I cannot make the module translation strings to be considered, unistalling and installing the module again.

Is the indicated .po relative path correct?

in my module blockForm function i have : 

  $form['retrieval_method'] = array(
    '#type' => 'fieldset',
    '#title' => $this->t('Retrieval Method'),
  );

my .info.yml

name: 'amu hal'
type: module
description: display publications from HAL
core: 8.x
version: 8.x-3.0
package: AMU
project: 'amu_hal'
interface translation project: amu_hal
interface translation server pattern: modules/amu_hal/translations/%language.po

and in

/sites/mysite/modules/amu_hal/translations/fr.po :

msgid "Retrieval Method"

msgstr "Méthode d'extraction"

i have activated the core interface traduction module and the

/fr/admin/reports/translations

tells me Missing translations for 11 projects:

amu hal (8.x-3.0). File not found at modules/amu_hal/translations/fr.po

    The keys are on the left, so 'interface translation project': amu_hal, for example

Thanks to comments and doc , i have moved the whole module in modules/custom/ and for info file: 

name: 'amu hal'
type: module
description: display publications from HAL
core: 8.x
version: 8.x-3.0
package: AMU
project: amu_hal
'interface translation project': amu_hal
'interface translation server pattern': modules/custom/amu_hal/translations/amu_hal-%language.po

Placing the po file at

modules/custom/mymodule/translations/mymodule-fr.po

now i could update the translation at

/fr/admin/reports/translations

and make string translations

Note that the same po file is not found if the module is placed in sites/mysite/module

    public:// means file upload directory, usually .../sites/default/files/..., I've successfully used a relative path from web root in my own module: modules/custom/MY_MODULE/translations/MY_MODULE-%version-%language.po

  • The ' seems to be very important for the key on the right side: 'interface translation server pattern': (correct) vs interface translation server pattern: (not correct)

  • Following works: interface translation server pattern: modules/custom/module/translations/module.%language.po, just remember to clear cache after changing info file
