Split: Translating the Coming Soon Badge

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The images added with the "Coming Soon Badge" plugin can't be translated with WPML Media Translation.
Solution:
We recommend switching to the text badge instead of the image badge then trying the following steps after ensuring you have a full backup of your site:
1. Navigate to WooCommerce > Coming Soon config.
2. Change to the text badge for the loop and product page.
3. Translate the text in WPML > String Translation.
4. Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/coming-soon-for-woocommerce/coming-soon-for-woocommerce.php.
5. Replace the code at line 945 from:

$Coming_Soon_WC = new Coming_Soon_WC();

to:

add_action('plugins_loaded', function () {
	$Coming_Soon_WC = new Coming_Soon_WC();
}, 999);

This should resolve the issue for the text badge. You can also suggest to the plugin authors to join our Go Global program to ensure better compatibility.

dawoodH	Hello, thanks for your help! I've put the updated images in Media Translation but the images don't update in the translated versions of the website, is that a problem related to the "Coming Soon Badge" plugin? And is there a way to fix it?

Mohamed Sayed	I checked the plugin but I couldn't find more clues, the custom image/text can be translated in Media Translation and String Translation but not on the front end. I'm consulting our 2nd tier support team about this issue and will update you once I get their reply. Please note that the "Coming Soon Badge for WooCommerce" plugin is not listed on the WPML compatibility list for the plugins - https://wpml.org/plugin/. This means that our compatibility team has not tested it, so it could be a compatibility issue. I suggest contacting the plugin author and asking them to join our Go Global program so our compatibility team can work with them to make the plugin compatible with WPML, they can join at this link: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ Kind regards, Mohamed
