[![](./Documentation/translate.png)](./Documentation/translate.png) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Either from TYPO3 TER or through composer `$ composer req r3h6/form-translator`. Integration ----------- [](#integration) If you like use machine translation by [LibreTranslate](https://libretranslate.com/)you must only configure an api host in the extension configuration. See available [mirrors](https://github.com/LibreTranslate/LibreTranslate#mirrors). How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) The extensions adds a translation file path to the \*.form.yaml file when localize through the backend module. ``` # example.form.yaml renderingOptions: translation: translationFiles: 99: fileadmin/form_definitions/l10n/example.xlf ``` Customized validation error messages are translated by overriding the form definition at runtime using the `afterBuildingFinished` hook from the form framework. Upgrade ------- [](#upgrade) ### From v2 an TYPO3 v12 [](#from-v2-an-typo3-v12) Rename language files prefixed with a locale like `de_DE.locallang.xlf`to the corresponding TYPO3 language `de.locallang.xlf`or setup a [custom language](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/Localization/ManagingTranslations.html#xliff-translating-languages). ### From v2 an TYPO3 v11 [](#from-v2-an-typo3-v11) No changes required. Known issues ------------ [](#known-issues) - [Issues on GitHub](https://github.com/r3h6/TYPO3.EXT.form_translator/issues) ### Transalte to English overrides the original form labels [](#transalte-to-english-overrides-the-original-form-labels) **Scenario:** German is used as default language and your form definition labels are in German too. When you translate a form to English, English will override your original labels even on the German version of your site. You have following options: 1. Create a (duplicated) German translation of the form 2. Add the English locale without charset to the extension configuration `typo3LanguageWhitelist` **Background:** Beginning with v12, TYPO3 uses the locale configured for the site to determine the language. For English, TYPO3 uses the file named `xyz.xlf`, it does not load a file named `en.xyz.xlf`, but it does for `en_US.xyz.xlf`.

If you need an other service, you can create your own by implementing `TranslationServiceInterface`. ### Health Score 41 — FairBetter than 87% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity35 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity76 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 87.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
