Summary

I wish there a way of translating blade files easily

Motivation

Why are we doing this?

blade files are central for the theme

What use cases does it support?

translation

What is the expected outcome?

pot files for translation

Potential conflicts / foreseeable issues

may need wp-cli fixing

Additional Context

In order to translate a theme there's the wp-cli command

wp i18n make-pot . ./resources/lang/sage.pot --ignore-domain --include="app,resources"

however, this doesn't work on blade files as wp-cli doesn't support them:

wp-cli/i18n-command#147

one workaround I tried is compiling to php and then referencing php cache

wp acorn view:cache && wp i18n make-pot . ./resources/lang/sage.pot --ignore-domain --include="app,../../cache/acorn/framework/views"

however, this doesn't work either, (because such folder is outside I guess)

So, there's this workaround: compiling, copying to current folder and translating

wp acorn view:cache
cp -r ../../cache/acorn/framework/views ./viewscache
wp i18n make-pot . ./resources/lang/sage.pot --ignore-domain --include="app,viewscache"
rm -rf viewscache

if being used in package.json with yarn translate:pot

  "scripts": {
    ...
    "translate:pot": "wp acorn view:cache && cp -r ../../cache/acorn/framework/views ./viewscache && wp i18n make-pot . ./resources/lang/sage.pot --ignore-domain --include='app,viewscache' && rm -rf viewscache"
  },

It works, but is so ugly.

Is there a recommended approach for translation?

I posted something similar not so long ago and it was a duplicate already. It's planned for the beta.4: #2672 and #2929

There is now a WIP PR for adding support in WP-CLI, see wp-cli/i18n-command#304
