Translations text.php not working

[hugodeco]

After i update the file of my language (text.php), the interface does not update the values. There's something that i need to do after change this file ?

@hugodeco we manage all translations in Transifex here:

https://www.transifex.com/invoice-ninja/invoice-ninja/

We then periodically merge these into the backend and front end

@turbo124 - What then is the purpose of all the language files present under the folder ./lang in v5 of InvoiceNinja
In v4 these could be modified to tweak the text strings used in the application. How can that be done now? I have changed the files but the interface does not reflect the changes made...

@TimShaw61

In 5.5 we moved to Laravel 9 which moved (for some unknown reason) the lang folder from resources/lang to ./lang. Complicating matters is that if users don't remove resources/lang any changes are not shown, so if you have resources/lang you'll want to remove this folder completely.

The reason we manage the translations in transifex is to centrally manage all translations, you'll find if you modify the lang files directly, they will be overwritten when the next upgrade rolls in.

Thanks for the reply @turbo124 ! and I worked out that the language files had moved but my problem is that when I modify those files I do not see the changes I made appear in the web interface. Do I need to rebuild something to implement the changes I made? This was the original question of this discussion from @hugodeco I think...

@TimShaw61 the front end uses its own translations, i am assuming you want the changes to reflect in the admin portal?

[TimShaw61]

Yes, I'm using the invoice ninja web interface exclusively ( if that is what you call the admin portal) - not the client and I have made changes in the appropriate language file texts.php in ./lang/xxxx But these changes are not seen when using the web interface. I have cleared the cache, restarted the web server etc.etc. Does laravel require some sort of compilation to see the changes? In invoiceninja v4 I just changed the files and the changes were immediately visible...
