I created a custom module, it contains many fields. I have added translate=true in each fields.

Then i select user language as arabic, but fields in my custom module didn't change to arabic, remaining all fields in the core modules changed to arabic.

How can i convert these custom modules fields into arabic?

First: You have to create an empty po file for your module.

Under Settings ---> Translations ---> Click on Export Translation

Creating Empty PO File

Download PO File

Open the downloaded PO file (your_module_name.po) with POEdit, translate it, and save it as: ar_xx.po where xx = country code (as follow):

ar-DZ Arabic - Algeria 0x1401 ARG ar-BH Arabic - Bahrain 0x3C01 ARH ar-EG Arabic - Egypt 0x0C01 ARE ar-IQ Arabic - Iraq 0x0801 ARI ar-JO Arabic - Jordan 0x2C01 ARJ ar-KW Arabic - Kuwait 0x3401 ARK ar-LB Arabic - Lebanon 0x3001 ARB ar-LY Arabic - Libya 0x1001 ARL ar-MA Arabic - Morocco 0x1801 ARM ar-OM Arabic - Oman 0x2001 ARO ar-QA Arabic - Qatar 0x4001 ARQ ar-SA Arabic - Saudi Arabia 0x0401 ARA ar-SY Arabic - Syria 0x2801 ARS ar-TN Arabic - Tunisia 0x1C01 ART ar-AE Arabic - United Arab Emirates 0x3801 ARU ar-YE Arabic - Yemen 0x2401 ARY

Under your module folder create a subfolder and name it i18n, copy your ar_xx.po file in this folder.

Click on Import Translation and import your ar_xx file

Import PO

Last, under Settings ---> Translations ---> Application Terms click on Synchronize Terms

Reload your page ...

In which step did you encounter difficulties? In POEdit, you have to translate line by line, as described in the last image: for each line you have to give the translation in Arabic.
