Hello! 
I have a question regarding translation of single views.
Lets say you create a single action + view in some subdirectory.
Just for example I take the login action:
app\mycode\actions\LoginAction.php
[spoiler]
namespace app\mycode\actions;
use Yii;
use yii\base\Action;
use app\mycode\models\LoginForm;
class LoginAction extends Action
{
public function run()
{
if (!\Yii::$app->user->isGuest) {
return $this->controller->goHome();
}
$model = new LoginForm();
if($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->login()) {
return $this->controller->goBack();
}
else {
return $this->controller->render('@app/mycode/views/login', [
'model' => $model,
]);
}
}
}
[/spoiler]
This action has this related view:
app/mycode/views/login.php
[spoiler]
<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\bootstrap\ActiveForm;
$this->title = 'MyCode Login';
$this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = $this->title;
?>
<div class="site-login">
<h1><?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></h1>
<p>Please fill out the following fields to login:</p>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
'id' => 'login-form',
'options' => ['class' => 'form-horizontal'],
'fieldConfig' => [
'template' => "{label}\n<div class=\"col-lg-3\">{input}</div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-8\">{error}</div>",
'labelOptions' => ['class' => 'col-lg-1 control-label'],
],
]); ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'username') ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'password')->passwordInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'rememberMe', [
'template' => "<div class=\"col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-3\">{input}</div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-8\">{error}</div>",
])->checkbox() ?>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-offset-1 col-lg-11">
<?= Html::submitButton('Login', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary', 'name' => 'login-button']) ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
<div class="col-lg-offset-1" style="color:#999;">
You may login with <strong>admin/admin</strong> or <strong>demo/demo</strong>.<br>
To modify the username/password, please check out the code <code>app\models\User::$users</code>.
</div>
</div>

Now I want to translate this view file.
But if possible I want to store the translation under:
app/mycode/messages/
The guide suggested:
So I created: app/mycode/views/de/login.php
And it worked - but what if I have to do for example changes on the form inside the view?
Then I have to rewrite all the view files in the sub-directories.
Seems not like the best way to me.
So my questions are:
[list=1]
[*]Is there a nice way how I can use Yii:t inside this view and store the messages under /app/mycode/messages?
[*]Or can I somehow change the "basePath" for translations on the fly?
[*]What is the best solution / correct way to do this?
[/list]
I would appriciate some help here.
Thanks and best regards
