Form Element Translations Issue

[Jerry McG]

Hi,

I am not sure if this message should be posted in MVC or here, but anyways I am posting it on this forum.

I am using ZF version 1.5.2 and I perform internationalization using the gettext adapter. I have a separate PHP file that lists all default Zend Framework form validation errors and I call upon the translate object on them and translations work fine. However, whenever I perform translations of custom error messages within my form subclass, it's always the translated default Zend Framework form errors that get displayed and not my customized error messages.

I see that the fix mentioned for issue http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-3313 is already implemented in the current ZF release but I still face this issue.

All ZF default form errors are translated in a separate PHP file like this:
$a = $translator->errortranslate('isEmpty');
$a = $translator->errortranslate('NotEmpty');
$a = $translator->errortranslate('regexNotMatch');

Customized error message in my form subclass looks like this:
$email->addValidator('NotEmpty', true);
$email->getValidator('NotEmpty')->setMessage($translator->translate('Email cannot be empty'));
$email->setRequired(true);


Now, when the form is submitted with email left blank, the error displayed is the translated text for 'isEmpty' and not my customized error message. However, when I comment  the translation for 'isEmpty' in my default form errors file, my customized error message is displayed properly.
// $a = $translator->errortranslate('isEmpty');

Please advise.

Thanks!

Jerry

Please ask in the MVC list.
This seems to be a problem of Zend_Form as translation works like you
described in other parts of your application.

You could test this yourself by debugging.
Try to manually translate the error-text and look if you are getting the
translated message or not.
If not the problem is within your translation source, if yes the problem is
within the form component.
