Translating text in php files

[umamishop]

Hi,
I'm trying to translate my site, and need to change some front-office text located in a .php file. I know in a .tpl file, you use {l s='Your text' mod='yourmodulename'} and then do the translation in Tools > Translations > Module translations.

What about for .php files? How can I translate the text for these files? {l s='Your text' mod='yourmodulename'} and $this->l('Your text') don't seem to work.

Thank you.

Can someone help with this question? Thanks!

I have the same issue too

You can add this line of code:

 

if(!$dontTranslate)

{

$this->displayName = $this->l('My module');

$this->description = $this->l('Description of my module.');

}

 

This will let the dispaly namd and description appear on the Tools > Translations > Module translations screen.

 

But what if we want to translate a text outside the constructor, is there a way?

Hi,

Try this

 

$this->l('My string', 'filename')

 

For instance, in the /bankwire/controllers/front/validation.php file:

die($this->module->l('This payment method is not available.', 'validation'));
