SMS Alert – Order SMS Are Sent in the Default Language

Overview of the Issue

In SMS Alert Order Notifications – WooCommerce, customers who order in a secondary language get the order SMS in your site’s default language.

Workaround

Until SMS Alert fixes it, you can send the order SMS in the order’s language:

1. Go to WPML → Settings, open Custom XML Configuration, add this and save:

   <wpml-config>
     <admin-texts>
       <key name="smsalert_message">
         <key name="sms_body_*" />
       </key>
     </admin-texts>
   </wpml-config>

2. Go to WPML → String Translation and translate the SMS templates (domain admin_texts_smsalert_message).
3. Add this code to your theme’s functions.php file, or with a code snippets plugin. It builds the customer SMS in the language of the order:

   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_changed', function ( $order_id ) {
   	$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
   	$lang  = $order ? $order->get_meta( 'wpml_language' ) : '';
   	if ( $lang ) {
   		$GLOBALS['sms_alert_wpml_previous_lang'] = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
   		do_action( 'wpml_switch_language', $lang );
   	}
   }, 9 );
   
   add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_changed', function () {
   	if ( isset( $GLOBALS['sms_alert_wpml_previous_lang'] ) ) {
   		do_action( 'wpml_switch_language', $GLOBALS['sms_alert_wpml_previous_lang'] );
   		unset( $GLOBALS['sms_alert_wpml_previous_lang'] );
   	}
   }, 11 );
