Translate from English to Spanish some strings of the plugin Give (hidden link). I have scanned the plugin to search for strings and I have translated most of them. However, the scanner cannot find the following ones. I have talked to the plugin authors and they told me that I won't be able to find them; so, I have to register this strings manually. All of them are error messages that appaer on the following page when you don't complete the form correctly. Some appear in Safary, others in Firefox...

Sentences that I need to register manually:
- Could not find payment information
- Your card number is incorrect
- Donate now
- Your card's expiration year is invalid
- The card number is not a valid credit card number
So, I need you to tell me what I have to do to register them manually. I haven't find any page where you explain step by step (for dumies) how to get it. Most of the pages are for expert people and only explain some of the steps. So, what I need is:
- What is the function that I have to write (step by step).
- Where do I have to paste it, where is the file exactly located.
- Then what else I have to do...
Further to help here are the answers to your questions.
#1
- What is the function that I have to write (step by step).
You can use the action I explained above to register the string manually. If you go to that documentation you can see that each parameter is defined there properly and you will get information what you should use there.
#2
- Where do I have to paste it, where is the file exactly located.
This depends upon how your plugin is coded, normally the action should be used where the strings is being written in the .php file. You can search where the strings has been written in the plugin and use the action accordingly.
#3
- Then what else I have to do...
Once you complete the above steps then you can go to string translation and translate those strings.
Let me know if this helps. Look forward to your reply.
1) Those strings are not actually in our code, so it's not currently possible to translate them. We have an open issue with our developers to get that resolved, but in the meantime your only option would be to manually code those translations in yourself.
2) When you scann the plugin, the scanner cannot find strings that I have indicated.
3) Let's try to translate one of the sentences. This one: "Could not find payment information".
4) How can I know where the strings are located in the plugin? Where do I have to search for them? Once I locate them, where exactly do I have to paste the code?
5) Do I have to add the same code for each sentence that I need to translate, one below the other and separated with ";"? Or I can add all them in the same piece of code?
#4
You should search for the string using file editor and find out which plugin or theme is creating that string.
#5
Once you find that strings you should add the code presented #3 below the strings.
Based on your replies it seems you are trying to search some strings, which you are not sure which plugin is created, so to help you further on this issue, I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site in order to be of better help. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. hidden link
Note that:
+ Backup (both files and database) your site before giving us your credentials
+ It would be better if you give me the test site rather than the live site.
We'd like to request the permission to disable, enable and install themes and plugins for this site. Please accept this?
The messages appear when you don't complete all the requiered fields, or you complete them in a wrong way. Some messages appear depending on the browser. Try Safary, Explorer, Firefox and Chrome.
To debug this issue further, I would need the give plugins, I tried to download those plugins using your ftp but on the provided ftp plugins folder I couldn't find any related plugins of give, so could you please check it once?
Upon debugging further I noticed that the plugin is using stripe.js API and the error are received from the remote server, I tried to test this on my localhost but since I don't have stripe test credentials I couldn't test this further, do you have any test credentials so I can test this further.
I am sorry, but the site is already online and there isn't any option to activate the test mode. I have been looking for any alternative, but I couldn't find any.
Could you see the error messages? What can I do to help you?
To debug this issue further, I would need to replicate this issue on my localhost, could you please send me your site snapshot so I can debug this issue further? You can use a plugin like Duplicator and send me the archive and installer file, See more about Duplicator plugin here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Note: Please upload the file in Google drive or Dropbox and share it with me.

Also, I request you to follow the below steps and let me know the results.
1) Deactivate WPML
2) Set site default language other than English.
3) Now check if the strings are shown in their languages properly?
