I'm trying to translate my application for it to work in both English and Spanish. But it only translates things that are in the app.component.html.
If i try to translate anything in any other component i get the error No pipe found with name 'translate'.
Here is my app.module.ts:
...other imports
import { HttpClientModule, HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { TranslateModule, TranslateLoader } from '@ngx-translate/core';
import { TranslateHttpLoader } from '@ngx-translate/http-loader';
//import { WOW } from 'wow.js';
export function HttpLoaderFactory(http: HttpClient) {
return new TranslateHttpLoader(http);
}
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
SecureComponent,
TopNavbarComponent,
FooterComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
AppRoutingModule,
PublicModule,
RouterModule,
MDBBootstrapModule.forRoot(),
NgwWowModule,
ChartsModule,
NgxIbanModule,
ReactiveFormsModule,
HttpClientModule,
HttpClientModule,
TranslateModule.forRoot({
loader: {
provide: TranslateLoader,
useFactory: HttpLoaderFactory,
deps: [HttpClient]
}
}),
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
In app-routing.module.ts i do:
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes),
TranslateModule
],
exports: [RouterModule,
TranslateModule]
})
Here is my app.component.ts:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NgwWowService } from 'ngx-wow';
import {TranslateService} from '@ngx-translate/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
constructor(private wowService: NgwWowService, private translate: TranslateService) {
this.wowService.init();
// the lang to use, if the lang isn't available, it will use the current loader to get them
translate.setDefaultLang('en');
// for default language to be english, you need to use below code
//translate.use('en');
}
So if i do this in my app.component.html:
<div>
<h1>{{ 'home.title' | translate }}</h1>
<!-- translation: translation pipe -->
<p>{{ 'home.text' | translate }}</p>
<!-- translation: directive (key as attribute)-->
<p [translate]="'home.text'"></p>
<!-- translation: directive (key as content of element) -->
<p translate>home.text</p>
</div>
It outputs the following:
Translation demo
This is a simple demonstration app for ngx-translate
This is a simple demonstration app for ngx-translate
This is a simple demonstration app for ngx-translate
but if i put the same html in home.component.html i get the error:
Error: src/app/public/home/home.component.html:4:25 - error NG8004: No pipe found with name 'translate'.
4 <h1>{{ 'home.title' | translate }}</h1>
~~~~~~~~~
src/app/public/home/home.component.ts:6:16
6 templateUrl: './home.component.html',
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error occurs in the template of component HomeComponent.
This is my home.component.ts:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {TranslateService} from '@ngx-translate/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: './home.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./home.component.scss']
})
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(private translate: TranslateService) {
}
ngOnInit(): void {
}
}
I don't understand why it wouldn't work since all of the relevant imports are the same for app.component and home.component. The translation texts are within assets/i18n/en.json and assets/i18n/es.json
You have to import TranslateModule in the module where there are the components where you use translate pipe
