Hi everyone,

I've got some problem with using _t() function in my multilanguage site.

In my template i put:

<% _t('DESIGN', 'some text') %>

I have 2 lang files under mysite/lang folder: en_US.php and pl_PL.php where I enter:

$lang['en_US']['Page.ss']['DESIGN'] = 'some text';

and

$lang['pl_PL']['Page.ss']['DESIGN'] = 'polish text';

Whatever language I choose in my site it always give me back 'polish text'. Its seems to work ok, but it never wants to load english text (unless I delete pl_PL.php).

In my _config.php I have:

i18n::enable();
Translatable::set_default_locale('pl_PL');
Object::add_extension('SiteTree', 'Translatable');

I dont have a clue what is wrong... General content translations done in CMS admin work fine.
Any help I will be grateful.

Regards,
Gordon

Hi Gordon!

In my _config.php I have some other lines:

// Define allowed locales overriding those present in i18n::$common_locales
global $allowed_locales;
$allowed_locales = array(
		'fr_FR' => array('French', 'français'),
		'en_GB' => array('English', 'English'),
		'es_ES' => array('Spanish', 'español')
	);
i18n::$common_locales = $allowed_locales;

// Define defaults
i18n::set_locale('fr_FR');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR.UTF8', 'fr_FR', 'fr-FR', 'french'); // Needed for dates

Also, you need to set your locale in the init() function of your Page_Controller with some code implementing i18n::set_locale(). Do you have it? (see here).

Hope it helps,
Juan

Shouldn't it be:

<% _t('Page.ss.DESIGN', 'some text') %>

Or should this work regardless because page.ss is the location?

That’s true! There’s also a bug with included templates: http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/4915

Thank you for your responses.

Juanitou, ,you were right, I didnt set locale in my Page_Controller.
After adding this in my init() function:

if($this->dataRecord->hasExtension('Translatable')) {
			i18n::set_locale($this->dataRecord->Locale);
		}

Thanks!
