How to use the translator service inside an Entity?

Question

Let\'s say I have a User Entity :

$user = new User(007);
echo $user->getName(); // display Bond
echo $user->getGender(); // display \"Male         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the similar problem and finally found this solution. This is not a direct answer to your problem because I'm also aware that an entity should have nothing to do with a service, like translator. So you should leave the getDesignation function untouched. Instead, in the presentation layer, twig for example, you translate that French designation.

{% trans %}{{ entity.designation }}{% endtrans %} {{ entity.name }}

And in your messages.en.yml

Monsieur: Mr.
Madame: Mrs.
