Cannot translate certain words using AgaviSimpleTranslator

[christian.krupa@…]

it is not possible to translate the word "on" or "off". the translationmanager translate the words to "1" and "". here is an example:

translation.xml:

...
                    <message_translator class="AgaviSimpleTranslator">
                        <parameter name="">
                            <parameter name="de">
...
<parameter name="on">Am</parameter><!-- works -->
...
                            </parameter>
                            <parameter name="en">

<parameter name="on_">on</parameter> <!-- print "1" in frontend -->
<parameter name="on"><![CDATA[&#79;&#110;]]></parameter> <!-- print "on" in frontend -->
...

[felix]

"on", "yes", "true" are literalized to (bool)true

"off", "no", "false" are literalized to (bool)false

in all configs.

See  http://trac.agavi.org/ticket/1005 for a detailed explanation.

This is expected behavior. AgaviSimpleTranslator is, as the name implies, simple in its nature and uses embedded configuration parameters for translation. Those are by design intended for configuration use and thus are cast to certain boolean values during compilation as explained above by Felix; the AgaviSimpleTranslator class or the AgaviTranslationManager have no control over this.

Please use AgaviGettextTranslator or a custom translator implementation. Translating such values with AgaviSimpleTranslator will be possible once #1005 is implemented.
