Installing Hyvä language packs

Mex — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 07:20:28 +0000

Language packs are already available for Hyvä in a number of languages. You can install them with Composer as usual. Find the available languages at https://docs.hyva.io/hyva-themes/building-your-theme/localization.html; more are being added over time.

At the time of writing, Hyvä for Magento 2 supported these languages:

bg_BG: hyva-themes/i18n-bg-bg
ca_ES: hyva-themes/i18n-ca-es
de_DE: hyva-themes/i18n-de-de
es_ES: hyva-themes/i18n-es-es
fr_FR: hyva-themes/i18n-fr-fr
it_IT: hyva-themes/i18n-it-it
nl_BE: hyva-themes/i18n-nl-be
nl_DI: hyva-themes/i18n-nl-di
nl_NL: hyva-themes/i18n-nl-nl
pl_PL: hyva-themes/i18n-pl-pl
pt_BR: hyva-themes/i18n-pt-br
uk_UA: hyva-themes/i18n-uk-ua

For example, to install the German language pack, run the following commands from your Magento 2 root directory:

composer require hyva-themes/i18n-de-de
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

JavaScript translations are not working

If you add a translation to a language CSV file (such as de_DE.csv), it may not be included correctly in your theme’s js-translation.json . Consequently, messages such as validation errors remain untranslated. To fix this, override vendor/magento/module-translation/Model/Json/PreProcessor.php and make the following change:

$area = $this->areaList->getArea($areaCode);			
$area->load(\Magento\Framework\App\Area::PART_TRANSLATE);

becomes

$area = $this->areaList->getArea($areaCode);	
$area->load(\Magento\Framework\App\Area::PART_DESIGN);		
$area->load(\Magento\Framework\App\Area::PART_TRANSLATE);

After redeploying the static content, your translation should appear in your theme’s js-translation.json and work on the storefront.

Overriding standard translations

Open your theme’s translate.csv file and add the following content as a new line:

"Mage_Catalog::Choose an Option...","Wählen Sie eine Option"

This allows you to override the default translation of “Choose an Option…” with your own translation. You only need the original English text (“Choose an Option…” in the example), the module that provides it (Mage_Catalog in this example), and a translate.csv file in your theme.

What is “var Translator” and can it be removed?

If you take a look at your Magento stores code, you might see the following JavaScript code:

var Translator = new Translate({...});

You might ask yourself, if its safe to remove that and what that code does. The code is responsible for translating your forms. Its safe to remove it, if you setup your store with only one language. If thats the case, you can safely remove the above code.
To rmove the code, open app/design/frontend/default/theme/template/page/html/head.php, and remove the following code:

helper('core/js')->getTranslatorScript() ?>
