Cakephp 3 - How to find using the find query an entity by its translation

Question

I have a "Pages" model with a Translate behavior. And I want to search a page matching in another language with CakePHP 3.x.

class PagesTable extends Table
{
    public function initialize(array $config)
    {

        $this->addBehavior('Translate', ['fields' => ['title', 'slug']]);
    }
 }

I have set the i18n locale in my controller before searching like so:

class PagesController extends AppController 
{

    /**
     * View method
     */
     public function view( $slug = '' )
     {
         I18n::locale('nl_NL');
         $this->Pages->findBySlug("foobar-in-nl")->first();
     }
 }

But sadly I won't get the record I want to. Is there a way to achieve this?

Answer 1

I think findBySlug() function cannot be work with this situation, because in your pages table you don`t have that field.

You should do it like this way:

public function view( $slug = '' )
     {
         I18n::locale('nl_NL');
         $this->Pages->find()
               ->where( ['Pages_slug_translation.content' => $slug] )
               ->firstOrFail();
     }
