Compiler does not output translations

[K4mil]

Hello

I've recently run into a trouble with translatable strings in my template files. Shortly speaking translatable strings show up properly in language panel, I can create and save translations, everything looks just fine in backend. The problem is that the only outputed value is the hardcoded one. It's definitely not a problem with template code itself because this happened even on simple test template with a  translatable string alone. 

There are no errors, I don't see anything special in logs. I just recently moved site from my local server to my ftp. There were some issues with paths in language files, but I have fixed it. It's the newest dev version of PW. I really don't have idea where to look, I'm fighting with this second day, and slowly loosing my nerves.

Have had the same issue a few days back and got it working by adding this in line 1 of my template.

<?php namespace ProcessWire; ?>

The translatable strings are defined in this way:

<?php echo __('Kontakt'); ?>

Work like a charm! I was going crazy with this. I owe you, thanks!

Sidenote: 

<?php namespace ProcessWire; ?>

Should be added to the very file containing translatable strings (in case if it's attached by include() in the template)

Sometimes this isn't enough. There is an issue, if the template file sits in a subdirectory under site/templates and has to be processed by the file compiler.

I filed the issue here.

As a workaround, I changed a line in wire/modules/LanguageSupport/LanguageTranslator.php:

original line (# 229):

if($pos) $filename = substr($filename, $pos+20);

to be replaced with:

if($pos) $filename = preg_replace("@^.*?cache/FileCompiler/@", wire('config')->urls->templates, $filename);
