internationalization Code Internationalization (i18n) doesn´t work within included php files

[daniel_puehringer]

Hey community,

first of all: I love this CMS! But unfortunately my Code Internationalization (i18n) doesn´t work within included php files:

I´m using the module Pro Fields Page Table, the regular Languages Support Module and no template caching. The website has 2 Languages (DE as default, EN as second language)

Problem:

Using

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

within /site/templates/home.php works without any problems and gets translated correctly
However using

<?php echo($this->_('Headline'));?>

within /site/templates/components/component.php does not work.

Note: using

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

in .../component.php throws an error and therefore cannot be used.

 

Example:

/site/templates/ce-includer.php (Template with the dynamic text-field 'filepath'):

include('components/'.$page->filepath);

this correclty includes the file "/site/templates/components/home-content.php"

Code in home-content.php:

<h1><?php echo($this->_('Headline'));?></h1>

Output for both pages (DE and EN version - the string was translated to "Headline DE" in german and "Headline EN" in english):

<h1>Headline</h1>

Does anyone know how to use Code Internationalization in such a szenario?

All the best and keep up the great work!
Daniel

Welcome to ProcessWire and the forums @daniel_puehringer.

$this__() is only for use inside a class.

Have you tried echo __('Headline')? According to the docs, the (__('Headine')) syntax is for use with the placeholder syntax (printf() or sprintf()). Not sure why it worked inside your home.php though. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will provide a better answer. Meanwhile, just in case you missed them, here are the internationalization docs.

Sadly this did not work either, however I have now found an error message which sounds promising:

It seems to me as if there was a problem with the scope:, however I don´t know what to do with this information since I have little experience with the Wire Objecs and Hooks.

Maybe someone else does ?

Greetings,
Daniel

@daniel_puehringer,

Are your included files namespaced with ProcessWire? e.g., at the top of  home-content.php

<?php namespace ProcessWire;
