October: Can't call "trans()" function on the views (Twig)

[ab192130]

Expected behavior

I've decided to make texts _inside views_ translatable with plugin lang files. So, when I use
{{ trans("acme.demo::lang.string.example") }}, I'm expecting translated string value on the actual view.

Actual behavior

But I encounter with "Unknown trans() function." exception instead. Testing "trans()" inside _Models_ or _Components_ is working without any issues.

October build

My current October build is: 382.

trans is only available in PHP. Check out the underscore twig filter from the translate plugin. There are different ways to provide translations. Maybe read up on it first https://octobercms.com/plugin/rainlab-translate

As a side note, while you can add a reference to Lang::get() (which is effectively the implementation of trans() as a twig function / filter to accomplish what you desire, there is one issue with doing it that way. It's going to use your backend language settings on a frontend view; that's not going to have your intended results.

Like @jBOKA said, look into frontend translation via RainLab.Translate.

Thank you so much! It's more clear for me now :)
I'll try the twig filter of RainLab.Translate as fast as possible.

|trans is a filter in the system

{{ "acme.demo::lang.string.example"|trans }}
