Dear fellows,

I have difficulties using or understanding Zend_Translate. Imagine the following code:

try {
Zend_Registry::get('translation');
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
$translate = new Zend_Translate('csv', '../translation/english.csv', 'en');
$translate->addTranslation('../translation/german.csv', 'de');
$translate->addTranslation('../translation/english_US.csv', 'en_US');
Zend_Registry::set('translation', $translate);
}
....
$translate = Zend_Registry::get('translation');

then I would expect that $translate->isAvailable('xx') to be false. but it is true. so how can I check whether a translation for the desired language is here or not?

any help highly appreciated

I'm not sure what was wrong before, but now this code works perfectly for me:

$locale = new Zend_Locale();
$translate = new Zend_Translate('csv', '../translation/english.csv', 'en');
$translate->addTranslation('../translation/german.csv', 'de');
$translate->addTranslation('../translation/english_US.csv', 'en_US');
if (! $translate->isAvailable($locale->getLanguage())) {
$translate->setLocale('en');
} else {
$translate->setLocale('auto');
}

Zend_Translate is now picking the right languages according to browser preferences and sticking to 'en' if an unknown or untranslated language is requested.
