It is better to make your theme multilanguage ready. To help you with that starter comes preconfigured and ready for translating.
Your translation .po and .mo files should be stored in resources/languages directory.
Configuration
Translations are loaded by load_textdomain() function inside app/Setup/support.php component.
Project textdomain string can be configured inside config/app.php file with textdomain option.
Translation Strings
When project translations are properly loaded you can start making your theme multilanguage ready. You can retrieve sentences from language files using the __ gettext function.
echo __('Hello world!')Note! Instead of explicitly entering your project textdomain string you should take advantage of theme configuration. Use [config()]() helper function to pull textdomain directly from config/app.php file.
use function Tonik\Theme\App\config;
echo __('Hello world!', config('textdomain'))Translating
Inside resources/languages directory you will find tonik.pot. This is a template file for your new translation. Open it with an editor of your choice (like Poedit) and translate available sentences.
