I made a plugin with existing localization on WordPress.org for free. I migrated to block.json and made all changes by comparing it to the output of npx @wordpress/create-block todo-list. I read through the Block Editor guide on internationalization but there seem to be a few differences to the way it works in the todo-list example.
The result is that all my __ php functions work and translate all strings. But my __ JavaScript function does not translate any of the translation on translate.wordpress.org
What I tried and checked:
- block.json contains
"textdomain": "simpletoc" - edit.js contains
import { __ } from '@wordpress/i18n'; - plugin.php contains
Text Domain: simpletoc
I did not change it, but I use the __ function like this:
<ToggleControl
label={__("Remove heading", "simpletoc")}
The sad thing is that it worked before in version 4.8 without block.json but I want to avoid reverting to that. Amazingly, the description in block.json does get translated but not the __ functions in the code. I tried to use some things before doing that:
In the init hook I tried to use
function register_simpletoc_block()
{
wp_set_script_translations( 'simpletoc-js', 'simpletoc' );
register_block_type( __DIR__ . '/build' , [
'render_callback' => __NAMESPACE__ . '\\render_callback'
]);
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_simpletoc_block' );
I tried this but it does not work either:
wp_set_script_translations( 'simpletoc', 'simpletoc' );
or
wp_set_script_translations( 'simpletoc-toc-editor-script-js', 'simpletoc' );
since this is the script in the edit page of Gutenberg
But since I do not set "simpletoc-js" anymore, I have no idea if this is necessary. It would be really great if someone could explain or at least help me to debug this.
This is always empty:
<script id='simpletoc-toc-editor-script-js-translations'>
( function( domain, translations ) {
var localeData = translations.locale_data[ domain ] || translations.locale_data.messages;
localeData[""].domain = domain;
wp.i18n.setLocaleData( localeData, domain );
} )( "simpletoc", { "locale_data": { "messages": { "": {} } } } );
</script>
If I install my old 4.8 plugin this part contains data from translate.wordpress.org as usual.
- This tag works: https://github.com/mtoensing/simpletoc/archive/refs/tags/4.8.zip
- This tag does not (block.json) https://github.com/mtoensing/simpletoc/archive/refs/tags/5.0.1.zip
What am I missing?
