[Résolu] Hotel Booking - Issue to translate automatically generated invoices

Hello,

Thank you for contacting WPML support team,

I highly suspect this to be a compatibility issue, Hotel Booking is indeed compatible: https://wpml.org/plugin/motopress/

But I do not see any mention of their PDF addon plugin on our internal systems.

Before escalating this to our compatibility team, I see that on Motopress release notes, the last time they updated the compatibility with WPML was from 2021 : lien caché

In here we have two things we could so :

1- Create a sandbox environment ( I can provide you with the link upon your next reply) and you replicate the issue there.
2- Contact Motopress team to let them know about this issue in hope they have a quick fix for it and to let them know that this issue exist (this helps us with our compatibility process)

But before this, could you confirm if the issue persist when disable all plugins except motopress and WPML plugin?

Best,

Hello,

In order to see if this issue is happening because of the configuration of your site, or just the combination of the hotel PDF addon plugin & WPML we need to isolate the issue.

I’ve created a sandbox here: lien caché

I’ve already configured WPML in 2 languages.

Please do the following:

- Open the Sandbox link mentioned above
- Download and activate the Motopress Hotel Booking plugins you are using.
- Create a test booking and translate it
- Does the PDF generated load the right language? Does the issue replicate?

Please note that we only need the theme/plugin and the related functionality, you don’t need to set up an entire website or clone your existing site.

Let me know when it is done.
Best regards,

Hello David,

We need to get these plugins installed on our sandboxes as we are going to change the code and break the plugin itself,

Could you share a link of the zip file? or upload it using File Manager on the sandbox?

You could also share an FTP access to your site, I could see if I can export the files of the plugin myself.

If that wasn't enough, then we need to contact the authors directly to provide a testing version, but I should be able to activate it from the zip file or FTP.

Best,

Hello David,

It turns out the invoice is loading its content directly from the booking itself, and when I check with Motopress, I find this article : lien caché

That implies that the bookings are not to be translated, hence why the invoice cannot load the content in another language but English.

Even when forcing the booking translation as shown in here : lien caché

The booking translation is totally empty and the invoice is only able to load the english strings.

I have reported this to our compatibility team, they will see if motopress can make their PDF plugin compatible.

Best,

Your analogy is right, but this PDF plugin is not taking that into consideration (not checking for the language), hence why it is not compatible.

For now, our compatibility team asked if you could make the frontend booking page to work so we can simulate the automatic generation of the invoice,

From the backend, we couldn't create a "french" booking as you described.

Hello,

Thank you for helping with the booking installation,

We have found a possible fix for this issue and the invoice is now translated: lien caché

- Backup your site
- Open ... /wp-content/plugins/mphb-invoices/classes/pdf/pdf-helper.php
-Look for line 248
- Replace:

$booking       = MPHB()->getBookingRepository()->findById( $booking_id );

With:

$booking       = MPHB()->getBookingRepository()->findById( $booking_id );
// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7849
if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) { 
	$booking_language = $booking->getLanguage();
	do_action( 'wpml_switch_language', $booking_language );
}

- Then look for line 294

- Replace:

return $render_variables;

With:

return $render_variables;
// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7849
if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) { 
	$default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL ); 
	do_action( 'wpml_switch_language', $default_lang );
}

- Note that some strings need to be translated in String Translation too
- Then create a French booking > Invoice will be then in French

Let me know if that helped,

We will contact Motopress team to see if they are willing to do that, I will keep you updated, but I need your confirmation that this works to proceed,
