HI,

In a template I am using the following sentence

<p class="intro"><%t ParticipantsList.LASTUPDATE "Last Update : " %>$GetBPFLstEdt($PTable)</p>

it always displays the corresponding value in the en.yml file whatever language I choose when displaying the page e.g. //url/mypage/?locale=nl_NL

further in my template, I am doing the following (because I never got the translatable working):
<% if Locale == "fr_FR" %>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="left">Nom, Prénom</th>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="center">Nom, prévom du passager</th>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="center">Etat</th>
<% else %>
<% if Locale == "nl_NL" %>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="left">Naam, Voornaam</th>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="center">Naam, voornaam v/d passagier</th>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="center">Status</th>
<% else %>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="left">Name, Forename</th>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="center">Passenger</th>
<th style="height: 15px; background-color: #87c6fc;" align="center">State</th>
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>

And this gives me the text in the language I want. This confirms that the $Locale variable contains the right value.
Why is <%t ParticipantsList.LASTUPDATE "Last Update : " %> not working?

I created a nl_NL.yml file containing the following:
nl_NL:
ParticipantsList:
DESCRIPTION: 'Generic content page'
LASTUPDATE: 'Laatste aanpassing: '
PLURALNAME: 'Participants Lists'
SINGULARNAME: 'Participants List'

and I created a nl.yml file containing the following:
nl:
ParticipantsList:
DESCRIPTION: 'Generic content page'
LASTUPDATE: 'Laatste aanpassing: '
PLURALNAME: 'Participants Lists'
SINGULARNAME: 'Participants List'

I rebuild the site using //url/dev/build/?flush=1
displayed the page using .../?flush=all

And I always get the translation from the en.yml file

who can help? what is wrong?
I don't know where to look anymore
Thank you for your support

Philippe
