Translating php files

Question

Hello, 
 Can you advise how I could translate php files such as this one in such a way that Trados deals with the tags and that I get on and translate only the text such as 'Erreur de cl&eacute; API'. 
 Many thanks, in advance 
 <?php 
 $lang['api_key_error'] = 'Erreur de cl&eacute; API'; $lang['api_key_error_p'] = 'Erreur de cl&eacute; API : %s'; $lang['api_method_error'] = 'Erreur de m&eacute;thode'; $lang['api_unknown'] = 'Erreur de m&eacute;thode'; $lang['api_compute_error'] = 'Erreur de calcul de produit'; $lang['api_typelivraison_error'] = 'Erreur de type de livraison'; $lang['api_adresselivraison_error'] = 'Erreur d\'adresse de livraison'; $lang['api_redirect_unknown'] = 'Erreur, redirection inconnue'; $lang['api_input_error'] = 'Input error : %s';

Probably easiest way is to handle a file like this as a regex filetype. There's a really old post here that will be helpful:

Based on your sample this would work: 
 
Opening: 
.*= ' 
 
Closing 
';$

Don't worry... this just hides them it doesn't remove them. The target file will be perfect!

Hello Michael, 
 
Try this: 
 
Opening pattern: 
§§§.+?=\s'|^.+ 
 
Closing pattern: 
'$ 
 
Strictly speaking it's incorrect, but seems to be effective due to Studio separating the strings. So I took advantage of that and applied a little economy of accuracy!

 If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a way to have a single quote in the php string. The answer is that you have to escape the single quote. The simple way would be to write \' instead of ', or to instruct Studio to do so. ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6269188/how-do-i-escape-only-single-quotes ) 
 However, one of the participants of the source mentioned this: 
 
 Replacing with &#039; should work. I don't think you can make Studio do this for you, you would have to do this with some kind of regex search and replace in Notepad++ or similar. 
 The HTML file types offer entity conversion, which is what you are looking for. Unfortunately, the HTML file types don't allow for regex to identify the translatable text. 
 You can make it work, but it depends a bit on how your actual source file looks: 
 
 It will initially look like this: 
 
 Then you can change the non-translatable text into tags using the data protection suite: 
 
 Nota bene that the MT results were odd and the tags were not generated correctly, I don't know why and don't have time to figure out, unfortunately. 
 You set in character conversion that you want the apostrophe character to be encoded as numeric unicode. The, after translation, you unprotect your files and generate target translations. The output looked like this for me: 
 
 Quite convoluted, but possible. 
 I would treat it as text file and post-process it, as stated above.
