''Select option'' button, in Arabic language cannot be translated using WPML String

Hi there,
Thanks for contacting WPML support.

Please try the following steps and let us know if that helps:

- Go to WPML String Translation
- Scroll down to the "Auto register strings for translation" section and enable that option
- Visit the page where the string is added on the front end
- Go back to String translation and disable the auto register option
- Search again for the string and translate it

Kindly check this guide for more details: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#auto-register-strings-for-translation

Kind regards,
Mohamed

Hello, thanks

The method succeeded, and I was able to translate the required field in the way you mentioned, and thanks.

Unfortunately, I found a field from Product Addons that could not be translated through the method you mentioned, nor from WPML String.

It’s a message that popped up when someone leave a required field empty , in Arabic language in in any belt product - “Belt Size”

Kindly please check screenshot

If you can check this from your end, i can send the website user and password.

Hi,

The validation texts are already translated in "String Translation" but not on the front end.

I can replicate this on a clean installation, so this is probably a compatibility issue. I've escalated this ticket to our 2nd tier support team for further investigation and will update you once I have their reply.

Please create a full backup then try the following steps:

1. Edit the file wp-content\plugins\woo-custom-product-addons\includes\config.php
2. Around line 30, replace the following code:

static function get_config($option, $default = false, $translate = false)
    {
        if (self::$values == false) {
            $cacheKey = 'wcpa_settings_'.WCPA_VERSION;

With:

static function get_config($option, $default = false, $translate = false)
    {
	    $my_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
	    if (self::$values == false) {
            $cacheKey = 'wcpa_settings_'.WCPA_VERSION. $my_current_lang;

3. Translate the strings in WPML > String Translation
4. Go to Forms > All Forms
5. Edit the translation of the form and resave it

Let us know your feedback please.
