# Jun 4th 2021, 19:33 kevin.pfeifer and select "Update from POT File"
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:32 kevin.pfeifer then in the menu at top go to "Catalogue"
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:32 aengblom ok
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:32 kevin.pfeifer open that with poedit
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:32 kevin.pfeifer ok good, so you have a default.po file
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:32 aengblom yes, poedit
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:31 kevin.pfeifer PoEdit?
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:31 kevin.pfeifer with what file do you edit/translate your .po file
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:31 kevin.pfeifer :)
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:31 aengblom Ok, this is where I am fuzzy
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:30 kevin.pfeifer and you updated your .po file in your language with that new .pot file
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:30 aengblom Yep
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:29 kevin.pfeifer and inside your .pot file does the file/line also appear in the comments for that string?
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:28 aengblom Yep, I did the extract command
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:27 kevin.pfeifer do you generate your `.pot` file with the cake cli as well?
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:25 aengblom Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately that didn't do it. I'm fairly new to this translating stuff. I've been studying the cakephp docs on i18n. If anyone has any video resources on the topic they would like to share, I would appreciate it very much. I do much better with videos for some reason. Thanks!
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:17 kevin.pfeifer sometimes I need to do a `bin/cake cache clear_all` to have all newly tranlated strings be loaded correctly
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:13 aengblom Has anyone ever encountered certain strings not translating even when __() is used and the string is translated in the po file? Nearly everything else in the app is translating except for a few strings. I'm not sure what is going on
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:05 kevin.pfeifer sometimes its all just so flexible and can be re-used in so many places that it is hard to communicate a specific problem ^^
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:04 kevin.pfeifer but as you said Zuluru, Helpers are for Views (the V in MVC) :) However one decides to use that V :)
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:03 greg138 And hence my question. ;)
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:02 kevin.pfeifer sure. it depends what you define as backend and frontend :)
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:02 greg138 And helpers can obviously be used in the views for admin pages. :)
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:02 greg138 Some people consider "the admin pages" to be "backend", though...
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:01 kevin.pfeifer shared backend logic can be inside components for controller or behaviours for models
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:01 kevin.pfeifer the name "helper" in cakephp is mainly reserved for frontend logic
# Jun 4th 2021, 19:01 greg138 What do you mean by "backend"? Helpers are for views.
# Jun 4th 2021, 18:58 rightscoreanalysis Are Helpers for Cake mainly for the front end - since they reside in the 'view' folder. Does Cake not use Helpers for the backend?
# Jun 4th 2021, 18:47 kevin.pfeifer I am currently thinking about implementing an e2e testing framework into my cakephp app and was just wondering of someone here has already some (good or bad) experience with a specific one :)
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:48 kevin.pfeifer true that
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:43 admad I actually don't mind the naked BS in backends but greatly dislike the BS "smell" in fronted designs
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:43 kevin.pfeifer for the whole JS/SCSS generation
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:43 kevin.pfeifer i also "still" use gulp4 instead of webpack or any other modern package bundler because it has everything I need and is not that complicated :)
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:42 admad :+1:
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:40 kevin.pfeifer sure my approach definitely takes more time but for me its worth it :)
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:40 kevin.pfeifer sure its good to have basically everything you probably need in the future ready to just use it without the need to invest time for each "new" feature But I generally just dont like the bootstrap look aka. the "smell" :P
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:38 admad But it's good for backends
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:37 admad Sure is
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:37 kevin.pfeifer and think that bootstrap is overloaded AF
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:37 admad :clap:
# Jun 4th 2021, 16:37 kevin.pfeifer nope, I am one of those crazy people who has its own library/grid system and builds everything else from scratch
