POCakePHP 2.1 .po files / translation not working
text
Body
copied!<p>I use <code><?php echo __("this is my string"); ?></code> inside my views to display text in multiple languages. I created a .po-file directory for german:</p> <p>=> app/Locale/ger/LC_MESSAGES/default.po</p> <blockquote> <p>msgid "this is my string" </p> <p>msgstr "dies ist meine zeichenkette"</p> </blockquote> <p>When I add <code>Configure::write('Config.language','ger');</code> to my AppController.php beforeFilter function the text still remains "this is my string". Even if I create a .po for english with a different msgstr the text still remains the same.</p> <p>Do I have to change a specific setting to activate the translation?</p> <hr> <p>I have a follow up problem: I added <code>Configure::write('Config.language','eng');</code> to <strong>core.php</strong> to set my default language but now I can't change the value, even if I try to override it in <strong>AppController.php</strong> beforeFilter with:</p> <pre><code>Configure::write('Config.language', 'deu'); //'de' also doesn't work CakeSession::write('Config.language', 'deu'); //'de' also doesn't work </code></pre> <p>If I change the value in core.php it works perfectly fine but once set in core.php I cant change it.</p> <p><strong>solved:</strong> ah, I forgot to add <code>parent::beforeFilter();</code> inside the beforeFilter function of all the controllers.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Additional information:</strong></p> <ul> <li>If you want to define a default language (and you usually will), add <code>Configure::write('Config.language', 'eng');</code> to the <strong>core.php</strong></li> </ul>
