I've a great problem with translations management on my magento 1.9 e-commerce site. I've to change some words and phrases in French language. In particular I've to change this translation:

"Submit","Soumettre"

In:

"Submit","S'identifier"

"Soumettre" is a label of a button.

I added new tanslation in file translate.csv of French language folder of the theme. This path file is the following:

app\design\frontend\enterprise\theme\locale\fr_FR\translate.csv

And the added row is:

"Submit","S'identifier"

I expected that this translation overwrite those contained in the folder

app/locale/fr_FR 

but this dosn't happen.

The phtml file that manages the view is the following: frontend/enterprise/theme/template/page/1column.phtml

The button is shown the following image: enter image description here

PHP is the following:

Can you help me, please?

  • Ok now, which page are you trying to pull this on? Go to that .phtml file. Link the specific part of the PHP code that is not pulling. If you dont' have it in your theme, copy from original theme that you inherit from and create the file in your theme.

Quick Answer:

<button type="submit" title="<?php echo $this->__('Submit') ?>" 
class="button btn-checkout" onclick="review.save();">
<span><span><?php echo $this->__('Submit') ?></span></span>
</button>

The function $this->__('Submit') pulls translations from the file you placed for anything specifically matching "Submit" and is case sensitive.

Long Answer:

Here is my frontend/enterprise/theme/template/page/1column.phtml file. By the looks of this I would not edit this particular file. You will need to reference one of the getChildHtml files.

I did my translations in PT (Portuguese) but the idea is the same. From comments above I see you're placing the translation file in proper area. You need to turn on template hints on your development environement system > configuration > select proper store view in top left > developer > "template hints" = yes. Once you do this the .phtml location should show you the actual file to use.

Now, as an example you're trying to change the label of the submit button. You already have your translation in the file in your enterprise/theme directory. "Submit","S'identifier" I am going to use the "submit" button from the one page checkout area and make the change. Because I know this is in the file app/design/frontend/enterprise/theme/template/checkout/onepage/review/button.phtml Right now I am unsure by your question which .phtml file you need to edit because of details. Turn on template hints to find out.

<button type="submit" title="<?php echo $this->__('Submit') ?>" 
class="button btn-checkout" onclick="review.save();">
<span><span><?php echo $this->__('Submit') ?></span></span>
</button>

The function $this->__('Submit') pulls translations from the file you placed for anything specifically matching "Submit" and is case sensitive.

  • Thanks, but I added into translate.csv every possible string: "Submit", "...", "SUBMIT", "...", "submit","..." and the result is always the same.. I thinkthere are some files that overwrites my translations but I don't try to solve this situation..

  • You will only need to pattern Match exactly what is in the code on that particular page.
