How can web developers translate PHP language files without compromising the array structure?
Core Issue Diagnosis
“PHP language packs are typically represented as associative arrays (for example, `'welcome' => 'Hello World'`). Direct translation can easily disrupt the `=>` symbol or result in incorrect translation of array key names (Key).”
Root Cause Analysis
AST Syntax Tree Parsing
The system does not treat PHP files as plain text; instead, it parses their syntax trees. It strictly locks array keys and PHP syntax symbols (`;`, `=>`, `[]`), precisely identifying and translating only the string values.
Handling Mixed HTML Content
For HTML tags embedded within PHP strings (such as `'error' => '<b>Error!</b>'`), the system can recognize and preserve the tag structure, translating only the text within the tags.
Final Solution Summary
No manual extraction is required—simply upload the .php file to generate a deployable multilingual version.
