Problem: The client is developing a site using a Blocksy child theme and has implemented custom code for WooCommerce warnings in a file named 'ufi-warnings.php'. This code adds a product tab for UFI warnings and allows selection of UFI numbers for products. The client used WPML to translate the product tab into Slovenian and scanned the child theme for custom code translations from Croatian to Slovenian. However, the client encountered issues with the text domain in localization functions. Solution: We advised the client to ensure that all hard-coded strings in their PHP code are wrapped in WordPress localization functions like
__()
and
_e()
, and to specify the text domain as a string. This is crucial for the parsing tools to correctly distinguish between different text domains. The client was incorrectly using a variable for the text domain, represented as

Problem: The client has a Google review widget on their website, translated into four languages using different JavaScripts for each language. They face an issue where every time the page is updated, the JavaScripts for other languages revert to the main language, requiring manual adjustments each time. Solution: We recommend not using JavaScript code in the glossary as WPML does not support translating JavaScript natively. Instead, you can use WPML's filters and action hooks to manage multilingual support. Here's how you can proceed: 1. Remove the JavaScript code from the glossary. 2. Write custom code to detect the current language and insert the appropriate JavaScript code. You can find guidance on this through the following documentation links:

Problem: The client needed the Finnish, Latvian, and Lithuanian flags in their WPML language switcher to link to external partner sites instead of internal translations, but the existing jQuery code was not functioning. Solution: We recommended adding a custom function to the
functions.php
file of the client's theme. This function modifies the language switcher to include external links for the specified languages. Here is the code to implement:

Problem: The client is working on a site with multiple domains using WPML and WooCommerce for regions like the USA, UK, and Germany. They want to restrict customers from ordering from certain domains based on their shipping address, but the WooCommerce option 'Sell to all countries, except for…' applies globally and does not allow for domain-specific restrictions. Solution: We recommend using custom hooks to achieve domain-specific restrictions. One approach is to use the
woocommerce_checkout_process
hook to check the current domain against the customer's shipping country. If there is a mismatch, display an error and prevent checkout. Alternatively, consider redirecting customers to the correct store based on their location or using third-party plugins like Conditional Shipping and Payments for more flexibility.
It's important to note that restricting EU customers based on their shipping address might violate EU price discrimination laws, particularly under the Geo-blocking Regulation (EU) 2018/302. This regulation prohibits unjustified geo-blocking and discrimination based on nationality, residence, or place of establishment within the EU. Ensure compliance when implementing any restrictions.

Problema: Nella pagina delle stanze del sito, i contenuti sono duplicati e visualizzati sia in italiano che in inglese. Soluzione: Questo accade perché il tipo di contenuto 'eagle_rooms' non era impostato come traducibile.

Problem: The client is developing a site and needs a separate payment gateway for each currency. The gateway is custom coded, and the client wants to make it compatible with WPML's multicurrency feature. Solution: We explained that any payment gateways set up in the Payments section of WooCommerce → Settings will be available for all site’s currencies. If the client wants to use different gateways with different settings for each currency, this is only compatible with a few gateways. For a custom-coded gateway, ensuring compatibility with WPML's multicurrency feature is not straightforward and requires complex compatibility collaboration with our developers. We recommend that if the client's plugin will be publicly available, they should consider joining our Go Global program to collaborate with our compatibility developers.

Problem: You are trying to set the thousand separator and decimal separator per language in WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency, specifically for displaying prices in Euros with the correct formatting for different countries like Ireland, where the expected format is €1,914.00 instead of the European format €1.914,00. Solution: Currently, there isn't a direct way to adjust these settings through the UI for secondary currencies. However, we can achieve this by using WooCommerce filters. We have added the necessary code as a Code Snippet on your site. Here is the code you can use:
/**
* Force formatting euro prices for the Ireland language
*/
add_filter( 'wc_get_price_thousand_separator', function( $value ) {
$current_language = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
if ( $current_language === 'en-ie' ) {
$value = ",";
}
return $value;
}, 11 );
add_filter( 'wc_get_price_decimal_separator', function( $value ) {
$current_language = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
if ( $current_language === 'en-ie' ) {
$value = ".";
}
return $value;
}, 11 );
This code will specifically change the thousand and decimal separators for prices when the site’s language is set to Irish English ('en-ie').

Problem: The client is unable to update the translation of the 'Quick Contact' section in the sidebar of their blog page using WPML's String Translation. Despite translating other titles successfully, the specific text 'Mieten Sie jetzt Ihren VIP-Bus mit Fahrer in Berlin für Ihren Service.' remains untranslated. Solution: We recommend the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Ensure that the 'Look for strings while pages are rendered' option is enabled in WPML's String Translation settings. 2. Visit the problematic page and refresh it to allow WPML to detect all translatable strings. 3. Navigate to the WPML String Translation page and search for the specific string 'Mieten Sie'. 4. Verify and, if necessary, correct the language setting of the widget to German. 5. Translate the widget content to English.
