Requirements

• Kirby 5+
• PHP 8.2+

Installation

composer require grommasdietz/kirby-locale

Tip

If you don’t use Composer, you can download this repository and copy it to site/plugins/kirby-locale.

Quickstart

Writer mark

Enable the locale mark on any Writer field by adding it to the field’s marks list:

fields:
  text:
    type: writer
    marks:
      - locale

The Writer displays the locale mark in the toolbar and highlights tagged segments. Selections get wrapped in <span lang="…">.

Title locales

Activate the title locale selector via grommasdietz.locale.intendedTemplate in site/config/config.php. For a single template:

return [
    'grommasdietz.locale.intendedTemplate' => 'project',
];

For multiple templates:

return [
    'grommasdietz.locale.intendedTemplate' => [
        'project',
        'note',
    ],
];

After configuration, Kirby's create and rename dialogs show the locale dropdown and save the choice as title_locale. Retrieve it in templates with $page->title_locale().

Options

Configure via site/config/config.php:

return [
    // Custom locales
    'grommasdietz.locale.locales' => [
        ['code' => 'en-GB', 'name' => 'English, United Kingdom'],
        ['code' => 'en-US', 'name' => 'English, United States'],
    ],

    // Optional: disable the ISO fallback catalog
    // 'grommasdietz.locale.catalog' => false,
];
