I tried to create a translation dictionary for my whole magento site by using the following command:
php magento i18n:collect-phrases -o '/var/www/html/kikinben2/app/i18n/alothemes/bn_bd/bn_BD.csv' -m
I got this error:
[DomainException]
Missed phrase
It works only when I try with a directory path instead of -m at the end. But I need to make it for the whole website, not for a single module.
REASON for it are __('') ? in third-party extension (or in design theme).
to find empty strings
grep -rnw . -e "('')" -e '("")'
not only "empty strings" give that error but __('0'); also fails.
I have come across this on a Magento 2.3.7 site, when trying use translations to alter text like "Jot us a note" on the contact us page.
When I used that grep command to find the issues, it came back with just 2 results, both from the dev tools: ./dev/tests/integration/testsuite/Magento/Customer/Model/Address/CreateAddressTest.php:480: 'request_message' => __(''), ./vendor/magento/magento2-base/dev/tests/integration/testsuite/Magento/Customer/Model/Address/CreateAddressTest.php:480: 'request_message' => __(''),
So not sure how best to fix?
