Since PrestaShop 1.5, you can translate modules depending on the theme. Therefore, the list of translation files is as such:
/modules/nomname_of_the_module/translations/iso_code.php: for the default theme./themes/nomname_of_the_theme/modules/nomname_of_the_module/translations/iso_code.php: for any other theme.
...
The identification key is built by combining the name of the module from which the original string comes (i.e. "blockcms"), following by the name of the theme (i.e. "prestashop"), followed by the name of the file (i.e. "blockmobilecms"), followed by an underscore, and finally the MD5 hash of the string itself.

Code Block {l s='Delivery Address'}
