How to "translate" Element Settings (for chunks, snippets, templates)?

I'd like to localize some settings and setting-descriptions for a chunk.

I created a new namespace "mycomp", pointed the core_path to {core_path}components/mycomp/, created that folder, inside another folder "lexicon", and inside that one another folder "en". There I created a file "default.inc.php" with the following code in it:



I switched over to my chunk, added the setting "postUrl" and set "mycomp" as lexicon for that setting. Unfortunately, the setting doesn't get translated and still only shows up as "postUrl" in the manager.

Am I missing something?

you have an single-quote inside a single-quoted string.
This will not work.
Try it like that:



And do you want to show your code, where you translate your settings in your chunk?

Hi Bruno,

found the typo, thanks. But still no luck :-/

I don't want to translate the settings inside the chunk itself, I want that the MODX manager translates the settings for users who edit the chunk.

If I'm understanding you, a better method is to go into Lexicon Management, select the namespace, language, and topic, and change the string there. The change will be stored in the DB. It will override what's in the language file and it will survive upgrades.
