Timber & WPML string translation

Question

Hi I'm using Timber and what it used to be as simple as

_e('string', 'theme')

to translate strings with WPML, seems to not been working on Timber any idea on how to translate strings?

I have tried the following and nothing is working

{{ _e('string') }} & {{ _('string') }}

{{ _e('string', 'theme') }}

{{ function("icl_translate", 'theme', 'string_identifier', 'string) }}

{{ dump(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) }} // Doesn't return anything, so not an option either

Thanks!

This is not related to either WPML or Timber... doesn't help me lot I think... — Mario Sanchez Maselli, Feb 22 '17 at 20:34

Yes I use this;

{{ __('All items', 'theme') }}

And it's working perfectly.

Ok, I deleted the string that I had already on the theme, re-scan for strings and it worked. Thanks a lot!!! – Mario Sanchez Maselli Mar 01 '17 at 11:59

I just did a quick test and was able to get this to work....

Created files with a translation for "thingy" ==> "foobar" in en_US.mo and en_US.po in wp-content/themes/mytheme/languages from there...

single.php

$lang_dir = get_stylesheet_directory().'/languages';
load_theme_textdomain('mytheme', $lang_dir);
Timber::render("single.twig");

single.twig

I like {{ __('thingy', 'mytheme') }}

Output

I like foobar

Try replicating that to see if it works. At least at that point we can isolate things to WPML versus native translate stuff
