Extract .po string from .volt file

Can you get more information about the problem? In what sense and why does "extract"?

If you want to create the *.po localization-file in your project, you should move all of strings with the text in this file and use the translate component in the .volt like this.

{{ t._('TheConstantForTranslation') }}

You can make it manually. In my opinion, it's will be easier and faster then searching the automatic method. Good luck!

Hi, Is not ideal to create manually the .po files for large project. Is preferable and good practice to extract phrase directly from files, as poedit offer this: https://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=1413717

I think that this is the more faster and easier way than manually. Otherwise is like that you need to do double work.

At the moment the only workaround that I found is to extract from cached files.

I found also this Twig extractor: https://github.com/umpirsky/Twig-Gettext-Extractor, I need to test using volt, maybe just adding different extension can work.

I guess if someone had already solve this problem by preparing something custom for volt.

Thanks!

I think you mean that poedit is not parsing .volt files? If yes, you can edit poedits settings.

1. Open poedit
2. Edit -> Settings
3. Switch to Parser Tab
4. Select PHP and click on edit
5. Add *.volt to the list

Thanks for this tip, but seem that don't help. Do you tested already? The parser of po edit search for php tag open (<?php) and php tag close (</php>) This is error message:

Try a different Parser like C++

Can you please tell me more how to do this? Thanks

I use this bash script to parse translations:

find . -path './vendor' -prune -o -printf '%p\n' | sort -n | grep '\.php$' | xargs xgettext --from-code=UTF-8 --default-domain=default -o ./locale/template.pot

The idea behind it is that the Volt engine generates php files for final use, so I get the phrases from there, not the .volt files. You would have to have all pages visited ofc, or a script that compiles all volt files to the cached php.

Thanks for your suggestion, but don't work. This is just a few of similar error messages:

Yes from cache files work fine, but I would like to extract from volt file.

Hi, thanks for suggestion, but I have already try that. I try again now and still not working, this is a few error msg:

Just a note: point 4. Remove all parser

First of all I need to go to "Poedit > Preferences > Extractor" (maybe because I am using a mac is different?)

Second thing is that I don't delete existing extractor (what you call "parser").

The error only says you have to define the encoding of your catalog before you try to extract the strings.

Yes, you are right, work fine after adding encoding. I get different error message, but seem that all phrase are extracted.

Big thanks!

Open your catalog settings and change the encoding to UTF-8 (or whatever you use)

Thank you for replying me. What does Phalcon need to do to make Poedit extract {{ t._('') }}? the encoding is UTF-8

Phalcon doesn't need anything. You need to define the source code enconding in Poedit.

As your screenshot says, you need to add --from-code. Look above at the accepted answer to parse your volt files.

Starting with version 2.3 (released a few days ago), Poedit Pro can extract translations directly from Phalcon's Volt templates with no extra configuration.
