Yii2: How to translate a widget that is inside a module

I currently have a widget inside a module and I would like to create a messages directory so that I can translate module strings from inside that folder.

The issue I have is that I can't get the widget to get the translations from inside the module folder.

This is my structure

frontend/modules/comments
frontend/modules/comments/Module.php
frontend/modules/comments/widgets/CommentsWidget.php
frontend/modules/comments/widgets/views/_form.php

-Module.php

namespace frontend\modules\comments;

use Yii;

class Module extends \yii\base\Module {

    public $controllerNamespace = 'frontend\modules\comments\controllers';

    public function init() {
    parent::init();
    $this->registerTranslations();
    }

    public function registerTranslations() {
    Yii::$app->i18n->translations['modules/comments/*'] = [
        'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
        'sourceLanguage' => 'en',
        'basePath' => '@frontend/modules/comments/messages',
        'fileMap' => [
        'modules/comments/comments' => 'comments.php',
        ]
    ];
    }

    public static function t($category, $message, $params = [], $language = null) {
    return Yii::t('modules/comments/' . $category, $message, $params, $language);
    }

}

I use the following code to call the translation.

Module::t('comments', 'COMMENT_REPLY')

But it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Have same problem. It's because you register translations is in init() method (when instance of module was created). You can change registerTranslations() method to static:

public function init()
{
    // ...

    self::registerTranslations();
}

public static function registerTranslations()
{
    // ...
}

And call it Content::registerTranslations(); in your widget before use Module::t().
