Hello there,
What is the canonical way (if there is any) of overriding some entries for translations in plone.app.locales?
I have a policy package, with a locales folder, and I tried to add an updated plonelocales.po there, but it seems the version on plone.app.locales always wins.
Ensure your package is loaded in zcml before plone.app.locales:
<i18n:registerTranslations directory="locales" />
eggs and esp. in zcml section your package is the only or at least first one (esp. no Plone/Products.CMFPlone)z3c.autoinlcude featuresSee alternative instructions here:
You can add a locales folder in your buildout folder
There you place po files with same name as the file you want overwrite
After doing that, you may need to add the following line in your configure.zcml just after the i18n:registerTranslations directive:
<include package="Products.CMFPlone" />
We were just biten by this.
To override the image type names in TinyMCE image insert dialog I
<include package="Products.CMFPlone" />No effect. As it is part of the TinyMCE stuff. Do I need to recompile resources? Or what do I miss?
Two things:
locales/plone.po which did not work. In your case for English it would need to be: locales/en/LC_MESSAGES/widgets.po.widgets-en is in localStorage and remove it.Removing widget-de from LocalStorage helped to see the modified translation. Thank you @maurits!
The suggestion from Maurits worked for me too - except for the content of the Favorites menu in the RelatedItemsFieldWidget:
"Current Content" and "Start Page" are in the plone domain (plone.po), but adding these to my overrides have no effect. (Other overrides in the same .po file does have an effect).
I assume they are also buried deep down in some compiled javascript - any tricks for these ones?
Best,
Sune
you can override this with your widgets directive, see mockup/src/pat/relateditems at master · plone/mockup · GitHub
If needed, you can use a function to return the correct values...
directives.widget(
'related_image',
RelatedItemsFieldWidget,
pattern_options = {
'recentlyUsed': True,
'basePath' : default_base_path,
'mode' : 'auto',
'favorites' : default_pattern_options,
'folderTypes': ['Folder', 'LIF', 'LRF'],
'selectableTypes' : ['Image'],
}
)
Great! I will try it out. Thank you @mtrebron
Hi!
I'm trying to override a translation of z3c.form in my local package. I've downloaded a copy for z3c.form.po in my local package locales/it/LC_MESSAGES/z3c.form.po, keep the headers, removed all the translations but the one I want to change. I've also this in configure.zcml:
<i18n:registerTranslations directory="locales" />
<include package="Products.CMFPlone" />
but I can't see my translation, the z3c.form wins. This is the header:

EDIT: I've tested with plone.po and it does not override the translation I've copied.
Try adding <include package="z3c.form" /> in your ZCML before you register your package's translations, to make sure they load in the right order. I'm not sure if this will solve it, but it might.
I forgot to add that I tried it too but didn't worked.
@erral do the overrides works for you in a plain 6.0.13 Plone installation? I tried with buildout.coredev, copying the custom z3c.form in src/plone.app.locales, then adding the zcml = plone.app.locales in buildout.cfg and it worked (no need to add <include package="Products.CMFPlone" /> in configure.zcml). But in a Plone 6.0.13 buildout installation with a custom product, no way.
The order of loading packages in ZCML is important:
Your ZCML needs to be included before the one from plone.app.locales. The first translation of a msgid wins. To manage this, you can include the ZCML in the buildout:
In your case, your translation should be included before z3c.form's.
Have you tried checking that?
It worked. What I was doing wrong is that I had an empty zcml = below in my buildout.cfg, overriding the one with my local product. This was then used in the instance base template. Following the docs carefully lead me to find the problem.
Sorry for the noise, and thanks all for the support.
We can say that the documented procedure works in Plone 6?
Absolutely yes.
I don't like it much because loading zcml first is about the whole package and not only about translations, and seems a little obscure but works.
