Translations

Theme templates can be fully localized with translations so that your store visitors are shown content in their local language. Use the t (translation) tag in your templates to access string translations in the locale files. Learn more about the t tag and theme Locale files.

Using Translations in Practice

The t tag accepts an initial argument that is the key reference to the translation string in a locale file.

<h2>{% t 'customer.orders.order_history' %}</h2>

Passing Variable Arguments to Translations

You can pass multiple named arguments to translations through the t tag used in the translation.

<h2>{% t 'customer.profile.welcome_msg' with name=request.user.first_name %}</h2>

Pluralization Support

The t tag accepts two arguments for pluralization:

• Pass the count argument with a value for cardinal pluralization, ie 1, 2, 3, 4.
• Pass the index argument with a value for ordinal pluralization, ie First, Second, Third, Forth.

Pluralization rules follow Unicode CLDR specification, available keys include:

• one
• other
• two
• zero
• few
• many

Cardinal Pluralization

Cardinal pluralization can be used to display different translations based on the value passed to count.

<h2>{% t 'customer.notifcations.total' with count=notification.count %}</h2>

Ordinal Pluralization

Ordinal pluralization can be used to display different translations based on the index value to display the ordering of an object.

<h2>{% t 'customer.orders.orders_msg' with index=customer.orders.count %}</h2>
