Customizing Translations¶
Note
We’ve adopted a convention of overriding translations in the app\Resources\translations directory.
Why would you customize a translation?¶
If you would like to change any of the translation keys defined in Sylius in any desired language.
For example:
- change “Last name” into “Surname”
- change “Add to cart” into “Buy”
There are many other places where you can customize the text content of pages.
How to customize a translation?¶
In order to customize a translation in your project:
1. If you don’t have it yet, create app\Resources\translations\messages.en.yml for English translations.
Note
You can create different files for different locales (languages). For example messages.pl.yml should hold only Polish translations,
as they will be visible when the current locale is PL. Check the Locales docs for more information.
2. In this file, configure the desired key and give it a translation.
If you would like to change the translation of “Email” into “Username” on the login form you have to
override its translation key which is sylius.form.customer.email.
sylius:
form:
customer:
email: Username
Tip
How to check what the proper translation key is for your message: When you are on the page where you are trying to customize a translation, click the Translations icon in the Symfony Profiler. In this section you can see all messages with their associated keys on that page.
