Question

I am having difficulties translating the default user menu drop down which comes with SonataUserBundle. You can see the drop down menu in the screenshot below.

The admin_monogodb.yml contains:

<parameters>
    <parameter key="sonata.user.admin.groupname">sonata_user</parameter>
</parameters>

And the <services> contain the tag (shortened):

<tag 
    name="sonata.admin" 
    manager_type="doctrine_mongodb"
    group="%sonata.user.admin.groupname%" 
    label="users" 
    label_translator_strategy="sonata.admin.label.strategy.underscore"
/>

As with any other translation, I simply add a entry in the SonataUserBundle.nl.xliff:

<trans-unit id="sonata_user">
    <source>sonata_user</source>
    <target>Gebruikers111</target>
</trans-unit>

But it still shows sonata_user.

I have debugged the catalogue in Translator and it actually does contain the correct translation.

What’s going on?

Answer 1

After debugging deep in the Translator component, I was suprised to see that it was looking for the sonata_user translation in the SonataAdminBundle domain. I have moved the translation from the SonataUserBundle to the SonataAdminBundle and now it works.
