CakePHP cache i18n translate

caching, cakephp, internationalization, php

Solution

To force the language to update you can clear the `persistent` and `models` directories in the `/tmp/cache` directory. If view caching is enabled you'll have to clean out `views` as well.

Caching is disabled when `debug` is set to `2` (which is the value for using the framework during development) and the `persistent` directory is populated with new cache files, overwriting the old ones each time a view is loaded. So the `debug` switch and subsequent browser refresh might clean the old language files for you.

Problem

When I forget to translate something, somewhere Project VIEW, I change the file /app/Locale/por/LC_MESSAGES/default.po and sending it back to the server. But mostly, this 'new translation', takes HOURS to be viewed, in short: I just send the file, cleaned the cache and browser CakePHP, press F5, and ... NOTHING HAPPENS. For what reason? [EDIT] ``` <?php echo $this->Form->input('Item.0.description', array('label' => false, 'class' => 'span12', 'div' => array('class' => 'span7'), 'rows' => 3, 'placeholder' => __('Type the description'))); ?> ```
