Hi.

I'll continue to help you with this issue.

According to what I can see in our internal documentation the code snippet in the other ticket is not the correct solution. I'm sorry about this. Please remove it. You do need to translate the [kt_woomail]customer_processing_order_body string.
Does it work for you?

Could you please share your Debug information with me?
You can read a detailed explanation about it here.
http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support
The debug info will give me a lot of information about how your site is configured and will help me understand the source of the problem.

Thanks,
Itamar.

Hi.

I think that the solution that I found on another ticket (Spanish) is what you need.
https://wpml.org/es/forums/topic/kadence-woocommerce-email-designer/page/2/#post-4856503

Here is what you need to do.
- Make a full backup of yours.
- Edit the functions.php file of your theme.
- Add this code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_format_string', function ($string, $email) {
    $string =  apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings', '[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading' );
    $string =  apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings', '[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject' );
  
    return $string;
}, 21, 2);
- Save the changes and check if it is working.

Regards,
Itamar.

OK, now
[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject
This one is translated, but
[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading
This one is replaced with [woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject.
Also it is appearing at the bottom of the email.

Hi and thanks for trying my suggestions.

I'm consulting our second tier supporters regarding this issue.

Hi.

Our second tier supporter says that you might want to try this code and call each $string variable in a different name.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_format_string', function ($string, $email) {
    $string1 =  apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings', '[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading' );
    $string2 =  apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings', '[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject' );
 
    return $string;
}, 21, 2);

Please let me know if now it is working for you.

I tried the code above, but not working.

[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject
[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading

These don't appear translated.

Hi.

On the 31st of January you wrote:

When I checked the String Translation section on your site now I found out that both the following strings have 'Order Despatched' as their translation.
[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject
[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading
Please see the attached screenshots.

So I think that you only need to change the translation of 'heading' and it will be OK.
Can you try this, please?

That is fine as I want to show "Order Despatched" for both subject and heading.
I still tried changing the translation of "heading" and still no translation is showing for both
[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject
[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading
They appear in Japanese for English transactional emails. Only these subject and heading.
Other parts of email texts are appearing translated.

Ok, I understand.
Can you please tell me how can I see those wrong Japanese strings in the English transactional emails?
Can I see it in WooCommerce -> Orders?
Do I need to purchase a product in the English language to get the email and see it?

You can go to Tool -> WP Mail Log. There, please have a look at the one sent on 2020-02-12 9:46:22 .

Thanks. I can see the problem now.

I've found out that the subject and the heading can be changed from two places.
A. First from the default place (WooCommerce ) in WooCommerce -> Settings -> Emails (tab).
B. But due to the 'Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer' plugin it can also be changed from WooCommerce -> Email Customizer.
I suspect that because of that there is some kind of a collision and that is what causing the problem. So I set those two strings (Subject and Heading to be in English in both of those places. And I also set the string to be an English string. And in the String Translation section, I translated it from English into Japanese. Please see the attached screenshots.

Please check if now when there is a purchase in the English language the subject and the heading of the complete email are in English.

If this will not work we'll need to replicate this issue on a clean WordPress installation and escalate it to our compatibility team.

Regards,
Itamar.
