Action uncanny-automator

automator_localized_string_after

Fires after a string has been localized, allowing for its modification.

add_action( 'automator_localized_string_after', $callback, 10, 1 );

Description

Fires after all localized strings have been loaded and initialized for the Automator. Developers can use this hook to perform actions that require access to these translated strings, such as logging, custom output, or further string manipulation. It's a late-stage hook for string-related tasks.


Usage

add_action( 'automator_localized_string_after', 'your_function_name', 10, 1 );

Examples

<?php
/**
 * Example of how to use the 'automator_localized_string_after' action hook.
 * This example demonstrates adding custom localization strings to the Automator plugin.
 *
 * @param void
 */
add_action( 'automator_localized_string_after', 'my_custom_automator_localization' );

function my_custom_automator_localization() {
	// Access the global $automator_translations object if needed,
	// though the hook itself doesn't pass arguments, and typically
	// you'd add your own strings to a separate array and then hook
	// into the filter that actually *uses* these strings.
	// For demonstration, let's assume we want to add a new string.

	// In a real scenario, you would likely have a dedicated class or function
	// to manage your plugin's translations.
	// For instance, imagine you have a global array or a class property
	// where you store these additional strings.

	// For the purpose of this example, we'll simulate adding a string.
	// The 'automator_localized_string_after' hook fires *after* the core
	// localization strings are loaded. If you want to *add* strings that
	// the Automator plugin itself will use, you would typically need to
	// hook into a filter that modifies the array of strings that the plugin uses.
	// This hook is more for performing actions *after* localization has happened.

	// However, if the intention is to trigger some logic that *uses* localized strings,
	// this is the place.

	// Let's pretend we have some custom meta field keys that need to be translated
	// and we want to ensure they are available.
	$custom_meta_keys_to_translate = array(
		'my_plugin_custom_field_label' => __( 'My Custom Field Label', 'my-text-domain' ),
		'my_plugin_another_setting_name' => __( 'Another Setting Name', 'my-text-domain' ),
	);

	// In a real application, you might store these strings in a transient,
	// a database option, or directly add them to the plugin's localization array
	// if there was a filter for that purpose.
	// Since this hook doesn't pass arguments, and it's an 'action' hook,
	// you can't directly return modified localized strings.
	// The typical use case here would be to perform side effects or trigger
	// other processes that rely on the plugin's localization being ready.

	// Example: Logging that localization has finished and we're about to do something.
	error_log( 'Automator localization strings have been loaded. Performing custom actions now.' );

	// If you wanted to add these custom strings to be used by the Automator plugin itself,
	// you would need to find a filter hook provided by the plugin that allows modification
	// of its localization array. The `automator_localized_string_after` hook is
	// primarily for running code *after* the localization is done, not for modifying it directly.

	// For instance, if the Automator plugin had a filter like:
	// apply_filters( 'automator_get_localized_strings', $this->ls );
	// You would then hook into that filter to add your strings.

	// As this is an action hook with no parameters, the most realistic usage is to trigger
	// other logic or perform side effects after the core localization is complete.
}

Placement

This code should be placed in the functions.php file of your active theme, a custom plugin, or using a code snippets plugin.
