I have heard that PHP6 will natively support unicode, which will hopefully make multi-language support much easier. However, PHP5 has pretty weak support for unicode and multi-language (i.e. just a bunch of specialized string functions).
我听说过PHP6本身会支持unicode,希望能够更轻松地支持多语言。但是,PHP5对unicode和多语言(即只是一堆专门的字符串函数)的支持非常弱。
I was wondering what are your strategies to enable unicode and multi-languaage support in your PHP5 applications?
我想知道你在PHP5应用程序中启用unicode和多语言支持的策略是什么?
Also, how do you store translations since PHP5 doesn't have WebResource file like ASP.NET does?
另外,你如何存储翻译,因为PHP5没有像ASP.NET这样的WebResource文件呢?

It's not all that hard really, but you may want to make your question a bit more specific.
这真的不是那么难,但你可能想让你的问题更具体一些。
If you're talking to a database, make sure your database stores data in UTF-8 and the connection to your database is in UTF-8 (a common pitfall). Make sure to run this when establishing a connection:
如果您正在与数据库通信,请确保您的数据库以UTF-8存储数据,并且与数据库的连接是UTF-8(一个常见的陷阱)。确保在建立连接时运行此命令:
mysql_set_charset('utf8');
For user input, set the accept-charset attribute on your forms.
对于用户输入,请在表单上设置accept-charset属性。
<form accept-charset="utf-8">
Serve your sites with an appropriate HTTP header:
使用适当的HTTP标头为您的网站提供服务:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
or at least set appropriate meta tags for your site:
或者至少为您的网站设置适当的元标记:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Keep your source code files encoded in UTF-8.
保持源代码文件以UTF-8编码。
If you keep everything in UTF-8, you usually don't need to worry about anything. It's only getting problematic once you start mixing encodings throughout your app.
如果你把所有东西都保存在UTF-8中,你通常不需要担心任何事情。一旦你开始在整个应用程序中混合编码,它就会出现问题。
If you're starting to talk about string manipulation of course, you'll have to take a little more care. Mostly you'll want to use the mb_ set of string functions, as you pointed out yourself.
如果你开始谈论字符串操作当然,你将不得不采取更多的关注。大多数情况下,你会想要使用mb_字符串函数集,正如你自己指出的那样。

Well for app development in PHP I use CodeIgniter which takes care of handling multiple language files. It's very powerful and easy to use.
对于PHP中的应用程序开发,我使用CodeIgniter来处理多个语言文件。它非常强大且易于使用。

For translations, you can either use a framework, or just roll your own library. You can store translations in csv files and use PHP's fgetcsv() to parse it. CSV files can be edited with any spreadsheet app.
对于翻译,您可以使用框架,也可以只滚动自己的库。您可以将翻译存储在csv文件中,并使用PHP的fgetcsv()来解析它。可以使用任何电子表格应用编辑CSV文件。
For an example, you can look at the code of Zend_Translate (part of Zend Framework). It's easy to follow along.
例如,您可以查看Zend_Translate(Zend Framework的一部分)的代码。它很容易跟随。

Related to usage of mb_* set of functions, at the same time of maintaining compatibility, see the mb_string.overload php.ini directive.
与使用mb_ *函数集相关,在保持兼容性的同时,请参阅mb_string.overload php.ini指令。
It will allow you to use the regular string functions which have been overloaded by the multi-byte enabled ones.
它允许您使用已启用多字节的常规字符串函数。
