Add and modify fr_FR.csv

[AnthonyIp]

Hi guys!

I'm new to magento and I'm trying to add few translations for third party module.
My /app was kinda empty because I installed it throught composer aso everything is in the vendor.

My question is how do I override the fr_FR.csv ?

I tried to create the folder /app/i18n/Mageplaza/fr_fr/ and put it ther my fr_FR.csv then

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f fr_FR;
php bin/magento c:c;
php bin/magento c:f;

but it doesn't change anything....

Any solution ?

Thanks

@AnthonyIp
If you want to add custom translation on your website (for Front only, not Admin), you can add in a fr_FR.csv located in app\design\frontend\Sm\market\i18n (where Sm\market is yout Theme folder)
Then, flush and it should be good :)

I'm using the default theme (luma) which is located in vendor folder.
I don't really know the correct path, I should put on /app folder because mine is pretty empty.

@AnthonyIp , you should never put or modify codes in the vendor folder, because when you will update a plugin, it will delete everything.
For the luma Theme, you should put your file in "app/design/frontend/Magento/luma/i18n /fr_Fr.csv (if it doesn't exist, you can create it ;)

I just did what you mentioned and I still have the sentence "You added %1 to your shopping cart." when I added an item to the cart.

In the fr_FR.csv, I have

You added %1 to your shopping cart.,Vous avez ajouté %1 à votre panier.,module,Magento_Checkout

[valentin-debris]

If the text to replace has more than 2 words, you have to add "" around. Also, maybe it's not the right module, try to remove the "module,Magento_Checkout".
The line should look like :
"You added %1 to your shopping cart.","Vous avez ajouté %1 à votre panier."

also, you have the flush the site everytime you change the file

If you follow the instructions of @valentin-debris but the problem is still not resolved, please try add this phrase to vendor/mageplaza/magento-2-french-language-pack/github_contributions.csv
Please note deploy your site after that.
