How to install a language pack in Magento 2? - translation

Question

I tried to follow the instructions from https://mage2.pro/t/topic/270 and http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/config-guide/cli/config-cli-subcommands-i18n.html#config-cli-subcommands-xlate-example2
but I still failed.
I'm trying to change the text of the search box in the header from 'Search entire store here...' to 'Suche...'
Right now, I have the following files in app/i18n/Test/de_ch
composer.json
de_ch.csv
language.xml
registration.php
With this content in composer.json
{
"name": "test/de_ch",
"description": "German (Switzerland) language",
"version": "100.0.1",
"license": [
"OSL-3.0",
"AFL-3.0"
],
"require": {
"magento/framework": "100.0.*"
},
"type": "magento2-language",
"autoload": {
"files": [
"registration.php"
]
}
}
de_ch.csv
"Search entire store here...","Suche..."
language.xml
<language xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/Language/package.xsd">
<code>de_CH</code>
<vendor>Test</vendor>
<package>de_ch</package>
</language>
registration.php
<?php \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::LANGUAGE,'Test_de_ch',__DIR__);
In the admin, I configured the store (Stores > Configuration > General > General > Locale Options > Locale) with Deutsch (Schweiz).
Then, tried to php bin/magento setup:upgrade and php bin/magento cache:clean
But nothing, the text in the Search form is still 'Search entire store here...'

Answer 1

I just tried it and got it working. You need to make few minor uppercase to lowercase changes and vice-versa.
Rename folder app/i18n/Test/de_ch to app/i18n/test/de_ch (lowercase t)
Rename file de_ch.csv to de_CH.csv (uppercase CH, this needs to be identical to the <code></code> in language.xml)
In language.xml, change Test to test (of course also add <?xml version="1.0"?> to the beginning of the file). This is defined in App/Language/package.xsd
In registration.php too, change it to test_de_ch
---- edited to add complete code ---
In /app/i18n/test/de_ch
Create the following files:
composer.json
{
"name": "test/de_ch",
"description": "German (Switzerland) language",
"version": "100.0.1",
"license": [
"OSL-3.0",
"AFL-3.0"
],
"require": {
"magento/framework": "100.0.*"
},
"type": "magento2-language",
"autoload": {
"files": [
"registration.php"
]
}
}
de_CH.csv
"Search entire store here...","Suche TESTING..."
language.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<language xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/Language/package.xsd">
<code>de_CH</code>
<vendor>test</vendor>
<package>de_ch</package>
</language>
registration.php
<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::LANGUAGE,
'test_de_ch',
__DIR__
);

You can buy it and install it :)
composer config repositories.atconnect composer https://connect20.aveo-trade.cz
composer require atconnect/magento-two-language-de-de
We use this composer package structure:

}
magento-two-language-de-de/language.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
