Hi, I have tried to use the Gii’s CRUD module. I wanted to create CRUD controller and views with i18n.
It is does not find the message source category, but why not?
I followed the guide, but I missing some informations in the guide.
Lets see, I create a Profile module and I added i18n like in Guide:
class Profile extends \yii\base\Module
{
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
public $controllerNamespace = 'frontend\modules\Profile\controllers';
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
public function init()
{
parent::init();
$this->registerTranslations();
}
public function registerTranslations()
{
Yii::$app->i18n->translations['modules/profile/*'] = [
'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
'sourceLanguage' => 'en-US',
'basePath' => '@frontend/modules/profile/messages',
'fileMap' => [
'modules/profile' => 'profile.php',
'modules/profile/validation' => 'validation.php',
'modules/profile/form' => 'form.php',
],
];
}
public static function t($category, $message, $params = [], $language = null)
{
return Yii::t('modules/profile/' . $category, $message, $params, $language);
}
}
The messages files are created under
-
frontend/modules/profile/messages/de/modules/profile.php
-
frontend/modules/profile/messages/es/modules/profile.php
-
frontend/modules/profile/messages/hu/modules/profile.php
So what are going to wrong? I have no idea. 
By the way I have frontend/config/i18n.php
// string, required, root directory of all source files
'sourcePath' => __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..',
// array, required, list of language codes that the extracted messages
// should be translated to. For example, ['zh-CN', 'de'].
'languages' => ['en-GB', 'de-DE', 'es-ES', 'hu-HU'],
// string, the name of the function for translating messages.
// Defaults to 'Yii::t'. This is used as a mark to find the messages to be
// translated. You may use a string for single function name or an array for
// multiple function names.
'translator' => 'Yii::t',
// boolean, whether to sort messages by keys when merging new messages
// with the existing ones. Defaults to false, which means the new (untranslated)
// messages will be separated from the old (translated) ones.
'sort' => false,
// boolean, whether to remove messages that no longer appear in the source code.
// Defaults to false, which means these messages will NOT be removed.
'removeUnused' => false,
// boolean, whether to mark messages that no longer appear in the source code.
// Defaults to true, which means each of these messages will be enclosed with a pair of '@@' marks.
'markUnused' => true,
// array, list of patterns that specify which files (not directories) should be processed.
// If empty or not set, all files will be processed.
// Please refer to "except" for details about the patterns.
'only' => ['*.php'],
// array, list of patterns that specify which files/directories should NOT be processed.
// If empty or not set, all files/directories will be processed.
// A path matches a pattern if it contains the pattern string at its end. For example,
// '/a/b' will match all files and directories ending with '/a/b';
// the '*.svn' will match all files and directories whose name ends with '.svn'.
// and the '.svn' will match all files and directories named exactly '.svn'.
// Note, the '/' characters in a pattern matches both '/' and '\'.
// See helpers/FileHelper::findFiles() description for more details on pattern matching rules.
// If a file/directory matches both a pattern in "only" and "except", it will NOT be processed.
'except' => [
'.svn',
'.git',
'.gitignore',
'.gitkeep',
'.hgignore',
'.hgkeep',
'/messages',
],
// 'php' output format is for saving messages to php files.
'format' => 'php',
// Root directory containing message translations.
'messagePath' => __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'messages',
// boolean, whether the message file should be overwritten with the merged messages
'overwrite' => true,
Least I have have the following configuration frontend/config/main.php
return [
'id' => 'app-frontend',
'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
'bootstrap' => ['log'],
'controllerNamespace' => 'frontend\controllers',
'components' => [
'user' => [
'identityClass' => 'common\models\User',
'enableAutoLogin' => true,
],
'i18n' => [
'translations' => [
'app*' => [
'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
'sourceLanguage' => 'en-US',
'basePath' => '@frontend/messages',
'fileMap' => [
'app' => 'app.php',
'app/error' => 'error.php',
],
],
],
],
// ...
],
'modules' => [
'Profile' => [
'class' => 'frontend\modules\Profile\Profile',
],
],
'params' => $params,
];
