Add translation for a plugin

Question

The site that I am working on is using he_IL as primary language of the theme (I think). I installed a plugin which only has en_US.csv its i18 folder

I added an he_IL.csv in the i18l folder, but I don't see that it is picked up in the UI.

I tried running these commands, and refresh the UI (ctrl-f5) but it is still not working.

php bin/magento setup:di:compile 
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f en_US he_IL --language en_US --language he_IL 
php bin/magento cache:clean; php bin/magento cache:flush

I checked, and the string that I want to replace is wrapped in __() inside the phtml file.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Create some new translations with:

php bin/magento i18n:collect-phrases -o     app/code/Company/Module/i18n/he_IL.csv app/code/Company/Module

This will create the csv file that you want, in the place it has to be and with the translation strings that you need.

If your __() is not in there then you will need to look at your code.
