Welcome to The Cookbook

There is no translation yet for this section. Please help out and translate this.. More information about translations

If you want to have all translation records attached to the current model record you simply extend the field array in your behavior setup as shown below. The naming is completely up to you.

<?php
class Post extends AppModel {
	var $name = 'Post';
	var $actsAs = array(
		'Translate' => array(
			'name' => 'nameTranslation'
		)
	);
}
?>

1. <?php
2. class Post extends AppModel {
3. var $name = 'Post';
4. var $actsAs = array(
5. 'Translate' => array(
6. 'name' => 'nameTranslation'
7. )
8. );
9. }
10. ?>

With this setup the result of $this->Post->find() should look something like this:

Array
(
     [Post] => Array
         (
             [id] => 1
             [name] => Beispiel Eintrag 
             [body] => lorem ipsum...
             [locale] => de_de
         )

     [nameTranslation] => Array
         (
             [0] => Array
                 (
                     [id] => 1
                     [locale] => en_us
                     [model] => Post
                     [foreign_key] => 1
                     [field] => name
                     [content] => Example entry
                 )

             [1] => Array
                 (
                     [id] => 2
                     [locale] => de_de
                     [model] => Post
                     [foreign_key] => 1
                     [field] => name
                     [content] => Beispiel Eintrag
                 )

         )
)

1. Array
2. (
3. [Post] => Array
4. (
5. [id] => 1
6. [name] => Beispiel Eintrag
7. [body] => lorem ipsum...
8. [locale] => de_de
9. )
10. [nameTranslation] => Array
11. (
12. [0] => Array
13. (
14. [id] => 1
15. [locale] => en_us
16. [model] => Post
17. [foreign_key] => 1
18. [field] => name
19. [content] => Example entry
20. )
21. [1] => Array
22. (
23. [id] => 2
24. [locale] => de_de
25. [model] => Post
26. [foreign_key] => 1
27. [field] => name
28. [content] => Beispiel Eintrag
29. )
30. )
31. )

Note: The model record contains a virtual field called "locale". It indicates which locale is used in this result.

Note that only fields of the model you are directly doing `find` on will be translated. Models attached via associations won't be translated because triggering callbacks on associated models is currently not supported.
