New translation (1.7.6.1) not working?

[SnefIT]

Hi

 

Trying to create  a module with the new way of translating. In my main module file I have some thing like:

$this->name = $this->trans('SnefIT Test Module, [], 'Modules.Snefittest.Snefittest');

// Also tried
// $this->name = $this->trans('SnefIT Test Module, [], 'Modules.Snefittest.Snefittest.php');
 

But it is not seen as in the backoffice as an translation (=> translations -> module -> ....). Am I missing somehting?

Hello,
Did you try :

public function isUsingNewTranslationSystem() {
  return true;
}

(read this to get an example of a very simple module with new translation system and here for Prestashop's doc about that)

your code is wrong, should be

$this->name = $this->trans('SnefIT Test Module', [], 'Modules.Snefittest.Snefittest');

@joomleader: that was a typo in this post 😉 Else it wouldn't work at all because of the missing '

I will try the isUsingNewTranslationSystem() in the next few days...

isUsingNewTranslationSystem() was the missing link! Thanx!

why should you try a new way to translate? are you doing this only for training with creating moduls?
