Problem/Motivation

Easy Email is a wonderful and useful module. It also comes with beautiful templates for text modules, which we have already translated in the core.

However, since Easy Email has been used in Drupal CMS, the module is no longer enjoyable to use.
Why?

Every time I set up a website with Drupal CMS, really every single time, I have to create translations for each individual email type that can be found under:

/admin/structure/email-templates/templates.

That's 18 translations every time, for every single installation I have to do, because the corresponding strings are not available on the translation server, where I would have to translate them just once to then have these standard translations available in my native language after activating the module or installing Drupal CMS, without having to translate them manually every time.

In addition, I also have to adjust the label of the template and the subject of the respective template at least once.
This takes up a lot of time.

Please excuse me if this sounds a bit annoyed, but it really isn't fun.
How difficult do you think it would be to provide a fix for this problem? Could we perhaps eliminate this time-consuming task by providing a fix for the module? Please?

Thank you very much.

Steps to reproduce

Install Drupal CMS in another language then English e.g. Spanish using drush --locale=es
login as administrator
goto /admin/structure/email-templates/templates
see that the E-Mail-Tempates are still englisch
goto localise.drupal.org join a translation team e.g. the team for spanish
try to find the corrosponding ui strings on the server
...

Proposed resolution

add some t() functions wherever they needed
re-release the module so pox can do it's magic

crate patch

User interface changes

I moved your previous issue on this topic to the correct project for it: #3496717: Add translations for default templates. (The templates are in the recipe used by Drupal CMS, not in this module.)

Unfortunately, no one has provided translations in the interim since you posted that issue. As I said in my comment in there, I'm not sure what the process is for getting the translations for the easy email templates into l.d.o. (It may be possible to ship translations with the recipe, as an alternative, but I'm not sure.)

In any case, I don't current maintain any multilingual sites, and I'm not proficient enough in other languages to do these translations. It sounds like you have translations for at least Spanish, so perhaps you could open a MR on the other issue to provide your translations.

Closing this as a duplicate. Future comments should be posted on #3496717: Add translations for default templates.
