Can be used to translate hardcoded texts in your theme, using locale files. It expects that you put a .yml (YAML) file for each language of your site in the folder locales. So if your site support dutch and english, you should have the following files:
locales/nl.yml locales/en.yml
These files can then contain translations in an arbitrary structure. For example:
locales/nl.yml
footer:
heading: "Welkom bij de footer"
served_by_plate: "Deze website wordt geserveerd door Plate"
contacts:
phone: "Telefoon"
email: "Email"
locales/en.yml
footer:
heading: "Welcome to the footer"
served_by_plate: "This site is served by Plate"
contacts:
phone: "Phone"
email: "Email"
When these files are in place, you can use the translate filter as follows.
On the dutch version of the site:
Input:
{{ "footer.heading" | translate }}
{{ "footer.contacts.phone" | translate }}
Output:
Welkom bij de footer Telefoon
On the english version of the site:
Input:
{{ "footer.heading" | translate }}
{{ "footer.contacts.phone" | translate }}
Output:
Welcome to the footer Phone
