Symfony2 determines locale based on domain name
I want to set up a new site with two locales and the locale needs to be discovered using the domain name in use. Any idea how to do this?
for example locales: nl and fr
when www.somenldomainname.be is used then the nl locale should be detected
when www.somefrdomainname.be is used then the fr locale should be detected
also it would be great if i create a url in nl or fr to select the correct domain name.

You can create an event listener to determine your domain name:
class LocaleListener implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
/**
* Set default locale
*
* @param GetResponseEvent $event
*/
public function onKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
{
$request = $event->getRequest();
if (!$request->hasPreviousSession()) {
return;
}
// get domain name
$host = $request->getHttpHost();
// or $host = $request->getHost();
$locale = 'en';
if ($host == 'domain1') {
$locale = 'fr';
}
$request->setLocale($locale);
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
static public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return array(
// must be registered before the default Locale listener
KernelEvents::REQUEST => array(array('onKernelRequest', 17)),
);
}
}
And in your services.yml:
services:
my_locale_listener:
class: MyBundle\LocaleListener
tags:
- { name: kernel.event_subscriber }
You can put in the locler the default constructor locle from the parameters.yml file and if no locale is found the default for the local domain.

There is a package for that: https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSI18nRoutingBundle .
This is how you installed it in config.yml
:
jms_i18n_routing:
default_locale: nl
locales: [nl, fr]
strategy: custom
hosts:
nl: www.somenldomainname.be
fr: www.somefrdomainname.be
redirect_to_host: true
See the use case documentation for details .

JMSI18nRoutingBundle only supports symfony <= 2.1.x. A good way seems to be using Daniel Korsak's solution. Here's a more complete example of parameters.
namespace Path\ToYourBundle\Listeners;
use \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;
use \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelEvents;
use \Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface as Container;
class LocaleListener implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
protected $domainLocales;
protected $defaultLocale;
public function __construct($container,$defaultLocale)
{
$this->domainLocales = $container->getParameter('domain_locales');
$this->defaultLocale = $defaultLocale;
}
/**
* Set default locale
*
* @param GetResponseEvent $event
*/
public function onKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
{
$request = $event->getRequest();
if (!$request->hasPreviousSession()) {
return;
}
// get domain name
$host = $request->getHttpHost();
// or $host = $request->getHost();
$locale = $this->defaultLocale;
if (array_key_exists($host, $this->domainLocales))
{
$locale = $this->domainLocales[$host];
}
$request->setLocale($locale);
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
static public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return array(
// must be registered before the default Locale listener
KernelEvents::REQUEST => array(array('onKernelRequest', 17)),
);
}
}
And in your services.yml:
services:
my_locale_listener:
class: Path\ToYourBundle\Listeners\LocaleListener
tags:
- { name: kernel.event_subscriber }
arguments: [@service_container,%locale%]
parameters:
domain_locales:
domain1: en
domain2: fr
