Prestashop translation not showing up

I just created a new module to manage some strings. I installed the module and i see the texts on the backend to translate.
So far, so good.
But the problem is, that once i translate and save, i can't seem to get the updated information on the frontend.

I added this into my product.tpl template


{l s='CI' mod='aproductimages'}


That translation, according to Prestashop, is saved as "http://.......image.jpg", but when i print it on the template, i only get "CI" (the original string, not the translation)
I tried downloading my module's translation files, but they're empty.
Is that correct? am i missing something?
Thanks!

Very often in Prestashop You need to flush page and browser cache memory.


In Prestashop BO go to ***Advanced Parameters / Performance*** and turn cache off and force theme compilation. Then use ***Clean Smarty and Autoload cache*** button.

Next clean browser and refresh Your site by CTRL+F5.

This should help!
