  • In JS and PHP Source Code we use German text, this is not perfect, but out of historical reasons we have to proceed this way
  • Only in JS source code, we use the #UT# Prefix, since all JS strings are overwritten in the several "localizedstrings.phtml" files.
  • In the localizedstrings.phtml files, there must not be any '#UT#', this is just a marker not to forget a string from the frontend source code in the localizedstrings.phtml.
  • Technically the "#UT#" text in the JS files can differ from the corresponding string in the localizedstrings.phtml, since only the values in localizedstrings.phtml are technically relevant. But for a convention, we try to keep the texts in sync.
  • When you open the application in English, and you receive German texts, this means the translation is missing.
  • If you see #UT# strings (or a missing string at all) in the application this means that the entry in localizedstrings.phtml is missing
  • Missing translations are tracked in "./data/cache/notFoundTranslation*.xliff" files
     the here added transunits has to be applied manually in our delivered xliff files
  • Translation of core code is added in:
    ./application/modules/editor/locales/de.xliff
    ./application/modules/editor/locales/en.xliff
  • Translation of Plug-In code is added in:
    ./application/modules/editor/Plugins/PLUGIN_FOLDER/locales/de.xliff
    ./application/modules/editor/Plugins/PLUGIN_FOLDER/locales/en.xliff
  • Currently, we deliver de and en translations only, although strings in the Source Code are in German, we have to fill the de.xliff files additionally.
  • Translation in en.xliff files must be done manually

Translation(xliff) file example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<xliff xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:1.1" version="1.1">
		<file original="php-sourcecode" source-language="de" target-language="en" datatype="php">
			<body>
				<trans-unit id="V2VpdGVy">
					<source>Weiter</source>
					<target>Continue</target>
				</trans-unit>
			</body>
		</file>
</xliff>

The transunit-ID should contain the base64-encoded source-string als used in the php source-code. This ID is used for matching.
