shopify: what does filter "t" do?

{{general.newsletter_form.placeholder' | t }}

I find something like this in a shopify's .liquid file, I am trying to find out what t means but can't find any related information from shopify's help center and liquid's github page. Can anyone tell me what it does and more importantly, where I can find the documentation?

Solution

  • That is the front-end translation filter or an attempt to bring i18n to Shop themes. See the documentation here: https://help.shopify.com/themes/development/internationalizing/translation-filter
