Yii2 Multi Language extension

This extension allows you to do multi-language sites on yii2. Instead, an informal specification uses the article "Multi-regional and multilingual sites" (Google).

Note: extension is under development.

Эта инструкция доступна на русском языке.

Features

• Supports an unlimited number of languages.
• Page language inserted into the link as a directory.
• Correct work with the settings yii\web\UrlManager: enablePrettyUrl and showScriptName.
• Site works correctly in subdirectories (eg, http://example.com/sub/directory/frontend/web/ru/site/login).
• The ability to select the language in the cookie. In this case, the script will make a redirect.
• Redirects just for GET-requests. POST, Ajax XHR will work correctly.
• There is helper to change the language (it is easy to use links or bootstrap dropdown).
• CRUD-actions to quickly develop the admin modules.
• Support of <link rel="alternate" ... (TODO: make help).

Examples of links

• http://example.com/en/
• http://example.com/ru/
• http://example.com/en/site/login
• http://example.com/ru/site/login

This type of links with the settings enablePrettyUrl = true; showScriptName = false. Examples of other settings yii\web\UrlManager can be found here (TODO: make help).
