◆ digitGroupingPattern()

Language::digitGroupingPattern ( )

Returns: string

Definition at line 3426 of file Language.php.

◆ digitTransformTable()

Language::digitTransformTable ( )

Returns: string[]

Definition at line 3433 of file Language.php.

◆ embedBidi()

Language::embedBidi ( $text = '' )

Wraps argument with unicode control characters for directionality safety.

This solves the problem where directionality-neutral characters at the edge of the argument string get interpreted with the wrong directionality from the enclosing context, giving renderings that look corrupted like "(Ben_(WMF".

The wrapping is LRE...PDF or RLE...PDF, depending on the detected directionality of the argument string, using the BIDI algorithm's own "First strong directional codepoint" rule. Essentially, this works round the fact that there is no embedding equivalent of U+2068 FSI (isolation with heuristic direction inference). The latter is cleaner but still not widely supported.

Parameters

string $text Text to wrap

Returns: string Text, wrapped in LRE...PDF or RLE...PDF or nothing

Definition at line 4066 of file Language.php.

◆ emphasize()

Language::emphasize ( $text )

Italic is unsuitable for some languages.

Parameters

string $text The text to be emphasized.

Get a cached or new language object for a given language code.

If the language code comes from user input, check ::isValidCode() before calling this method.

See $separatorTransformTable on MessageIs.php for the , => . and . => , implementation.

Parameters

string \| int \| float	$number	Expected to be a pre-formatted (e.g. leading zeros, number of decimal places) numeric string. Any non-string will be cast to string.

◆ sprintfDate()

Language::sprintfDate	(		$format,
			$ts,
		DateTimeZone	$zone = `null`,
		&	$ttl = `'unused'`
	)

This is a workalike of PHP's date() function, but with better internationalisation, a reduced set of format characters, and a better escaping format.

Supported format characters are dDjlNwzWFmMntLoYyaAgGhHiscrUeIOPTZ. See the PHP manual for definitions. There are a number of extensions, which start with "x":

xn Do not translate digits of the next numeric format character xN Toggle raw digit (xn) flag, stays set until explicitly unset xr Use roman numerals for the next numeric format character xh Use hebrew numerals for the next numeric format character xx Literal x xg Genitive month name

xij j (day number) in Iranian calendar xiF F (month name) in Iranian calendar xin n (month number) in Iranian calendar xiy y (two digit year) in Iranian calendar xiY Y (full year) in Iranian calendar xit t (days in month) in Iranian calendar xiz z (day of the year) in Iranian calendar

xjj j (day number) in Hebrew calendar xjF F (month name) in Hebrew calendar xjt t (days in month) in Hebrew calendar xjx xg (genitive month name) in Hebrew calendar xjn n (month number) in Hebrew calendar xjY Y (full year) in Hebrew calendar

xmj j (day number) in Hijri calendar xmF F (month name) in Hijri calendar xmn n (month number) in Hijri calendar xmY Y (full year) in Hijri calendar

xkY Y (full year) in Thai solar calendar. Months and days are identical to the Gregorian calendar xoY Y (full year) in Minguo calendar or Juche year. Months and days are identical to the Gregorian calendar xtY Y (full year) in Japanese nengo. Months and days are identical to the Gregorian calendar

Characters enclosed in double quotes will be considered literal (with the quotes themselves removed). Unmatched quotes will be considered literal quotes. Example:

"The month is" F => The month is January i's" => 20'11"

Backslash escaping is also supported.

Input timestamp is assumed to be pre-normalized to the desired local time zone, if any. Note that the format characters crUeIOPTZ will assume $ts is UTC if $zone is not given.

Parameters

string	$format
string	$ts	14-character timestamp YYYYMMDDHHMMSS 01234567890123
DateTimeZone \| null	$zone	Timezone of $ts
int \| null	&$ttl	The amount of time (in seconds) the output may be cached for. Only makes sense if $ts is the current time.

◆ translateBlockExpiry()

Language::translateBlockExpiry	(		$str,
		UserIdentity	$user = `null`,
			$now = `0`
	)

Todo:: Maybe translate block durations.

Note that this function is somewhat misnamed: it deals with translating the duration ("1 week", "4 days", etc), not the expiry time (which is an absolute timestamp). Please note: do NOT add this blindly, as it is used on old expiry lengths recorded in log entries. You'd need to provide the start date to match up with it.

Parameters

string	$str	The validated block duration in English
UserIdentity \| null	$user	User to use timezone from or null for the context user
int	$now	Current timestamp, for formatting relative block durations

Returns: string Somehow translated block duration

◆ truncateForDatabase()

Language::truncateForDatabase	(	$string,

	)

Truncate a string to a specified length in bytes, appending an optional string (e.g.

for ellipsis)

If $length is negative, the string will be truncated from the beginning

Since: 1.31

Parameters

string	$string	String to truncate
int	$length	Maximum length in bytes
string	$ellipsis	String to append to the end of truncated text
bool	$adjustLength	Subtract length of ellipsis from $length

Returns: string

◆ truncateForVisual()

Language::truncateForVisual	(	$string,
		$length,
		$ellipsis = `'...'`,
		$adjustLength = `true`
	)

Truncate a string to a specified number of characters, appending an optional string (e.g.

for ellipsis).

This provides multibyte version of truncateForDatabase() method of this class, suitable for truncation based on number of characters, instead of number of bytes.

The input should be a raw UTF-8 string and NOT be HTML escaped. It is not safe to truncate HTML-escaped strings, because the entity can be truncated! Use ::truncateHtml() if you need a specific number of HTML-encoded bytes, or ::truncateForDatabase() if you need a specific number of PHP bytes.

If $length is negative, the string will be truncated from the beginning.

Since: 1.31

Parameters

string	$string	String to truncate
int	$length	Maximum number of characters
string	$ellipsis	String to append to the end of truncated text
bool	$adjustLength	Subtract length of ellipsis from $length

Returns: string

Note: since 1.18 you do not need to leave extra room in $length for ellipses.

Parameters
