I am using Magento 2.0.4 and want to provide translation dictionaries to vendor modules such vendor/magento/module-customer

I have successfully collected the phrases of this module, but don't know where I should put the .csv

Note: I am not going to install a language package, I'm translating each module in isolation.

  • See for example the Magento Customer module.

  • @SteveJohnson I have placed translations inside app/code/Magento/Customer/i18n/ but it doesn't load! Moreover, I didn't find this app/code/Magento folder and its subfolders and created them myself

  • In the Magento 2 GitHub (and if you clone GitHub), you'll see app/code but if you installed via archive or Composer, you'll see modules under vendor/<vendorname>. You should put your .csv file under the appropriate directory, which in your case, sounds like vendor

  • According to our docs, translations for this module should go to: vendor/magento/module-customer/i18n/. What is the name of your .csv file? It must use the correct language code in the naming, to be applied correctly.

I had the same issue.. After hours of investigating i found out that this is the closest to a solution that accually works. It's translates per vendor, so then I don't have to have all phrases in one large file.

Create:

/app/i18n/vendor/de_ch/de_CH.csv
/app/i18n/vendor/de_ch/composer.json
/app/i18n/vendor/de_ch/language.xml
/app/i18n/vendor/de_ch/registration.php

You have to keep .csv file inside your theme i18n folder.

app/design/frontend/{Package}/{themename}/i18n/

  • why it should be under the theme folder? I'm translating a module not creating a theme!

You have to keep .csv file inside your theme i18n folder.

app/design/frontend/{Package}/{themename}/i18n/

Remove var folder and check.

  • I am pretty sure these answers are incorrect but am checking. I believe that a module translation file goes with the module. We'll post an update ASAP.

  • You have to put i18n folder inside your theme and inside i18n folder keep your csv for changes.

    This is a bad answer! As soon as you update the module your translation is lost.
