    To solve this you need to tell xgettext to use PHP as language for your files (when using file extensions like .phtml or similar.

    In Poedit open the settings, go to the parser tab, select PHP and then click edit. In the parser line with xgettext add --language=PHP so it looks like this:

    xgettext --language=PHP --force-po -o %o %C %K %F

    Maybe you need to add some extensions of PHP files to the extension input field above that occur in your project, for example:

    *.php;*.phtml

    This should be enough.
