How to get the translated term name by tid?

Question

I'm looking for a working method to get the translated term name by tid.

The following code returns the original term name but not the translation.

global $language;

$lang_name = $language->language; // en

$term_id = 788;

$term = i18n_taxonomy_term_get_translation($term_id, $lang_name);

Most examples provided in "how to get the translated taxonomy term programmatically?" seem not work for Drupal 7.

Answer 1

I managed to make it work! This is my code

$tree = taxonomy_get_tree(9); // Your taxonomy id

foreach ($tree as $term) {
  if (module_exists('i18n_taxonomy')) { //To not break your site if module is not installed
    $term = i18n_taxonomy_localize_terms($term); // The important part!
  }
  print l($term->name, 'taxonomy/term/' . $term->tid); //print the terms
}

That sould do it! Diadeuf!

I had the same problem with localized taxonomy term translations. If you have your "Multilingual options" translation mode set to "Localize", then it's pretty straightforward.

Let's say your term id is 788 like the OP's, then just do something along these lines:

  $i18n_object = i18n_get_object('taxonomy_term', 788);
  $target_langcode = 'de';
  $translated_term = $i18n_object->localize($target_langcode);

Answer 3

You should use the i18n_taxonomy_localize_terms() function. This is the working code for me:

$tid = 10;
$term = taxonomy_term_load($tid);
$translated_term = i18n_taxonomy_localize_terms($term);
print $translated_term->name;

Knibals code shows how to translate a full vocabulary tree. This code snippet shows how to translate one specific term.

$term = taxonomy_term_load($tid);
$translated_term = i18n_taxonomy_term_get_translation($term, $langcode);

If you want to use it as Function..

function _get_term_name_translate($tid) {
  $term = i18n_taxonomy_localize_terms(taxonomy_term_load($tid));
  return $term->name;
}
