hund")
);

// Do some magic
$lang = $settings["Language"][0];

// Output Dog (or Hund if the language is "da")
echo $lang["TheString"];

?>

Answer 1

$settings = array( 'lanaguage' => 'en');

$locales = array( 
    'en' => array(
        'dog' => 'dog'
    ),
    'da' => array(
        'dog' => 'hund'
    )
);

// You don't need this, but you can get it like so:
$installed_languages = array_keys( $locales); 

echo $locales[ $settings['language'] ]['dog'];

This will either output dog if $settings['language'] is en, or hund if it is da.
