Translatable strings inside traits always showing the original language string [SOLVED]

[Juergen]

Hello community,

I am struggeling with a problem that translatable strings inside a trait will not display the correct language translation.

I use the trait inside a class and include it inside the class like this

<?php
namespace MyNameSpace;

use function ProcessWire\_;

class myClass  {

  use activation;

  public function myMethod()
  {
	return $this->function test();
  }

]

Only to mention : I use a custom namespace.

The trait looks like this

<?php
namespace MyNameSpace;


trait activation {

  public function test()
  {
	return $this->_('My text');
  }

}

The problem is that "My text" will not be translated to the other languages independent of the which $user->language is set.

Maybe someone has a solution for this problem and could post it here.

Silly mistake!!!

Trait is not a class, so using $this was not a good idea ?

// use 

__('myString');

// and not 

$this->_('myString');

// inside traits
