<\/div>
app\/design\/frontend\/THEME_VENDOR\/theme_name\/i18n\/en_US.csv<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nName the file to include the target language code. This is an example file with a German translation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
app\/design\/frontend\/THEME_VENDOR\/theme_name\/i18n\/de_De.csv<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 2. Translate the phrases according to the requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While translating, make sure all the strings in your .csv file start and end with double quotes, and are separated with comma [,], not semi-colon [;] or any other mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\"Add to Cart\", \"Translated Text\"<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou can change the default theme strings according to the requirements of your website, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\"My Cart\",\"My Basket\"\n\"My Account\",\"Your Account\"<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nAll the lines are case-sensitive, you should copy the phrase exactly as it is in the “en_US” version. In the source “en_US” version the text looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\"%s Item(s)\",\"%s Item(s)\"<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nWhereas the translated text should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\"%s Items\",\"%s Product(s)\"<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf you need to set off a word or phrase by quotation marks, put two double quotation marks for such a string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\"String\",\"Translated word\"<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nYou can also use HTML coding to alter your text. Check an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\"Warning!\",\"<strong style=\"color:red\">Attention!<\/strong>\"<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nStep 3. Save the CSV file in UTF-8 encoding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Make sure your text editor saves .csv file in UTF-8 encoding, as it supports different alphabets. If you edit the file using Excel, convert it into UTF-8 encoding once you finish editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to translate the same element differently for different pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While performing translation in this file – any word or phrase will be translated for the entire theme. If you need to translate the same element in different ways for different pages, you can use this example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>
\"Mage_Catalog:Add to Cart\",\"Add to Basket\"\n\"Mage_Checkout:Add to Cart\",\"Add to my shopping cart\"<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\nTo read more information about Magento 2 translations, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
