Background of the issue:
I am using the Kadence Email Customizer plugin to customize emails on my site under development. I need to translate some strings in these emails into Estonian. For example, the line 'An order has been created for you on {site_title}. {invoice_pay_link}' should be translated, where {site_title} is replaced by the site name and {invoice_pay_link} is replaced by a payment link with the caption 'Pay for this order'. I've written about this problem before (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/proble-with-kadence-email-customizer/), but there we solved it without translating texts via WPML, since the language on the site is the same.
Symptoms:

Questions:
How can I translate email strings into Estonian using WPML with the Kadence Email Customizer plugin?
At the same time, keeping tags, such as {invoice_pay_link} and other similar ones, functional. Now they are sent to the e-mail as a string. Here is an example:
"Teie jaoks on loodud tellimus saidil {site_title}. {invoice_pay_link}"
This is literally what I get in the email.
I am not sure if it covers the {site_title} also, so for this, can you try this as well? So after you check and confirm whether the above filter works, try this one:
add_filter('kadence_woomail_order_body_text', function($body_text, $order, $sent_to_admin, $plain_text, $email) {
// Check if WCML is active for translation support.
if (class_exists('WCML_Orders')) {
// Get necessary variables
$key = $email->id;
$btn_switch = Kadence_Woomail_Customizer::opt($key . '_btn_switch');
// Handle {invoice_pay_link}
$pay_link = "";
if ($order->get_checkout_payment_url()) {
if (true == $btn_switch) {
$pay_link = '<p class="btn-container"><a class="btn" href="' . esc_url($order->get_checkout_payment_url()) . '">' . esc_html__('Pay for this order', 'kadence-woocommerce-email-designer') . '</a></p>';
} else {
$pay_link = '<a href="' . esc_url($order->get_checkout_payment_url()) . '">' . esc_html__('Pay for this order', 'kadence-woocommerce-email-designer') . '</a>';
}
}
// Replace the placeholders {invoice_pay_link} and {site_title}
$body_text = str_replace('{invoice_pay_link}', $pay_link, $body_text);
$site_title = get_bloginfo('name');
$body_text = str_replace('{site_title}', esc_html($site_title), $body_text);
// Translate the body text via WPML
$order_language = $order->get_meta('wpml_language');
$body_text = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $body_text, 'admin_texts_kt_woomail', $key.'_body', $order_language);
}
return $body_text;
}, 20, 5);
Hello, now a slightly different problem, still related to Kadence and Woocommerce Subscriptions.
Some emails are not fully translated.
I have two languages on my site: Estonian and English. Estonian is set as default language. The lines in the emails are all translated.
But this is what I get if I subscribe in Estonian and try to renew it.
Email header (i.e. subject): “Your Luxador renewal order receipt from märts 24, 2025”
And in the e-mail itself, the English text at the beginning: “Your subscription renewal order has been received and is now being processed. Your order details are shown below for your reference:”
All other content is translated into Estonian correctly, except for “Credit card / debit card” in the payment method and the word “every” in the payment period.
