One of the problems that you may encounter while migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 is the localization of letters. Usually, it is done simply by copying an email template to the appropriate folder. But what are you supposed to do if you have a multilingual site?
Method 1
This method is available in Magento 1 and implies the creation of new letter templates via Marketing > Email Templates.
Here you can create additional email templates, translate them, add additional text, etc.
After that you can assign these templates in the settings of a particular Store View.
You can do it for each email template.
This method is fairly simple, but can take quite some time.
During one of my project I did a backport of Magento 1 functionality, which somehow disappeared in Magento 2, specifically the assignment of your templates to a specific language. Earlier they were located in the folder with translations.
Method 2
Here is what you need to do to implement similar functionality in Magento 2:
- Override the Magento\Framework\View\Design\Fallback\RulePool class in one of your modules or a new one. In this class, you need to extend the createEmailTemplateFileRule method.

protected function createEmailTemplateFileRule() { return new Composite( [ $this->themeFactory->create( ['rule' => new Composite( [ $this->simpleFactory ->create([ 'pattern' => "<theme_dir>/<module_name>/email/i18n/<locale>", 'optionalParams' => ['locale'] ]), $this->simpleFactory ->create(['pattern' => "<theme_dir>/<module_name>/email"]) ] ) ] ), $this->moduleFactory->create( ['rule' => new Composite( [ $this->simpleFactory ->create([ 'pattern' => "<module_dir>/view/<area>/email/i18n/<locale>", 'optionalParams' => ['locale'] ]), $this->simpleFactory ->create(['pattern' => "<module_dir>/view/<area>/email"]) ] ) ] ), ] ); } |
- After that we can place our templates in the theme or in the module at <module_dir>/view/<area>/email/i18n/<locale> or <theme_dir>/<module_name>/email/i18n/<locale>.
Just like that you can save some time and effort when working with your email templates.
