Magento2-Translation not working in js files

Question

I was trying to make translation in JS files.

I have tried

• 1

require([
'jquery',
'jquery/ui', 
'mage/translate'
], function($){ 
    $(window).load(function() {
        alert($.mage.__('Your Message'));
    });
});

<?php echo __('Create Backup') ?>

But nothing worked. It's working fine for strings added in php code.

Answer 1

For me, I understood that flushing the translation cache was not deleting the js-translation.json in pub/static/path/to/appropriate/theme/locale. After deleting, the file was renewed and things where going on.

It is actually what is suggested in the comment @Pinky_P made but was hidden to me :(.
