Hello Strapi community!
I hope you’re all doing well. I’ve recently started working with Strapi and I’m eager to understand more about how translations work in this framework. Currently, I’m trying to utilize translations in a custom controller, and I have some questions. Could anyone help me understand how to use translations in Strapi?
My specific questions are:
- How do you use translations from Strapi variables in a controller?
- How can I add custom messages for translation in Strapi? Is the /src/admin/app.js file a good place for it?
I would appreciate any guidance, examples, or links to documentation on this topic. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
