• translation
• plugin-wpml

• I'd guess WPML scans your code for potential translations and isn't picking this up then? Maybe try adding a reference to that translation somewhere in PHP code and see if that helps. And this is possibly a bug or enhancement report for WPML. – Rup Commented May 18, 2020 at 11:52
• it is working fine with php code, just the strings inside twig template are not working – MMK Commented May 18, 2020 at 13:54

I managed to assign a variable to context.

$context = Timber::get_context();
$context['search_placeholder'] = __("Suche","pixel_framework");

Timber::fetch('test.twig',$context);

inside twig

<input type="text" id="s" name="s" value="" placeholder=" {{search_placeholder}}">
