Translating from French to English using ezwebin

Tuesday 07 August 2007 11:40:56 pm

Hello,
After going through the forum and trying the suggested solutions, I did not managed to make the translation from French language (default language) to English language using extension ezwebin

I have two siteaccess: "fr" and "en" with the following site.ini.append.php configurations

# The fr siteaccess

[RegionalSettings]
Locale=fre-FR
ContentObjectLocale=fre-FR
SiteLanguageList[]=fre-FR
TextTranslation=disabled

# The en siteaccess

[RegionalSettings]
Locale=eng-GB
SiteLanguageList[]=eng-GB
ContentObjectLocale=eng-GB
ShowUntranslatedObjects=enabled
TextTranslation=enabled

In my settings override I have the following site.ini.append.php

[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=fr
SiteList[]=fr
SiteList[]=en
SiteList[]=newsletter_editor
SiteList[]=fr_admin
...
[ExtensionSettings]
ActiveExtensions[]=ezwebin
....
[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=fr
...
[ContentSettings]
TranslationList=eng-GB

And in my ezwebin settings site.ini.append.php I have

[TemplateSettings]
ExtensionAutoloadPath[]=ezwebin

[RegionalSettings]
TranslationExtensions[]=ezwebin

I have in the ezwebin translations folder two folders eng-GB and fre-FR which contains both one translation.ts file.
The typical content of the translation.ts in eng-GB looks like this

<context>
	<name>design/ezwebin/pokute</name>
	<message>
		<source>Petit test</source>
		<translation>Small test</translation>
	</message>
</context>

In one template I use the following template code:

{"Petit test"|i18n('design/ezwebin/pokute')}

But the translation does not occur when I switch to the English site.
I have noticed that (ezini('RegionalSettings','Locale') gives the correct eng-GB locale when switching to the English.

Can someone help to find some solution please?
Thank you

David

I am having exactly the same problem translating the Webshop from German to English.

I have performed all the same steps as David but have had no success.

The Locale is being changed which I can see through the change in currency and by outputing {ezini('RegionalSettings','Locale')}

The cache files (cache/translation) are only being generated for the extensions.

I definitely do have...

TextTranslation=enabled

... in both site.ini.append.php 's

Caching is enabled as well.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can track down the problem?

Cheers,
Stephen

As stated here:
http://ez.no/developer/forum/install_configuration/how_to_add_words_to_eng_gb_language

eng-GB is default fallback language in Exponential, so no translation file is used when eng-GB is used.

You could 1: use eng-Us as your english language
or 2: put the english text in the templates and use them as the base.

I am also translating strings in the german site and it is not working here either.

[RegionalSettings]
Locale=ger-DE
ContentObjectLocale=ger-DE
SiteLanguageList[]=eng-US
SiteLanguageList[]=ger-DE
TextTranslation=enabled

[ContentSettings]
TranslationList=ger-DE

Hi!

I replace the translation file with the origional one and a lot more cache files were generated. The standard translation now work.

I verified my translation file and it is correct xml but it must be another problem with this file right?

Shouldn't there be an error message somewhere that will tell me what is wrong?

thanks,
Stephen

Did you remember to set TranslationExtensions to make Exponential know your extension contains translation files?

example (from ezwebin extension site.ini):

[RegionalSettings]
TranslationExtensions[]=ezwebin
