I have started new with the sonata admin bundle. its very handy and easy to setup and use , but i can't seem to get the translation fixed for the default labels

e.g link_add, link_list are coming instead of proper english labels. 

#SonataAdmin
    sonata_block:
    default_contexts: [cms]
    blocks:
        sonata.admin.block.admin_list:
            contexts: [admin]
        sonata.block.service.text:
        sonata.block.service.rss:

sonata_admin:
    title:      Sonata Project
    title_logo: /bundles/sonataadmin/logo_title.png
    templates:
        # default global templates
        layout:  SonataAdminBundle::standard_layout.html.twig
        ajax:    SonataAdminBundle::ajax_layout.html.twig

        # default actions templates, should extend a global templates
        list:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:list.html.twig
        show:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:show.html.twig
        edit:    SonataAdminBundle:CRUD:edit.html.twig

    dashboard:
        blocks:
            # display a dashboard block
            - { position: left, type: sonata.admin.block.admin_list }

This is my config file and these are the basic default settings provided by the documentation. what am i missing here to enable labels for the default view params ? can anybody help

for translate menu and forms override file: SonataAdminBundle.[your_language].xliff(with content from: vendor/sonata-project/admin-bundle/Sonata/AdminBundle/Resources/translations/SonataAdminBundle.[your_language].xliff), put file in:

app/Resource/SonataAdminBundle/translations/

full path:

app/Resource/SonataAdminBundle/translations/SonataAdminBundle.[your_language].xliff

If you want to translate your labels for field, you must create translate file in your bundle, for example:

src/YourAlias/YourNameOfBundle/Resources/translations/YourAliasYourNameOfBundle.[your_language].xliff

if your Admin class is in

src/YourAlias/YourNameOfBundle/Admin/YourClassAdmin.php

Sonata use FOSUserBundle and if you want change translation for users module, you must ovverride file: FOSUserBundle.[your_language].yml in:

app/Resource/FOSUSerBundle/translations/FOSUserBundle.[your_language].yml

and analogously for SonataUserBundle

I use that configuration and everything works!

Expanding on @mkjasinski's comment above, the Symfony Translation component expects to find a _locale property on the request. If this is missing, or no translation can be found for the specified locale, it uses a fallback value. However this fallback value is also blank by default hence seeing the translation labels instead of text.

To fix this, set the default translation locale by adding the following to config.yml:

framework:
  #...
  translator:
    fallback: %locale%
