translate custom strings

[agiorgini]

Hi,

using 2.2.2. I installed italian language pack and configured store views, all the standard magento string are correctly showing in italian. Then I have some custom string, this is what I did:

- ran command

php bin/magento i18n:collect-phrases app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/

which gave me the output:

"You could be also interested in","You could be also interested in"
Dictionary successfully processed.

then I created app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/i18n/it_IT.csv:

"You could be also interested in","Potrebbe interessarti anche"

and obviusly in phtml:

<h2><?php echo __('You could be also interested in'); ?></h2>

which doesn't get translated. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Hi Rakesh,

thanks for your answer. I'm in developer mode, so why force the deploy?

Thanks a lot

For changes of locale translations if your chamges are not applied at that time you need to do a deployment to got changes in your site.
