I'm discussing this with Kinsta right now. CDN is also off at our staging site... Hope they can come up with something...
In the meantime I added an old PHP code I've received from WPML a while ago, it had to do with the country flags.
Now the reviews appear translated. Can you see what this code does? And maybe we can find a solution from there?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, Cloudflare is still active. They might want to try fully deactivating it to check if that resolves the issue.
The code you mentioned addresses the following issue: "The country flag on product reviews appears in the current language instead of the client's language." This issue is still open, and the code can still be used if you're experiencing the still the same problem as in the past.
That said, in my tests, previously translated reviews appeared correctly without requiring any modifications.
I've double checked with Kinsta and it appears that the website is hosted at cloudflare:
Our platform is built on Cloudflare; With our Cloudflare integration, Kinsta customers benefit from a more secure firewall with included DDoS protection, high-performance CDN, Edge Caching, HTTP/3 support, wildcard SSLs, and more.
But caching is only on the server (Server cache), The CDN (Cloudflare) and Edge caching (Cloudlfare)
The Server cache is disabled by default on staging.
There is no CDN or Edge caching on staging, if you check the caching page in MyKinsta, it only shows server caching and Redis. The Server caching is disabled and Redis is not enabled as it's an add-on service, which means you only enable it when you need it on your site such as to cache database requests, and it's with a cost attached to it,
So no caching layer is active from our end or from our Cloudflare integration on your staging website.
There's nothing more I can add as long as it works on my localhost. No changes have been made to the site—it's deployed as is. I can't detect or debug anything further from our side.
The only option I can offer is to set up an instance on a Cloudways server, where you can migrate the site. If the issue is resolved there as well, it would serve as proof for Kinsta to investigate further.
I think I know why the reviews on your localhost show up translated.
I think this is because you're using the Salient Child theme which has this custom code in its functions.php

remove_filter( 'the_comments', $key );
}
}
return $var;
}
Can you switch to twenty twenty theme and check if the reviews still show up as translated?
Hi Marcel, thank you for your prompt reply. But if I understand it well, then the translations aren't visible on the localhost as well without the use of additional coding?
Sorry but I'm a bit confused now. The custom code was for showing the correct flags with the reviews at this was a temp solution from 2023. I don't expect that there will be a fix any time soon. (we didn't have translations for the reviews at that time).
But what about the translations that aren't showing up (without the custom code)? Is this a problem within WPML or with our host Kinsta?
Or do you recommend to keep using this code on our live environment to make the translations visible? If so then thats also a good solution, the reviews show up well on the woocommerce product pages.
But not on the woocommerce all reviews block used on this page: hidden link
Is it possible to adjust the code so also the reviews appear translated on the "all reviews block"?

Since the translations work with the custom code, I can no longer confirm that this is an issue with your host.

Yes, that’s the purpose of the workaround we provided.

The issue on the product page is a bug since something isn’t working as expected. However, from what I can see, the "All Reviews" block doesn’t currently support translated reviews by design. We can explore whether this could be considered as a feature request, but I can’t guarantee if it will be approved by our developers.
It should show the translated reviews. But I'm afraid that because of I need to use custom code to show the translated reviews on the product pages, that I need custom code to make it work with the all reviews block as well. Can your team look into this please?
Thanks so much.
