Using Neos & Flow

  1. I defined i18n values properly in my Headline.yaml
…
 ui:

    label: 'i18n' # 'Headline'

    icon: 'icon-header'

    group: 'article_general'

    position: 10

    help:

      message: 'i18n' # 'A normal Headline.'

    inspector:

      tabs:

        editTab:

          label: 'i18n' # 'Edit'

          icon: 'icon-pencil'

      groups:

        generalGroup:

          label: 'i18n' # 'General'

          tab: 'editTab'
…
  1. I created paths Resources/Private/Translations/en/NodeTypes/Content/Headline.xlf and Resources/Private/Translations/de/NodeTypes/Content/Headline.xlf

  1. I configured my Settings.CR.yaml
Neos:

  Neos:

    sitePresets:

      'default':

        uriPathSuffix: '' # prevent .html

        contentRepository: default

        contentDimensions:

          resolver:

            factoryClassName: Neos\Neos\FrontendRouting\DimensionResolution\Resolver\AutoUriPathResolverFactory

    sites:

      '*':

        contentDimensions:

          # the defaultDimensionSpacePoint is used when resolving the "/" URL.

          defaultDimensionSpacePoint:

            language: en_US

          resolver:

            factoryClassName: Neos\Neos\FrontendRouting\DimensionResolution\Resolver\UriPathResolverFactory

            options:

              segments:

                - dimensionIdentifier: language

                  dimensionValueMapping:

                    en_US: '' # default language → no prefix (/news)

                    de: de    # German → /de prefix          (/de/news)

    userInterface:

      translation:

        autoInclude:

          Custom.Site:

            - 'NodeTypes/*'

  ContentRepositoryRegistry:

    contentRepositories:

      default:

        contentDimensions:

          language:

            label: 'Language'

            icon: language

            values:

              'en_US':

                label: English

              'de':

                label: Deutsch

I tested and see always English labels translation, even if i switched to ‘de’ language. I tried to check https://demo.neos.io/ and there is the same problem with translation.

Hi,

the user interface language is defined in your user settings and can be changed there. The website language is switched with the dropdown in the user interface or in the frontend with your own switcher.

Hope this helps. There is no known error regarding the localisation of the node labels afaik.
