How to extend language file en.po

Hello,

I'm trying to overwrite the "en.po" file. I copy the file from the vendor, and paste it inside the path:
"packages\theme2\i18n\currency\en.po". But it didn't accept the translation from this file.

What did I do wrong?

The .po files need to be compiled into the MO file format:

Code: Select all

msgmft -o en.po en

See here: https://aimeos.org/docs/latest/developer/translations/

executing this command "msgmft -o en.po en" returns this error message:

Code: Select all

'msgfmt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

OS: windows

For Windows, you need the Cygwin environement with the Gettext tools installed.

Alternatively, you can add your translations to your ./config/shop.php file:
