Translation Issue in kirby 3.9.8

The CMS Questions
1

Hi everyone,

I am working on the plugin and am having trouble with translation. This is my plugin’s ‘index.php’ file.

<?php

use Kirby\Cms\App as Kirby;

Kirby::plugin('kirby-cookie-plugin', [
    'blueprints' => [
        'cookiebannertab' => __DIR__ . '/blueprints/tabs/cookiebannertab.yml'
	],
    'snippets' => [
        'cookiebanner' =>  __DIR__ . '/snippets/cookiebanner.php'
    ],
    'translations' => [
        'de' => require __DIR__ . '/translations/de.php',
        'en' => require __DIR__ . '/translations/en.php',
    ],
]);

This is a generic cookie banner plugin that I can use in any Kirby project.

So the problem is that one of my projects only uses the German language. When I log in to the panel and check the cookie banner, the translation is always in English. When I log out of the panel, everything works fine. With this method ‘$kirby->language()->code()’, I checked the language with and without login, and it always returns ‘de’.

Maybe logged user language is English? Alternatively you can also try panel.language option:

3

There is only one language in the panel, and as I mentioned in my previous comment, I always get ‘de’ with or without logging in. But I’ll try with panel.language option.

@ahmetbora @texnixe Can you please help me regarding this. I’m new in kirby and can’t find any solution.
I also tried with panel.language option but it’s not working.

5

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing. Is this a multi-language site with only one language enabled, or a standard site without languages? Are we talking about output in the frontend or in the Panel?

6

Currently, there is only one language on the site, but it will be multi-language in the future, which is why my plugin is generic enough to be used on other sites as well.

I am referring to the output in the frontend after logging into the panel.

Ok, I tested this again and did the following:

  1. Downloaded a fresh 3.9.8 Starterkit
  2. Enabled languages in config
  3. Created German as language via the Panel
  4. Create a basic plugin with
    • a cookiebanner snippets which only contains the following string <?php echo t('myerror');
    • two translation files en.php and de.php with the translations for myerror
  5. Added the cookiebanner snippet in the header snippet
  6. While logged in, opened the home page at `http://starterkit-3.9.9.test/de: “Cookiebanner” shows string in German
  7. Logged out, opened the home page t `http://starterkit-3.9.9.test/de: : “Cookiebanner” still shows string in German

So if this corresponds to what you are doing, then I cannot reproduce it.

The language definition in site/languages/de as created by the Panel:

<?php

return [
    'code' => 'de',
    'default' => true,
    'direction' => 'ltr',
    'locale' => [
        'LC_ALL' => 'de_DE'
    ],
    'name' => 'Deutsch',
    'translations' => [

    ],
    'url' => NULL
];

I also have the same language definition under site/languages/de. Except this ‘url’ => ‘/’

Could you please look at my plugin index.php file? Perhaps there is a mistake in this file.

<?php

use Kirby\Cms\App as Kirby;

Kirby::plugin('kirby-cookie-plugin', [
    'blueprints' => [
        'cookiebannertab' => __DIR__ . '/blueprints/tabs/cookiebannertab.yml'
	],
    'snippets' => [
        'cookiebanner' =>  __DIR__ . '/snippets/cookiebanner.php'
    ],
    'translations' => [
        'de' => require __DIR__ . '/translations/de.php',
        'en' => require __DIR__ . '/translations/en.php',
    ],
]);

The index is fine

11

Is this plugin publicly accessible anywhere?

12

No, we are using it in our internal Kirby projects.

13

Could be this setting. Try setting this to null instead.

14

I tried with null as well but it always same.

15

And what do you have in your config?

16

This is in site/config/config.php file.

<?php

return [
	'panel' =>[
		'install' => true,
	],
	'languages' => true,
	'debug'  => true,
	'date.handler' => 'intl',
	'cache' => [
		'pages' => [
		  'active' => true
		]
	  ]
];

Hm, I’m at my wits’ end for the moment. Feel free to send me a download link with the code via PM, so I can check it out locally.
