Translations are not showing

I have translations for a module. I created the message_es.properties file and added it to the module’s resource folder. Everything has been translated but when I choose the “spanish” at the bottom of the page my translations don’t show up. Why is this? How can I add my translation?

Hi Vicente

Have you added the locale and the name of the translation file to your module’s config.xml file? See below for what this looks like:

en messages.properties

You’ll need to add an additional messages tag for the es locale and message_es.properties file.

Ah. I had written this: <lang>en</lang> <lang>es</lang> <file>messages.properties</file> And I changed it to: <lang>en</lang> <file>messages.properties</file> <lang>es</lang> <file>messages_es.properties</file> And it worked. Thank you!

I know it works for you but the correct thing to do is to define each lang and file in a separate messages tag as seen below

<messages>
    <lang>en</lang>
    <file>messages.properties</file>
</messages>
<messages>
    <lang>es</lang>
    <file>messages_es.properties</file>
</messages>
