locallangXMLOverride is not working

Question

I'm trying via ext_localconf.php of my own extension to override the locallang files for the news extension. So I placed in my own extension following lines:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'fileadmin/template/html/news/Private/Language/locallang.xlf';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['sw']['EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'fileadmin/template/html/news/Private/Language/sw.locallang.xlf';

That just works for the default file.

When I'm writing

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'fileadmin/template/html/news/Private/Language/locallang.xlf';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf']['sw'] = 'fileadmin/template/html/news/Private/Language/sw.locallang.xlf';

then its using the second file for everything. Trying to override EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/sw.locallang.xlf doesn't work either.

When I switch the both lines above its using the default file in every language. I also created a file sw.locallang.xlf in news extension so that this exists. But ofcourse I dont want to need this file there because of the update issue.

I tried a lot of other codes too I could found, but nothing worked for me.

Somebody knows the correct way to use this translation files? Its TYPO3 7.6

Did you try to remove the second line? Form my experience it is not needed. Once you define a an override like this: `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'fileadmin/template/html/news/Private/Language/locallang.xlf';` it should work for all translations as well, as soon as they are located under same folder as main override file. — Viktor Livakivskyi, Dec 07 '16 at 12:41

Only implement the default path in your ext_localconf

 $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'EXT:yourExtension/Resources/Private/Language/News/locallang.xlf';

then create one locallang.xlf in the directory and a sw.locallang.xlf

locallang.xlf

<xliff version="1.0">
    <file source-language="en" product-name="your_extension_news">
        <header/>
        <body>
            <trans-unit id="optin_seeMail">
                <source>thank you</source>
            </trans-unit>
        </body>
    </file>
</xliff>

sw.locallang.xlf

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xliff version="1.0">
    <file source-language="en" target-language="sw" product-name="your_extension_news">
        <header/>
        <body>
            <trans-unit id="optin_seeMail">
                <target>Danke schön</target>
            </trans-unit>
        </body>
    </file>
</xliff>

still works perfectly with TYPO3 11.5 – digijay Oct 26 '22 at 13:48 — digijay, Oct 26 '22 at 13:48

The language key has to be specified before the language file like this:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['sw']['EXT:news/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] =
   'fileadmin/template/html/news/Private/Language/sw.locallang.xlf';

I'd recommend to put language files in an extension. Note: the extension with the language file must be installed.

I have also fetch this issue while override language files of core extensions I have found one solution and its working for me First, make new file /typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php. This file will be loaded every-time by typo3.

Then put code this code in it

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['EXT:indexed_search/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'fileadmin/templates/indexed_search/Language/de.locallang.xlf';

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locallangXMLOverride']['fr']['EXT:indexed_search/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf'][] = 'fileadmin/templates/indexed_search/Language/fr.locallang.xlf'

What does one have to do with that code? Put it in the new file? You can [edit] your answer to clarify that. – Baum mit Augen May 05 '17 at 20:28
As I know that Typo3 will load AdditionalConfiguration.php file every-time and if you put above code in em_localconf.php then it will load when extension loaded or just one time when extension is installed Thank you!! – gautamsinh mori May 08 '17 at 09:50
