Translate admin tabs (top menu items)

Tuesday 28 September 2010 12:34:08 am

Hello

I'd like to translate top menu items (tabs) for my extension, just like the default tabs, but I cannot figure out how to do this...

In menu.ini I found this comment :

# A list of the current navigation parts and their names
# Each entry consists of the identifier as key and the name
# as value.
# Note: If you wish to have the name translatable you will
#       need to create a dummy PHP file with the following in it
# ezi18n( 'kernel/navigationpart', 'Custom navigation', 'Navigation part' );
# This will cause the ezlupdate to include it in the .ts file.
[NavigationPart]
Part[ezcontentnavigationpart]=<span class="s1">Content structure
</span>Part[ezmedianavigationpart]=<span class="s1">Media library
</span>Part[ezusernavigationpart]=<span class="s1">User accounts
</span>Part[ezshopnavigationpart]=<span class="s1">Webshop
</span>Part[ezvisualnavigationpart]=<span class="s1">Design
</span>Part[ezsetupnavigationpart]=<span class="s1">Setup
</span>Part[ezmynavigationpart]=<span class="s1">My account</span>

I'm quite confused with this :-/

Thanks Thiago for your reply.

Unfortunately this does not seem to work :(. Which eZ Publish version is your example working with ?

menu.ini.append.php :

[NavigationPart]
Part[sqliimportnavigationpart]=Import management

[TopAdminMenu]
Tabs[]=sqliimport

[Topmenu_sqliimport]
NavigationPartIdentifier=sqliimportnavigationpart
Name=Import management
Tooltip=Manage your imports

Translation.ts :

<context>
    <name>design/admin/parts/sqliimport/menu</name>
    <message>
        <source>Import management</source>
        <comment>Navigation part</comment>
        <translation>Gestion des imports</translation>
    </message>
</context>

And of course my extension is enabled for translations ;-)

i checked some really early revisions of the topmenu operator and the design/admin2/templates/page_topmenuitem.tpl. There is no translation for custom tabs in it but if the translation file is missing I get a debug warning:

Missing translation for message in context: 'kernel/navigationpart' with comment: 'Navigation part'. The untranslated message is: 'MyTabName'

To me this means that translation happens somewhere but the output in the template is wrong. I am using 4.4.

There are some hints about this topic in settings/menu.ini but I couldn't find the solution yet.

cheers.
