Description 

Author

This package can translate texts extracted from code into INI files.

It provides classes that can parse PHP code and extract text strings to be translated by detecting calls to the function altext().

The extracted texts are stored in .INI files that can be loaded by the application scripts to get the localized texts into different idioms.

The altext() function is similar to the PHP gettext() function. It uses text defined in an INI file with translations for the texts and returns the respective translated text using an hash of the requested text.

There is also a class that can merge existing translations with new ones extracted from more up to date source code.

/**
         * The translation is done by {@link altext()} function. If you want to use another name function, keep in mind that "altext" is used by the parser to search for messages to translate.
If you want to change the function name (for gettext, for example), also change the {@link altext.php} files and {@link altext.parser.php}.
In {@link altext.php}, just change the name of the function.
In {@link altext.parser.php} file, change the line <code>preg_match_all ("/altext\(\'(.*)\'\)/", $data, $matches)</code> exchanging "altext" with the name of the desired function. This will make the parser search for the new function name and not by "altext".
