//view_ I think that my input request must be variable
{% for i in listLanguages %}
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-3">Titre </label>
<div class="col-md-4">
<input type="text" name="pack_2lng_wording" data-required="1" class="form-control" value="{% if packLanguage.pack2lngWording is defined%}{{packLanguage.pack2lngWording}} {%endif%}"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-md-3">Description </label>
<textarea cols="60" rows="5" class="span4" name="pack_2lng_description">
{% if packLanguage.pack2lngDescription is defined%}{{packLanguage.pack2lngDescription}} {%endif%}</textarea>
</div>
{%endfor%}

Answer 1

Let's say the users enters a French and English translation. With your current view, the post request would be this:
pack_2lng_wording=foo_FR
pack_2lng_description=bar_FR
pack_2lng_wording=foo_EN
pack_2lng_description=bar_EN
That won't work, because the first pack_2lng_wording would be overridden by the second.
To prevent it, you have to add [] to your name attribute of an input:
<input type="text" name="pack_2lng_wording[]" />
Or add {{ i.code }} to get a associative array (assuming that each Language has a language code, i.e. a ISO 639-1 code) :
<input type="text" name="pack_2lng_wording['{{ i.code }}']" />
That would lead to this post request:
pack_2lng_wording[FR]=foo_FR
pack_2lng_wording[EN]=foo_EN
pack_2lng_description[FR]=bar_FR
pack_2lng_description[EN]=bar_EN
In your controller you have to add [$language]:
foreach ($listLanguages as $language) {
$packLanguage = new Packs2lng();
$packLanguage->setLanguage($language);
$packLanguage->setPack($pack);
$packLanguage->setPack2lngWording($request->request->get('pack_2lng_wording')[$language->getCode()]);
$packLanguage->setPack2lngDescription($request->request->get('pack_2lng_description')[$language->getCode()]);
}
BTW: I would highly recommend to use Symfony Forms. You are now reinventing the wheel. That's OK if you want to learn, but it will make your life easier (and your application) better if you are using components that are well documented, well maintained, etc.
