  • Hi! I tried your solution but I found an easier way! For this to work you should have wp-cli installed on your machine. The wp-cli commandos I list here I run through my package.json which makes it even easier.

    Step 1.
    Make sure your block.json files have the text domain you use in your theme/plugin as well.

    Example block.json file, note the textdomain.

    {
    "$schema": "https://schemas.wp.org/trunk/block.json",
    "name": "acf/accordion",
    "title": "Accordion",
    "description": "Accordion (formerly known as FAQ)",
    "category": "wp-lemon-blocks",
    "icon": "lightbulb",
    "keywords": ["FAQ", "frequently", "asked", "questions", "accordion", "toggle", "collapsible", "expand", "collapse"],
    "apiVersion": 2,
    "style": "file:./index.css",
    "script": "file:./index.js",
    "textdomain": "wp-lemon",
    "acf": {
        "mode": "preview"
    },
    "supports": {
        "mode": false
    }
}

    Step 2.
    Run the following command to create your pot translation base file. Make sure you set the path correctly to your preffered translation directory and have the name of the file the same as your text domain.

    wp i18n make-pot . resources/languages/wp-lemon.pot --slug=wp-lemon --domain=wp-lemon --exclude=node_modules,vendor

    Step 3.
    Create a translation file from the pot file. I used Poedit to create a nl_NL.po file in my resources/languages/ directory. Translate some first string to test. Once you save your translated .po file, poedit will also create a .mo file

    Step 4.
    Load your translation files. I added the following in my functions.php

    function theme_initialize()
{
	load_theme_textdomain('wp-lemon', get_template_directory() . '/resources/languages/');
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'theme_initialize');

    Step 5.
    Profit?

    Additional
    If you update a string or add a new block for example, run the make-pot command first and the update-po afterwards. Now run poedit on your po files and translate the files again. Make sure the .mo files are updated as well on save.

  • Hi lepardman,

    Thank you for your response! I will take a deep dive into the translation part this week since I am in the middle to convert my library of blocks to the ACF v2 blocks. I will try to debug your solution or find another one. If I have any success, I will let you know!

  • I am running into the same problem. Did you find a solution with using Poedit?

  • Not in my case but it normally goes into a function file yes. You can also try with another browser to login. Sometimes the caching gets in the way.

  • I’ve managed to fix it. I included JS in the backend as well and listed ‘acf-blocks’ as a dependency in the enqueue_block_editor_assets hook. Once that one was deleted it was working fine again.

  • I have the same question! I would really like to prepare with this new function. 🙂

    Edit: so I installed the Early access version of ACF (non-pro) and it doesn’t have the acf_register_block function either. So it hasn’t dropped yet in both versions. I really though it was already there when I was reading the article 🙁

    Any word from the developers when this is going to land?
