i18n extract does not create directories nor files in Symfony

I am trying to set up the i18n behavior on Symfony 1.4.18. I have some i18n-friendly strings (using the two underscores) in my frontend layout. I tried to run the command below :

$ ./symfony i18n:extract frontend fr --auto-save

At first, symfony found 17 strings, but didn't build the path apps/frontend/i18n/fr/ nor the file inside : messages.xml.

I re-ran the command above, but this time Symfony did not find any string. I thought, if Symfony does not find new strings, it might save it somewhere, so I ran another command on my Linux, to find any occurrences on one of my i18n strings (Typically I have this string : ) :

$ grep "Freelance" $(find ./)

This command was launched at the root of my project, but unfortunately it didn't find any occurrences except the one in my layout.

I don't know what to do anymore to solve my problem.

PS : I hope my english isn't too bad, it's not my native language, but I try to do my best.

  1. Do this in your project root:

    sudo find . -print | grep -i 'messages.xml'

  2. Then delete the file (s) you found (probably within sfDoctrinePlugin/i18n in the symfony vendor files)

  3. Use the settings from above for your factory.yml and settings.yml

  4. Restart task:

     php symfony i18n:extract frontend fr --auto-save

    That's all. Now the messages.xml is generated. Missing folders are created.

  5. (Revert the chmod changes you did before)

Try to add 

messageSource: '%SF_APP_DIR%/i18n'

option to your i18n factory configuration.

And look for your messages.xml in app_dir/i18n/your_culture. Old messages.xml where at vendor/symfony/lib/plugins/sfdoctrineplugin/i18n in my case

Try to set i18n source in factories.yml

Something like this:

  i18n:
  class: sfI18N
  param:
    source:               XLIFF
    debug:                false
    untranslated_prefix:  "[T]"
    untranslated_suffix:  "[/T]"
    cache:
      class: sfFileCache
      param:
        automatic_cleaning_factor: 0
        cache_dir:                 %SF_I18N_CACHE_DIR%
        lifetime:                  31556926
        prefix:                    %SF_APP_DIR%/i18n

here you can find more information.

Your default language is fr and you're trying to get the translations to fr?

The xml files should have the source string (in french - your default language) and target string (in english or whatever).

Try ./symfony i18n:extract frontend en --auto-save (or whatever language you want, other than french) and let us know if you'll get what you need.
