Check translate.js

frappe/translate.js at develop · frappe/frappe · GitHub[quote=“Nisma, post:1, topic:24601”]
if it does not exist How it does
[/quote]

if the translation is not present it returns the original text.

some messages contains some string that need translation like

msgprint((‘Mandatory fields required in {0}’, [(doc.parenttype
? ((frappe.meta.docfield_map[doc.parenttype][doc.parentfield].label) + ’ (‘+ __(“Table”) + ‘)’)
: __(doc.doctype))]) + ‘

  • ’ + error_fields.join(’
  • ') + “
”);
});

how it converts the language

Hi,

It calls the frappe._() function in frappe-web.min.js (frappe/public/js/frappe/translate.js)

frappe._ = function(txt, replace) {
    if(!txt)
        return txt;
    if(typeof(txt) != "string")
        return txt;
    var ret = frappe._messages[txt.replace(/\n/g, "")] || txt;
    if(replace && typeof(replace) === "object") {
        ret = $.format(ret, replace);
    }
    return ret;
};

I have entered an issue because frappe._message is empty, so it doesn’t translate anything…
