I\'m new to TYPO3 and starting out with 8.7 LTS. I have created several forms with the default \"form\" extension. My site requires some of these forms to be translated into
Here an example, like I use on a page:
For frontend translation add this to your typoscript setup:
plugin.tx_form {
settings {
yamlConfigurations {
100 = EXT:my_site_package/Configuration/Yaml/CustomFormSetup.yaml
}
}
}
"my_site_package" has to be an existing and activated TYPO3 extension
then make an yaml file under my_site_package/Configuration/Yaml/CustomFormSetup.yaml

# default translation files for the frontend

and have some translation files in my_site_package/Resources/Private/Language

this is yaml from the form I am using:
renderingOptions:
submitButtonLabel: Senden
type: Form
identifier: ticketbestellung
label: Ticketbestellung
prototypeName: standard
renderables:
-
renderingOptions:
previousButtonLabel: 'previous Step'
nextButtonLabel: 'next Step'
type: Page
identifier: page-1
label: Page
renderables:
-
defaultValue: ''
type: Text
identifier: objekt
label: Objekt
properties:
fluidAdditionalAttributes:
placeholder: Objekt
required: required
validators:
-
identifier: NotEmpty
Some translation key, which are hard to find:
for Submit Button
element.Form.renderingOptions.submitButtonLabel
element.ticketbestellung.renderingOptions.submitButtonLabel
for Subject in E-Mail finisher
finisher.Email.subject
(workaround, working also before Version 8.7.5)
finisher.EmailToReceiver.subject
(should be the solution was buggy till Version 8.7.5)
This answer would be not possible without the help from manuel-selbach in the TYPO3 Slack.
There is a (work in progress) documentation for the new Form Framework introduced with TYPO3 CMS 8 LTS.
You can find the translation docs here: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/drafts/code.tritum.de/TYPO3.CMS/Form_Documentation/Concepts/FrontendRendering/Index.html#translation
Here is how you register this file: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/drafts/code.tritum.de/TYPO3.CMS/Form_Documentation/Concepts/Configuration/Index.html#yaml-registration
Here you can find information about "What is a site package": https://de.slideshare.net/benjaminkott/typo3-the-anatomy-of-sitepackages
And here you can find more information about the Architecture of Extensions: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/ExtensionArchitecture/Index.html
Most of the form documentation (first and second link) is already translated to english, but some parts are still in german.
I know this is a lot of stuff to read, but after reading you will have a basic knowledge about "How to build a website with TYPO3 (and translate the forms).
