trans()
Twig Function
The trans() or __() function is the preferred way to translate strings in your theme, using the applications localization configuration. The localization strings can be loaded by passing the default translation of your string.
{{ __('I love programming.') }}
The trans() function is interchangable with the __() function.
{{ trans('I love programming.') }}
Replacing parameters in translation strings is possible by passing an array as the second argument. Every parameter is prefixed with a : character.
{{ __(':name loves programming.', { name: 'Jeff' }) }}
# Pluralization
The trans_choice() function is used to process pluralized values, where the second argument determines the count.
{{ trans_choice('There is one apple|There are many apples', 3) }}
The third argument can contain the parameters.
{{ trans_choice('{1} :value minute ago|[2,*] :value minutes ago', 5, { value: 5 }) }}
# Filter Syntax
The |trans, |_ and |__ filters are also available as an alternative to the function syntax, where |trans and |_ translate a string and |__ processes pluralized values.
{{ 'I love programming.'|trans }}
{{ 'I love programming.'|_ }}
{{ '{1} :value minute ago|[2,*] :value minutes ago'|__(1, { value: 1 }) }}
