Issue

  • I cannot find certain language keys. How can I find them?

Environment

  • DXP 7.0+

Resolution

There are multiple ways to find keys.

Based on the Translation 

  1. Go to our translation platform, Crowdin
  2. Join the project (this may take some time to be accepted)
  3. Browse our translations and click on the target language, e.g. Italian
  4. Search for the translation in the given language
  5. Copy the key from the string

Directly in the Source Code

Go to our project on GitHub and find the module in the source code. For the EE version, please visit Downloads.

Each module should have its own separate language file.

Find the key based on the translation in the raw files.

For developers, it is recommended to download the source code and run it in an editor (e.g. in Liferay Developer Studio). Searching for the translation should be the easiest there.
