您对非结构化 html 内容的多语言数据库模型有何想法？

Question

i code a small very specific cms in php/mysql/jquery right now. the project have to be in german+english - so store these informations in separate fields : title_de, title_en ..., category_de, category_en and so on. pretty easy.

now there will be some fields for html content where i have to store a combination of unordered image + text combinations. i do it like this right now :

<img>text<img><img>text<img><img>text<img>text<div>otherstuff</div>text<img>

so pretty random html elements no structure ...

so a user will have to copy this structure after creating it to another text-area for another language and translate it.

i dont like the idea to store the "structure" and the "double parts eg the images" twice . this would work for 2 languages - but what if its 10 languages.

is there an logic and easy way to separate the structure and how would you model that in a database ?

Answer 1

I think what your looking for is called as internationalisation and localisation.

For that you may not create any new column or any other tables in database. Even you can handle with language file. Since you told that yours is small project it will work fine.

You should really use any good library like https://github.com/Philipp15b/php-i18n which is having good attention in git hub.

Even I have a solution of using basic one.

NOTE : Since I wont be using any caching technique to save the languages there may be performance issues. Please note I will recommend using any good library. Mine is just an idea for the sake of implementation. You can enhance based on it.

en.php

$language = array(
    'Hello' => 'Hello!',
    'HtmlText' => '<h1> HTML </h1>'
);

fr.php

$language = array(
    'Hello' => 'Bonjor'
    'HtmlText' => '<h1> HTML </h1>'
);

In your page now you can implement the following way

Eg:

Advice : Make sure you handle your HTML encoding while displaying.

/* Validate whether $_GET['lang'] is set or not. 
Whether your havig any language of that specif or not
Then use the following way to implement
 */

URL : http://127.0.0.1/project/?lang=en

include_once $_GET['lang'].'php'

echo $language['Hello']; //Irrespective which ever language you use it will load
