I'm trying to evaluate if it's already the right time to start moving to ZF3 (or keep developing my application with ZF2). Therefore, I installed the mvc-skeleton application and walked through the MVC tutorial (here) which worked perfectly until I got to the internationalization part.
I installed the components (i.e. zend-i18n and zend-mvc-i18n component), created the translation files (i.e. en_US.mo and en_US.po) and copied them into my module/Application/language/ folder and added the configuration in the application configuration file.
// in a module's module.config.php:
'translator' => [
'locale' => 'en_US',
'translation_file_patterns' => [
[
'type' => 'gettext',
'base_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../language',
'pattern' => '%s.mo',
],
],
],
And of course, added the text to translate in the layout.phtml file
<p>© 2016 by Examples Ltd. <?= $this->translate('All rights reserved') ?></p>
However, for some reason it's not working

My question is simple. Did you succeed in this or do you have any idea of what's wrong with it? Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks.
It looks like it can't find the translate view helper. Try adding this in your config file:
'view_helpers' => [
'invokables' => [
'translate' => \Zend\I18n\View\Helper\Translate::class
]
]
I also found I needed to register the service:
'service_manager' => [
'factories' => [
\Zend\I18n\Translator\TranslatorInterface::class => \Zend\I18n\Translator\TranslatorServiceFactory::class,
]
]
