Locales

To add a new locale to your store you have to assign it to a channel.

To support multiple languages we are using Locales in Sylius. Locales are language codes standardized by ISO 15897.

In the dev environment, you can easily check the locale you are currently using in the Symfony debug toolbar.

Base Locale

During the installation, you provided a default base locale. This is the language in which everything in your system will be saved in the database - all the product names, texts on the website, e-mails, etc.

Locale Context

To manage the currently used language, we use the LocaleContext. You can always access it with the ID sylius.context.locale in the container.

public function fooAction()
{
    $locale = $this->get('sylius.context.locale')->getLocaleCode();
}

The locale context can be injected into any of your services and give you access to the currently used locale.

Available Locales Provider

The Locale Provider service (sylius.locale_provider) is responsible for returning all languages available for the current user. By default, returns all configured locales. You can easily modify this logic by overriding this service.

public function fooAction()
{
    $locales = $this->get('sylius.locale_provider')->getAvailableLocalesCodes();

    foreach ($locales as $locale) {
        echo $locale;
    }
}

To get all languages configured in the store, regardless of your availability logic, use the locales repository:

$locales = $this->get('sylius.repository.locale')->findAll();
