Problem: You are trying to translate a custom filter message on the WooCommerce thank you page, which is not visible in WPML string translation. The message is added via a filter in the functions.php file of your child theme.
Solution: To make your custom messages translatable, you need to wrap all static texts in gettext calls such as
__()
and
_e()
, specifying a text domain. Here’s how you can modify your code:
$thank_you_msg = __('Status: Order Completed & Paid!', 'your-text-domain') . '<br /><br />' . __('You are all set! You can now close this tab and head over to your email inbox for all the details about your challenge.', 'your-text-domain');
After modifying the code, go to WPML → Theme and plugins localization and scan your child theme for new strings. This will register them in WPML’s String Translation, where you can provide translations. For more details on adding gettext calls and scanning themes, visit Adding GetText Calls to PHP Code and Scanning a Theme or Plugin to Update Existing Translations.
Ensure you are properly loading the text domain in your theme. For guidance, see load_theme_textdomain and Text Domain. Always back up your database before making changes.
