Can't add translation_domain to form field

[fadoe]

I try to add the translation domain to a form field:

params:
    fields:
        moduleName:
            formType: entity
            addFormOptions:
                class: MyBundle:MyEntity
                property: myProperty
                translation_domain: MyTranslationDomain

But the generated form type add always 'translation_domain' => 'Admin'. Is this a bug or is that intentional?

You should set it in i18n_catalog, eg:

params:
    model:              Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Note
    namespace_prefix:   Acme
    bundle_name:        DemoBundle
    i18n_catalog:       DemoNote

@loostro That's right, but i18n_catalog is for the complete form. In my case I want the translation domain for only one field. In the documentation from Symfony it's possible.

@fadoe i see your need. to answer your question: it was intentional. We assumed that if i18n_catalog is not specified, use Admin catalog. But it should be possible to overwrite that.. why it is not? Probably some bad code.

@fadoe Eg. see here Resources/templates/CommonAdmin/title.php.twig#L4 - the "translation_domain" is not even used. It's either i18n_catalog or default.

Come to think of it, at the time Admingenerator was created (symfony 2.0 times) I don't think all forms had "translation_domain" inherited property. I think they introduced that later, sometime between 2.1 and 2.2. And that might be why this code looks like this.

@loostro I see. The question is: Does it make sense to add this feature to the generator.yml? I see no BC break and the admin generator uses Symfony 2.2 and up.

[ioleo]

@fadoe if you have time to fix all the |default("Admin") in templates and replace them to use translation_domain (which, by default, should be "Admin", unless i18n_catalog is defined, then it should be set to i18n_catalog value) I'll gladly merge that

@loostro I note this issue. I will see when I have a few minutes time ;-)

@fadoe Waiting for a fix, you can use the getFormOptions function in your base XXXType
