Translate module related strings (Front and Back office)

[guy_lux]

Hi all,

I'm now able to build my own module, but I can't figure out about how to link translations to this module. I've got "en.php" and "fr.php" files inside my module dir, but when I look into them, it looks like this :

<?php

global $_MODULE;
$_MODULE = array();
$_MODULE['<{blockcategories}prestashop>blockcategories_8f0ed7c57fca428f7e3f8e64d2f00918'] = 'Bloc catégories';
$_MODULE['<{blockcategories}prestashop>blockcategories_bdfd1b1bece2a3a5a52afa810a643a0d'] = 'Ajoute un bloc proposant une navigation au sein de vos catégories de produits';
$_MODULE['<{blockcategories}prestashop>blockcategories_23e0d4ecc25de9b2777fdaca3e2f3193'] = 'Profondeur maximum : nombre invalide';
$_MODULE['<{blockcategories}prestashop>blockcategories_0cf328636f0d607ac24a5c435866b94b'] = 'Dynamic HTML : choix invalide';

Four questions :

#What the hell is that token '8f0ed7c57fca428f7e3f8e64d2f00918'

#Where and how can I simply tell smarty "my_string" : "Ma chaine" ?

#Is it normal (and why ?) that the PHP end tag is missing in all language files ?

#Are both back and front strings into the same dictionnary file ?


Thank you very much for your help, 'must say I'm really lost with these translations files...

the files are edited by presta automatically with the translation tool from BO -> don't worry about them

You need to create an empty en.php file (see format of other modules).
If you want to include other translation with your moodule, create them from the Backoffice, prestashop will generate the lang.php file for, which you can include in the module.

The long token is basically the English string after an md5() php function was applied to it (I assume for uniqueness).
