RockFrontend now supports translations in LATTE files ?

[bernhard]

NOTE (2024-10-11): No special syntax needed any more!

I'm so happy about that feature that I think it's worth having a new thread for it! ?

You can now use regular PW translation features directly from within your LATTE files!!

All you need to do is this:

• make sure you have PW >= 3.0.212
• add the "latte" extension to ProcessLanguageTranslator's module config (or use the checkbox in RockFrontend's module config if you are using RockMigrations!)
• add translatable strings to your latte files and make sure to prefix them with either an equal sign or $rf-> or $rockfrontend->

<p>{=__('Das ist ein Test')}</p>
<p>{=_x('foo bar', 'context')}</p>
<p>{=_n('Found one item', 'Found multiple items', 1)}</p>
<p>{=_n('Found one item', 'Found multiple items', 2)}</p>

<p>{$rf->_('Das ist ein Test')}</p>
<p>{$rf->_x('foo bar', 'context')}</p>
<p>{$rf->_n('Found one item', 'Found multiple items', 1)}</p>
<p>{$rf->_n('Found one item', 'Found multiple items', 2)}</p>

<p>{$rockfrontend->_('Das ist ein Test')}</p>
<p>{$rockfrontend->_x('foo bar', 'context')}</p>
<p>{$rockfrontend->_n('Found one item', 'Found multiple items', 1)}</p>
<p>{$rockfrontend->_n('Found one item', 'Found multiple items', 2)}</p>

Hey @Sanyaissues thx for liking this post just in the right time!

As of now we don't need any custom syntax any more for translatable strings in Latte files 😎 That's a side-effect of a recent request by @FireWire to make all native PW functions like wire() available in latte files and that also means that __(...) and _n(...) are now natively available in latte files as well!

Just use <h1>{__('This is a translatable headline')}</h1> 🥳

Thanks for the message @bernhard!

By any chance, have you ever used Functional Fields + RF + Latte? I noticed that when I declare __text('foo') directly in home.latte, the functional field doesn't recognize it. However, when I add it to _rockfrontend.php, it works.

No, sorry, maybe {$wire->__text('foo')} works?

{\ProcessWire\__text('foo')} works (but it didn't solve my problem hahaha). But guess whose module did the trick

$rm->migrate([
    'fields' => [
        'textlist' => [
            'label' => 'textList',
            'fileMode' => 1,
            'translateFiles' => [
                0 => './pages/home.latte', //Magic!
            ],
            'type' => 'FieldtypeFunctional',
        ],
    ],
