[SOLVED] Multiple languages using HTML5 data attribute

Multiple languages using HTML5 data attribute

I have seen many ways to add multiple languages, I found one I like more than the others. Using HTML5 data-{string} they have added data-translate="USER_PROFILE"

Then they use a .json file like this:

{
    "PAGES": "Pages",
    "LOGIN": "Login",
    "LOG_OUT": "Logout",
    "SIGN_IN": "Sign In",
    "SIGN_UP": "Sign Up",
    "USER_PROFILE": "User Profile"
}

How to make that in PHP (database instead of .json) and HTML5 when using the data-something

I just think it will be easier to add new languages if it runs on the database, or are I'm wrong? What will be the best way??

Solution

The concept of multi language translation is called i18n. You will have to use some library for the same as implementing the whole part is a huge and daunting task. Here is something to get you started

You will still have to create language files for the ones you need to support.
