Magento2: js-translation.json is not generated

[jaimestuardo]

I have Magento2 localized to es_ES. Translations work partially.

First of all, I have generated the CSV using Magento2 way but some translations were not included in CSV file.

Well.. for those non-translated sentences, I have being adding to the file manually.

The problem I always have is that js-translation.json file were not generated automatically. So I have created it manually and copied inside i18n/[company]/es_es/ folder, in the same location as CSV file.

With that action, that json file were copied automatically to pub/static folder, but today, I did that again, but it is impossible the json file to be copied.

I think this a bug in translation system.

Any workaround on this?

By the way. I am in development mode, with full cache disabled.

Regards
Jaime

Hi @jaimestuardo I have tried translations with latest develop branch and I can say almost all phrases are translated. Could you please use develop branch and let us know if this issue persists? Otherwise we can close :)

Hi, @antboiko!

I can confirm this issue still persist in 2.1.3 version. However in developer mode seems fine, while in production mode the generated file js-translation.json contains only []. Maybe this can help.

As a workaround it seems that deleting js-translation.json from pub/static/frontend/Magento/[theme]/[lang_code]/ allows "setup:static-content:deploy [lang_code]" to correctly generate the file.
