Why does Magento's translations fail after an unsuccessful payment transaction?

we are using magento with onestepcheckout module in our shopping system. But when the payment process fails and when we get an error about payment, not all but some translations fails on the checkout page.

Has anybody face this problem before. I will be very happy if there is an solution.

P.S. I can solve the situation by hard-coding the translations. But I dont want to use 开发者_JS百科this method.

Thank you

When a module developer creates a module, it's up to them to make sure that each and every phrase that could be translated is marked for translation. In Magento this means

1. Strings in template files are passed through the ->__ method

2. Labels, parameters, and other strings in XML fiels are marked with translate attribute

As an individual developer, if you're not developing applications/modules intended for translation it's easy to fall into the habit of not doing the above. Also, the areas of Magento's XML configuration system that can (vs. can't) be translated aren't well documented. It's easy to miss a string or two, and localization (along with everything else) is almost never tested.

All of which is a long way of saying, contact your vendor and file a bug. If you want to play capitalism, since you've already hard-coded the translations, fix the core problem yourself and offer to sell the solution back to the onepage people.
