At least a hotfix :)
Do you know which plugin caused the error?

<p>From what i see you maybe have a typo. I think it should be <code>en-GB</code>. At least this is the folder name in the git repo : <a href="https://github.com/craftcms/cms/tree/69bafb027b9e2dc9c8dbede5ad6b4da2706f0650/src/translations/en-GB" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/craftcms/cms/tree/69bafb027b9e2dc9c8dbede5ad6b4da2706f0650/src/translations/en-GB</a></p>

Maybe try an app.php instead of site.php That was my issue a while ago.

I tried everything, nothing worked! But P&T support suggested I disable some plugin's to see if there was an issue there and that action made things work. No idea why!

<p>I have upgraded from Craft2 to Craft3 and static translations no longer seem to work.</p>

<p>I have created a folder at the same level as the "vendor" folder called "translations" and have got a folder inside that called "en_us" (base language is en_gb). Inside that folder we have a file called "site.php" and inside that is the following:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php

return [
    '£' =&gt; '$',
    'USD' =&gt; '$',
];
</code></pre>

<p>The static translation page (<a href="https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/static-translations.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/static-translations.html</a>) says: "..To do that, create a new folder in your project’s base directory called translations/, and within that, create a new folder named after the target language’s ID". </p>

<p>I assume that is a typo, but I have tried naming the folder the ID number of the site...</p>

<p>I've also tried renaming the folder to "en-US", "en-us" but nothing seems to work.</p>

<p>Code example for a translation attempt in a template: <code>{{ "£" | t }}</code>.</p>

<p>Any help very gratefully received!</p>

Static translations not working on Craft 3 since upgrade from Craft 2
# Static translations not working on Craft 3 since upgrade from Craft 2

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-31)

I have upgraded from Craft2 to Craft3 and static translations no longer seem to work.
I have created a folder at the same level as the "vendor" folder called "translations" and have got a folder inside that called "en_us" (base language is en_gb). Inside that folder we have a file called "site.php" and inside that is the following:
 '$',
    'USD' => '$',
];

The static translation page (https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/static-translations.html) says: "..To do that, create a new folder in your project’s base directory called translations/, and within that, create a new folder named after the target language’s ID". 
I assume that is a typo, but I have tried naming the folder the ID number of the site...
I've also tried renaming the folder to "en-US", "en-us" but nothing seems to work.
Code example for a translation attempt in a template: {{ "£" | t }}.
Any help very gratefully received!
