Description

About https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/themes/reference/theme-translation/

Important pieces of information are missing:

  • When a theme contains .xlf files, how does their content find the way into the translation database.
  • How is the translation database working (which tables, relation to .xlf files)

The problem I'm having: My theme contains .xlf files, but none of the terms are known by the BO translation page.

Research direction

Start with the linked theme translation documentation and trace how a theme's .xlf files are handled before reaching the BO translation page. Identify the translation database tables and how they relate to .xlf content, then document that flow and explain why the reported terms are not available in the BO page.
