How to add new field to translate

[MKZ Industries]

Hi all, 

I have modified the /pdf/invoice.total-tab.tpl file so a new line "PayPal fee" appears in the total table. Among other code, I have used this line in a similar way to the rest of the concepts: 

<td class="grey" width="50%">
	{l s='PayPal fee' d='Shop.Pdf' pdf='true'}
</td>

However, the name "PayPal fee" is no translated to other languages as, for example, the "shipping costs" is: 

<td class="grey" width="50%">
      {l s='Shipping Costs' d='Shop.Pdf' pdf='true'}
 </td>

How can I add a new field to the front office translations so it can be translated? It should appear under the "Shop -> pdf" translations, right?

Thank you very much for your help and best regards,

Solution 1: Add a Dummy {l} in a PHP or TPL File

• Open any module or theme PHP or TPL file (for example, your custom theme's templates/_partials/footer.tpl).
• Add this dummy code (it won’t be displayed, but will register the string for translations):

{l s='PayPal fee' d='Shop.Pdf'}

This ensures that PrestaShop's translation system picks up the string during the next scan.

Save and clear cache.

Solution 2: Manually Add the Translation in the Back Office

Go to International > Translations.

Choose "Modify translations".

Select Type of translation: PDF translations.

Select your theme and language.

In the list, look under Shop > pdf.
If "PayPal fee" doesn't appear, use Solution 1 above and then check again after clearing cache.

• PrestaShop only scans core files and modules for new translation strings.
• Custom template strings are not automatically picked up.
• Use a dummy {l} line in any scanned file to make your string appear in the Back Office translations.
• Then, translate as normal under International > Translations > PDF translations > Shop > pdf.

I thought that the file /pdf/invoice.total-tab.tpl was going to be scanned, as other terms like "Wrapping Costs" that appear in those TPL, but it doesn't look like. I have also cleared all caches and nothing. How often is that scan done?

Thanks anyway!

Hello again, 

I have included the dummy line {l s='PayPal fee' d='Shop.Pdf'} in the file "My Theme/templates/_partials/footer.tpl" and now it appears in my back office under the section: "International > Translations: modify translations", selecting "Front office translations; My theme; Spanish". 

I translated it as "Comisión PayPal" but it seems that the translation does not apply... I have cleared both caches of PS and my browser. Any ideas why it is not working?
