How to extract labels from Symfony forms I18n Extract Task

Question

Hi, I am quite aware that the extract task accepts application as a parameter, and thus one can't expect it too look into the forms folder. However, I referred the link (below) and tried a couple of ways: 1. defining my proxy __() method 2. including the I18n helper in App Configuration However, both aren't working.

Can anyone tell me how to extract these from the form classes? Thanks

You need to use the i18n helper and add the translated strings manually to your XML/XLIFF files. The translations themselves work, it's just the i18n:extract task that doesn't look inside form classes so it has to be done manually. I hope they add this feature in Symfony 2.0.
