README

This is the official Translate Custom Variables Magento 2 extension. With this module it is possible to use custom variables in translatable strings in CMS elements.

How does it work?

1. For example, you have a custom variable with code free_shipping_cost, and you want to place it in a translatable string in a CMS Block or CMS Page
2. To do this, the prefix "customVar_" must be placed before the custom variable code in the translation string
3. As: {{trans "Free Shipping from %free_shipping" free_shipping=customVar_free_shipping_cost}}

The %free_shipping will be replaced by the value from the custom variable free_shipping_cost.
