The startEnvironmentEmulation() method resets the translation locale to the one of the emulated

stores, which overrides the locale the developer has set when the order of setLocale() and

startEnvironmentEmulation() is used as displayed above.

The correct way to achieve the desired result is to use the emulate() method to temporarily modify

the translation locale. The following code shows how to do this:

PHP

$this->_translate->emulate('en_US');

// Render the template

$this->_translate->revert();

This code will set the translation locale to English before rendering the template, and then revert the

locale back to the default value after the template has been rendered.

The startEnvironmentEmulation() method is used to emulate a different store view or website. This

can be useful for testing purposes, or for developing features that need to work in different

environments.

The emulate() method is used to temporarily modify the translation locale. This can be useful for

rendering templates in a specific language, or for testing features that need to work in different

languages.
