Text in t() blank
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi
I have added German and translated a button, but there is no text where it should be in the t() function.
What do I need to check please?
Thanks
Dave

It has created the following file and I can see the translation in there:
\languages\site\de_DE.po
\languages\site\de_DE.po
I mean the code where your button is?
Here is the code:
<li><a href="" class="btn request-quote"><?php t('Request a Quote'); ?></a></li>
It is in a page template in the sites' theme.
<li><a href="" class="btn request-quote"><?php t('Request a Quote'); ?></a></li>

There is an echo statement missing from your button's code.
Please update the code:

Agh how silly of me, thanks that has sorted it!
Sorry one more thing, is it possible to translate the value of a variable?
echo t($val);
It doesn't seem to work.
echo t($val);
It doesn't seem to work.
No, the system cannot recognize the text inside the variable because it does not do any PHP processing, it is just a parser that searches for t() strings.
You can add e.g. at the top of that file the following lines where you define all instances that can be inside the $val variable:
If these variables are loaded from the database, you need to know how to create concrete5 packages in order to tell Translations Manager about those strings.

<?php // Define all possible translatable values for $val t("First String"); t("Second String"); t("Third String"); ?>

Thanks Manio, I will do that.
In which folder have you stored this code?
