Documentation

Simply install the module using the standard method.

Now you can create datafield with translatable enum Field:

class MyDataObject extends DataObject {
	public static $db = array(
		'DbField' => "i18nEnum('default, other', 'default')",
	);
}

To get translated Enum value in GridField, you need to return the value in this way:

class MyDataObject extends DataObject {
	...
	public function DbField() {
		return i18nEnum::getTranslatedValue($this->className, __FUNCTION__, $this->{__FUNCTION__});
	}
}

By default translation namespace will be your DataObject class name and the entity will be constructed like this: "db_{DbField}_{enum value}".
So your translation file should look like this:

lang:
  MyDataObject:
    db_DbField_default: 'Default'
    db_DbField_other: 'Other'

Known issues

• GridField filtering in GridFieldFilterHeader won't work as expected - it still constructs the search filter using enum values only.
