Translations for custom template not being picked up
Permalink
Hi, for a mutlilingual site I was trying to add my own translated strings. But for some reason they are not being picked up when I load the page. Here is what I did:
- First I added a translated string in my view.php located at blocks/page_list/templates/mytemplate/view.php
- Then I added these lines using a text editor to my messages.po file located at languages/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES
- Afterwards I created a new mo file using
But although msgfmt indicated that one additional string was added and translated system strings are displayed just fine, my own addition is still displayed in english language.
Any Idea what I am missing here. Is there another step I need to perform?

<?=t("Click here to read more about this topic")?>
- Then I added these lines using a text editor to my messages.po file located at languages/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES
msgid "Click here to read more about this topic" msgstr "Hier klicken um mehr über diesed Thema zu lesen"
- Afterwards I created a new mo file using
msgfmt -v -o messages.mo messages.po
But although msgfmt indicated that one additional string was added and translated system strings are displayed just fine, my own addition is still displayed in english language.
