Send mail subscription in the user language in a component

Question

I'am developping a discussion forum component, in this i need for user subscription when answer is added in a topic by sending a mail to the user language configured in his profile parameters. The language set by user in his profile is different than the language configured by default for the entire site.

By example the Joomla! default language is english, if the user has defined his language on italian, i need to parse the mail in order to use italian.

After that i'am done that i can send the mail.

Do-you have an idea to parse the mail to use the language defined by user ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Here is a general idea.

You need to maintain a table which holds the templates for the emails you need to send and additionally to store the language name as well:

type         email_text     lang
-------------------------------
register    Hello world!    en-GB
register    Ciao mondo      it-IT

Detect user language.

$user = JFactory::getUser();
$language = $user->getParam('language', 'en-GB');

Send the email

• Do a query in your email templates to identify the one needed based on user language and the type of the email you want to send.
• Send the email using JMail.
