how to get the translated taxonomy term programmatically? [duplicate]

Try

$term = taxonomy_term_load($tid); $translated_term = i18n_taxonomy_term_get_translation($term, $langcode); 

Also, a good place to look for more information: /sites/all/modules/i18n/i18n_taxonomy/i18n_taxonomy.module

1. Create translation sets (taxonomy example)

To translate a string, you should use two functions, depending on which i18n mode you use:

Localize mode: i18n_string_translation_update()

<?php $result_translation = i18n_string_translation_update( array('taxonomy', 'term', $tid, 'name'), // Path where to store source and translation. $translated_string, $language, $source_string ); ?> 

Translate mode: i18n_translation_set_create()

<?php // 1. Load or create a translation set. $translation_set = ($source_term->i18n_tsid) ? i18n_translation_set_load($source_term->i18n_tsid) : i18n_translation_set_create('taxonomy_term', $vocabulary->machine_name); // 2. Add the full source term in this set. $translation_set->add_item($source_term, $source_term->language); // 3. Add the full translated term in this set. $translation_set->add_item($translated_term, $translated_term->language); $translation_set->save(TRUE); ?> 

Strings for other contents and modules

When a module defines its own strings, it must use some additional functions to allow these string to be tracked and updated.

Define the textgroup by implementing hook_i18n_string_info(). This is how it looks (i18n_taxonomy module)

<?php /** * Implements hook_i18n_string_info() */ function i18n_taxonomy_i18n_string_info() { $groups['taxonomy'] = array( 'title' => t('Taxonomy'), 'description' => t('Vocabulary titles and term names for localizable vocabularies.'), 'format' => FALSE, // This group doesn't have strings with format 'list' => FALSE, // This group cannot list all strings 'refresh callback' => 'i18n_taxonomy_i18n_string_refresh', ); return $groups; } ?>
