I want to create a custom cakePhp function for translations.
My translations are stored in a database table.
What I would like to do is to get the translations from the database and put them in a PHP array at bootstrap. I would also like to define a global function __t() that acts like __() but fetches the translation from my custom php array instead of po files.
I have defined my __t function in Config/bootsrap.php, but how can I access the database from Config/bootstrap.php to load the data into the array?
You need to use App::uses() to register classes you need and then instantiate the model:
App::uses('ClassRegistry', 'Utility');
$translationData = ClassRegistry::init('Modelname')->getTranslations();
