Hello,  
I am new to oxid and I have a problem with my simple module. It works fine except the translation. I have created translations folders ‘de’ and ‘en’ in: my\_module / Application / views / admin / [de/en]

Within each of them I have placed files my\_translation\_lang.php  
and the content looks like this :  
\<?php  
$sLangName = ‘Deutsch’;  
$aLang = [  
‘charset’ =\> ‘UTF-8’,  
‘MY\_MODULE\_VARIABLE’ =\> ‘Test’,  
];

when I try in my .tpl file to use this variable with [{oxmultilang ident=“MY\_MODULE\_VARIABLE”}]  
I get an error message ‘ERROR: Translation for MY\_MODULE\_VARIABLE not found!’  
Does anybody knows the reason?

Please clear the tmp folder, not only the smarty folder inside. After that your translations should be shown.
