[Resolved] Register a plugin string manually

Hello @albac,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. I'd be happy to help you on this.

I have talked to the plugin authors and they told me that I won't be able to find them; 

Could you ask the plugin authors why you will be unable to find them, Isn't the plugin strings localized properly?

I also wanted to know that the sentences that you want to manually register are existing in plugins strings?

Normally to register string manually you can use the following action "wpml_register_single_string" to know more about this please view the following documentation https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_register_single_string/

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.

Thanks

Hi there,

#3
The code you have presented is OK. 🙂

#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

Hi there,

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/
