Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue. This may be related to the following tickets or a compatibility issue with Five Star Restaurant Reservations - WordPress Booking Plugin. https://wpml.org/forums/topic/add-to-basket-button-in-italian-throws-a-hard-error/#post-8449997 https://wpml.org/forums/topic/site-crashes-when-clicked-on-russian-language-switch-button/ So please visit WPML>>String Translation and search for "%s" inside the text field. Then check if you translated some strings that include a placeholder like "%s" and make sure that the translation includes the identical/correct placeholder(s). -- Thanks! Bigul

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Thank you for the login information and details. Please check the attached image. Now you are using an older version of WPML and WPML String Translation plugin is not installed on the site. So have you uploaded the older version due to this issue? Please allow me to make a duplicator copy of your site using the Duplicator plugin(https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) for debugging the issue on my local server. So we can troubleshoot the issue without affecting your live site. -- Thanks! Bigul

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+02:00)	Hello, Thank you for the updates. Please upgrade to the latest version of the WPML and String Translation plugins(4.5.12 series) after a full site backup{mandatory}. Then clear all types of caches and make sure the issue is existing or not. https://wpml.org/changelog/2022/10/wpml-4-5-12-updates-for-wordpress-6-1/ May you have to visit Plugins>>Add New>>Commerical tab and click on the Check for updates button to get the WPML automatic upgrade links of the latest version. This step will help us refresh the installer caches. If the bug remains, this requires further testing. So please allow me to make a duplicator copy of your site using the Duplicator plugin(https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) for debugging the issue on my local server. So we can troubleshoot the issue without affecting your live site. -- Thanks! Bigul

I am getting the expected results after editing the translation of this string Define how the time is formatted on the booking form. %sFormatting rules%s. This only changes the format on the booking form. To change the time format in notification messages, modify your general %sWordPress Settings%s. like the following. Because the placeholder strings(%sWordPress Settings%s & %sFormatting rules%s) are wrongly translated. From Définir comment l'horaire est formaté sur le formulaire de réservation. %sRègles de format%s. Pour changer le format d'horaire dans les messages de notification, modifier vos %sréglages WordPress%s généraux.
