Cache Locale

Provides a framework overriding the locale() function thereby enabling various ways of caching translations.

Requires a core patch, which is bundled with the module. The patch allows for override of the locale() function.

A couple of translation cache handlers are bundled with the module.

Installation

Apply the core patch, and enable the module.

Configuration

Example:

  // Use the Cache Locale as cache handler for translations.
  $conf['custom_locale'] = 'CacheLocale';

  // CacheLocale's default settings.
  $conf['cache_locale_class'] = 'CacheLocaleCore';
  $conf['cache_locale_bin'] = 'cache_locale';
  $conf['cache_locale_expire'] = 0;
  $conf['locale_cache_length'] = 75;

Configuration explained

Use the custom cache class that comes with the Cache Locale module.

  $conf['custom_locale'] = 'CacheLocale';

The CacheLocale class uses a DrupalCacheArray based class for
handling cache hits/misses. There a four handlers bundled with the Cache Locale
module.

  // Use the CacheLocaleCore.
  $conf['cache_locale_class'] = 'CacheLocaleCore';

  // Use the bin: cache_locale.
  $conf['cache_locale_bin'] = 'cache_locale';

  // Expire translations after 24 hours.
  $conf['cache_locale_expire'] = 3600;

  // Cache all translations having source text less the 50 characters long into one
  // cache entry.
  $conf['locale_cache_length'] = 50;

Development

Create either your own locale class that implements LocaleInterface and set $conf['custom_locale'] to this class, or create a new class for the CacheLocale class to handle cache translations (see the source code for the bundled cache handlers under handlers/*.inc).
