[yasir517]

Hello everyone.

Anyone knows how to do custom text translation within Prestashop theme in 1.7.7.1 version. I want to add some additional and want to translate it into multiple languages. Urgent help needed.

Where and how do you place the text? If it's in a description field it shoud have all language options by default. If you put it in a template file you can use {l} function.,

I want to use it in the template theme tpl file.I am using classic theme.I am writing { s=‘test… but it is not appearing in the back admin translations.

Did you try passing the d like 

{l s='Description' d='Shop.Theme.Catalog'}

 

[yasir517]

Yes I did but it is not working.

Any help will be highly appreciated. I got stuck and that's the last thing I have to do for wrapping up the project.

I found the solution. Here is what it is.

These methods only work if you are working on a theme with a name that is not “classic”. If you’re tweaking the Classic theme and you’ve kept the “/classic” folder, your new strings won’t be detected. PrestaShop is only looking for new strings in theme folders other than “/classic”.

Don't do this! Any later Prestashop upgrade will mess it up. Please check out the child-theme feature and do any theme adjustments there.

To simplify the custom features value availability in different languages , you can change the below script inside Classes/Product.php

Once you add new customized features in main language, those inputs will be available in other languages too. You will not have to copy paste everytime.

Find

-------------
public function addFeaturesCustomToDB($id_value, $lang, $cust)
    {
        $row = ['id_feature_value' => (int) $id_value, 'id_lang' => (int) $lang, 'value' => pSQL($cust)];

        return Db::getInstance()->insert('feature_value_lang', $row);
    }
----------------

and Change to

    public function addFeaturesCustomToDB($id_value, $lang, $cust)
   {

     if (trim($cust)=='') {

       $sql = 'SELECT f.`value`'
           .' FROM `'. _DB_PREFIX_.'feature_value_lang` f '
           .' WHERE f.id_feature_value = '.$id_value.' and id_lang<>'.$lang;
       $cust=  Db::getInstance(_PS_USE_SQL_SLAVE_)->getValue($sql);
     }

       $row = array('id_feature_value' => (int) $id_value, 'id_lang' => (int) $lang, 'value' => pSQL($cust));

       return Db::getInstance()->insert('feature_value_lang', $row);
   }
