Translate transactional emails

[sdussaut]

Hi!

I am trying to have the transactional emails translated to another locale than English but I can't make it work.

I am using the Simple Commerce builtin templates and simply added all the locale strings to lang/fr.json. My app locale is also set to fr.

Is there something I might be missing?

Thanks!

I haven't done it myself, but I believe other people have used Laravel's translations feature for this.

You'd need to move the existing strings in the emails to a translation file, then update your email view / notification class to use the translation string.

Then, when Simple Commerce sends emails, it'll attempt to use the translations relevant for the order's site.

I know that's a very brief overview of how I'd handle it, but hopefully these links are a bit more useful:

• https://laravel.com/docs/master/localization#defining-translation-strings
• https://statamic.dev/modifiers/trans#usage

But the builtin templates are already using Laravel translation system (or am I mistaken)?

simple-commerce/resources/views/emails/customer_order_paid.blade.php

Line 13 in 025bb36

| {{ __('Items') }} | {{ __('Quantity') }} | {{ __('Total') }} |

Oh, sorry, you're right!

What does your resources/sites.yaml look like? Is the locale set in there too?

That was it!
I had missed that one and it was set to fr_FR instead of fr.
Everything works fine now. Many thanks! :-)
