Translation cakephp not working

Question

I'm trying to implement a translation in Cakephp but isn't working and don't show me any erros.

I have this HTML in a element

<a href="/sites/pages/servicos" target="_blank">
    <span class="title">Serviços</span>
    <div class="description"><?php __('o que fazemos') ?></div>
</a>

In App Controller inside beforeFilter():

Configure::write('Config.language', 'eng');

In my folder locale/eng/LC_MESSAGES/default.po I have this:

msgid "o que fazemos"
msgstr "What we do"

But isn't working... Thanks

Answer 1

I think you're just forgot "echo"

<?php echo __('o que fazemos'); ?>

Answer 2

Have you correctly generated the i18n files with the ./cake i18n command?

Use PoEdit to edit your translate files, instead of doing it by hand if you've done so.
