Drupal 8 translatable configuration

Question

I'm trying to setup a custom module that provide content from an API.The API url is configurable, but as it is different for each language I must be able to translate it. I setup my module configuration as described here (see the gist below) but when I try to access the translation form from /admin/config/regional/config-translation, i get "Access denied"

What am I doing wrong ?

First of all,

1. Does your custom permission configure crtib configurator is defined in a permissions.yml file ? And did you give this permission to your user ?

2. Where is your config/install settings file ? In your case your crtib_configurator.settings.yml ? Did you miss it ?

These files are not mandatory by default in Drupal 8, but are required once we want to make your configuration translatable.

I would suggest you this 2 articles:

• Drupal 8 - How to translate the Config API
• Drupal 8 multilingual tidbits 16: configuration translation development

Update - With Review of Google Drive Files

1. config folder should be placed in the root of your module not in src;
2. crtib_configurator.links.task.yml use a wrong route_name crtib_configurator.api_settings_translate, it should be crtib_configurator.api_settings.

Apply those 2 changes & clear your cache, you will then be able to use the translations form properly.

I think the main & initial error was the config folder location.

Directory structure:

.
+-- crtib_configurator 
|   +-- config
|   |  +-- install
|   |  |  +--  crtib_configurator.api.yml
|   |  +-- schema
|   |  |  +--  crtib_configurator.schema.yml
|   +-- src
|    |  +-- Form
|    |  |  +-- SettingsForm.php
|   +-- crtib_configurator.config_translation.yml
|   +-- crtib_configurator.info.yml
|   +-- crtib_configurator.links.menu.yml
|   +-- crtib_configurator.links.task.yml
|   +-- crtib_configurator.permissions.yml
|   +-- crtib_configurator.routing.yml

Content of crtib_configurator.links.task.yml:

crtib_configurator.api_settings:
  route_name: crtib_configurator.api_settings
  title: 'CRTIB configurator settings'
  base_route: crtib_configurator.api_settings
