Definition of source-language

[leokolln]

On the generated xliff file of an extract, the source-language is always source-language="en".

I'm developing my app in pt_BR (so it should be the source-language, right?), my config.yml:

framework:
    default_locale: pt_BR
    translator: { fallback: pt_BR }

So, if i extract using:

php app/console translation:extract pt_BR
php app/console translation:extract fr
php app/console translation:extract en

I get respectively (example):

<file date="2012-11-08T15:11:54Z" source-language="en" target-language="pt_BR" datatype="plaintext" original="not.available">

<file date="2012-11-08T15:26:38Z" source-language="en" target-language="fr" datatype="plaintext" original="not.available">

<file date="2012-11-08T15:26:43Z" source-language="en" target-language="en" datatype="plaintext" original="not.available">

So, 2 points:

• There should be a way to define source-language`.
• If the extracted language is equal to the defined source-language, there should be an target-language (as in the en example)?

I believe that there should be a new configuration parameter, as nor default_locale or fallback have the meaning for a "Strings are in X locale".
As each bundle can be written in different "source-languages" maybe the option should be defined when the extraction happens?

This is still a problem for me. I'm writing my strings in german an the source-language in the xliff files is always "en". And that's a problem for my translation tool Matecat.

Hi There,

You only need to add the parameter 'source_language' in your config.yml

jms_translation:
    source_language: "%locale%"
    configs:
        app:
            dirs: [%kernel.root_dir%, %kernel.root_dir%/../src]
            output_dir: %kernel.root_dir%/Resources/translations
            ignored_domains: [routes]
            excluded_names: ["*TestCase.php", "*Test.php", "*.php"]
            excluded_dirs: [cache, data, logs]

For example:

jms_translation:
    source_language: "es_ES"

output:

<file date="2016-06-11T06:53:19Z" source-language="es_ES" target-language="it_IT" datatype="plaintext" original="not.available">

and

jms_translation:
    source_language: "de_DE"

output:

<file date="2016-06-11T06:53:19Z" source-language="de_DE" target-language="it_IT" datatype="plaintext" original="not.available">
