How to Override a Translation for a Specific Module in Magento 2

localisationmagento2

I need to change the text on an item in a 3rd party extension from "Apply" to "Redeem". Since Apply is used in other modules as well I want to make sure to only affect instance of "apply" in the module specifically.

In Magento 1 this could be done using the line below in the theme's translation file…

"Module_Name::Apply","Redeem"

I tried this in Magento 2 and it does not seem to work and I didn't see any mention of an alternative in the Magento Translate Docs. Is there a way to accomplish this in Magento 2?

Best Answer

You can use "Apply", "Redeem", module, Module_Name

Example in devdocs

"Add to Cart", "Add to Cart", module, Magento_Review

"Add to Cart", "Add to Shopping Cart", module, Magento_Catalog

Magento – Translating “Add to Cart” and “Go to Top”

It might be an issue with hardcoded lines but first try to find the strings in the corresponding phtml files.

You can use template hints under System > Configuration > Developer > Debug (set scope to the website) to see what phtml file the line is in. Then open up that file, probably under app/design/frontend/[package]/[template]/template/path/to/file.phtml and look for the line Add to Cart for example.

Check if it is inside something that looks like

<?php echo $this->('Add to Cart')?>

If so: go to the locale/nl_NL/translate.csv file under app/design/frontend/[package]/[template]/ or create it and add the line

"Add to Cart","Voeg toe aan winkelwagen"
"Go to Top","Ga naar boven"

If it's not wrapped in the above code you can do so yourself. This will tell Magento to translate it

Magento – Magento2 override core module translation file not working

Core Module translations will not be overridden in custom theme so you need to place the new translations in your custom module folder. Create an empty module or use your existing module.

Just Copy this file vendor\magento\module-fedex\i18n\en_US.csv and paste it to any of your extension app\code\vendor\module\i18n
