translate
Can be used to translate hardcoded texts in your theme, using locale files. It expects you to put a .yml (YAML) file for each language of your site in the locales folder. So if your site supports Dutch and English, you should have the following files:
footer:
heading: "Welkom bij de footer"
served_by_plate: "Deze website wordt geserveerd door Plate"
contacts:
phone: "Telefoon"
email: "Email"footer:
heading: "Welcome to the footer"
served_by_plate: "This site is served by Plate"
contacts:
phone: "Phone"
email: "Email"When these files are in place, you can use the translate filter as follows.
On the Dutch version of the site:
Input:
{{ "footer.heading" | translate }}
{{ "footer.contacts.phone" | translate }}Output:
Welkom bij de footer
TelefoonOn the English version of the site:
Input:
{{ "footer.heading" | translate }}
{{ "footer.contacts.phone" | translate }}Output:
Welcome to the footer
