Hello,

i set various language-headlines with "is then":

[[++cultureKey:is=`de`:then=`Ihre Ansprechpartner`:else=``]]
[[++cultureKey:is=`en`:then=`Contact persons`:else=``]]
[[++cultureKey:is=`es`:then=`Contacto`:else=``]]
[[++cultureKey:is=`ru`:then=`Kонтактные лица`:else=``]]

Question: how is possible to set the example in one line and reduced?

This question has been answered by multiple community members. See the first response.

You could write a php snippet that will act as a switch case but that would only be suited really for this line of text. It looks as though you're making a multilingual site? You may want to look into migxmultilang or just using a htaccess file to forward your visitors onto the correct context for their language.

Thanks for answer,

yes that is a multilingual site. I using the Babel-Tool and all the context (and htaccess) works fine. I just try to minimize codes and im php-newby..

A snippet called Contacts should do it:

[[!Contacts]]

/* Contacts snippet */
$cultureKey = $modx->getOption('cultureKey');

$messages = array(
    `de` =>`Ihre Ansprechpartner`,
    `en` => `Contact persons`,
    `es` => `Contacto`,
    `ru`:then=`Kонтактные лица`,
);

return isset($messages[$cultureKey]? $messages[$cultureKey] : '';

Another way to go, if you already have those languages in the core namespace, would be to create 4 new entries, one for each language, in the core namespace and create a lexicon entry for message with the key 'contacts' in the default topic. If you don't have those languages, you could add them.

Then, on your page, use this tag:

[[!%contacts? &namespace=`core` &language=`[[++cultureKey]]` &topic=`default` ]]

This second method might be a little slower, but it would allow you to create other language-specific messages without creating a custom snippet for each one.

    "en" => "Contact persons",
    "es" => "Contacto",
    "ru":then="Kонтактные лица",
);
 
return isset($messages[$cultureKey]? $messages[$cultureKey] : "";

why not using the MODX - lexicon for translations like that?

your line should have been:

return isset($messages[$cultureKey])? $messages[$cultureKey] : "";
