Hi,
Thank you for your patience.
I have spoken with WPML regarding your issue and they have confirmed they will continue assisting you. Please contact them, they should be able to help you. If there are compatibility issues that need Barn2 assistance, WPML will contact us directly.
If you have other questions or concerns, please let me know.
Andreas is currently away and I will be taking over this ticket.
Please note that we can only work on 1 issue per ticket, as that will help us keep organized in case an issue needs to be escalated to our dev our compatibility teams as well as give you a faster resolution.
With that being said, it seems like there have been a few issues mentioned in this thread.
#1
I would like to verify that the original issue of the thread is this:
"The English version is working fine, but the Greek version of Product Options is not working. The problematic areas are:
hidden link
(using this one as an example out of the 3)"
#2
Is the issue you are experiencing this:
"The title for the option is not being translated but appearing as a series of question marks (?????). Instead of Greek text, I see English text and verification requests sometimes."
#3 is this issue still happening?
When I visit the product here: hidden link
I do not see any ???? question marks, instead I can see the translations OK
'Εισάγετε έως 15 χαρακτήρες συμπεριλαμβανομένων των κενών'
If possible, please re share the access details with me, the previously shared ones no longer work.
Also, it's important to note that our compatibility team is in open communication with the Bar2 plugin authors to ensure that the 2 plugins are made compatible as there have been notices of issues.
#1 Select an option - the dropdown comes from the Barn2 plugin the string that was translated in String Translation was from WooCommerce which is why it did not show in the front end.
To resolve I went to WPML->Theme and Plugins Localization -> select 'WooCommerce Product Options' and scan it. It was not scanned yet and many strings were missing.
Once finished the string pulled into string translation and I was able to translate it.
#2 The string in red font 'Please select an option'
This string comes from Woo Product Options as well, however, it is not picked up by WPML String Translation.
the string is located in /assets/js/src/wpo-single-product/field-validation.js LINE 324
/**
* Custom required validation for radio groups.
*
* @param {Object} field
*/
function handleRadioRequiredValidation( field ) {
const selectedInputs = Array.from( field.inputElements ).filter( ( input ) => input.checked );
const firstInput = field.inputElements.item( 0 );
if ( selectedInputs.length === 0 && isFieldRequired( field ) ) {
firstInput?.setCustomValidity( __( 'Please select an option.', 'woocommerce-product-options' ) );
firstInput.required = true;
return false;
}
firstInput?.setCustomValidity( '' );
firstInput.required = false;
return true;
}
I can also see that there is a .mo file available for the Spanish version of this string but not for Greek.
NOTE: As a test I added a .mo file with the .mo translations for 'Edit' and "Please select an option.' but that did not help either.
#3
The edit string is most likely not prepped for translation as it is an admin string and not a string users see in the front end, we have seen plugins opt this route many times.
I will discuss #2 and #3 with our team and update you as soon as I have more information, in the meantime please confirm that the dropdown option is translated as expected.
