Translation in module/template not working

Thursday 13 January 2011 5:10:57 am

Hi,

i have a module which should output translated messages. The site is set up to have two languages and it works for content pages, but in the module i cannot get the translation working, it always puts out the default string.

Here is my siteconfig site.ini.append from the translated language:

[SiteSettings]
SiteURL=localhost/eng
[RegionalSettings]
Locale=eng-GB
ContentObjectLocale=eng-GB
ShowUntranslatedObjects=disabled
SiteLanguageList[]
SiteLanguageList[]=eng-GB
SiteLanguageList[]=ger-DE
TextTranslation=enabled

I used ezlupdate to generate the xml file which is placed in /extendsions/modulename/translations/eng-GB and translated to the english language.

In the templates i work with:

{"Germantext"|i18n('some/category')}

but if i switch to the english language, still the german texts are displayed.

cache is cleared, autoload rebuilt

Do i have to tell Exponential somehow which modules are translated in which language, so it reads the language files?

Please note that even if you set TextTranslation=enabled, afaik the eng-GB templates will not be translated; This means you are

- forced to write templates in english

- forced to use some other english variation (eg. US) if you want to have translation active for english
