Dear,

I'm trying to translate the word "Cost of Goods" in WPML. I already translated all those with those words but it still appears in enlglish.

Can you help please?
Thanks

Hi,

Can you tell me once you get the WPML wizard configured?

And try to emulate this issue here, on this sandbox installation.

Hi,

The ticket will get closed after about 10 days without any activity. However, can you tell me if you can emulate the same behavior on this clean sandbox installation?

Let me know once you get there, so that I can see the issue happening here, as I'm not sure how to get this text showing up, part of which WooCommerce part is it.

Regards,

Yes I did. I made all the settings and the label "cost of goods" still doesn't show up.

Hi,

To solve this, in wp-content/plugins/yith-cost-of-goods-for-woocommerce-premium/includes/class.yith-cog-orders.php
lines 197 and 242 replace:

echo 'Cost of Goods'

with:

_e('Cost of Goods', 'WordPress')

You can see it works here:

You're basically asking me to change the code of an external application? What kind of bad solution this is? You're supposed to be the TOP 1 translations plugin and this simple string doesn't show up in the tool ?

Please investigate and fix it.
Thanks

Hi,

That is correct - if you want to have this string showing its translation, you will have to follow our code suggestion. Otherwise it will not work in any way.

The fact that WPML is the best translation plugin out there does not mean that it can detect and resolve improper code which comes from third-party plugins or themes, especially in cases like this where they have not prepared this string for translation. Specifically, I'm talking about I18n for WordPress Developers, which you can read more about here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers#Translatable_strings

And you can find exactly why this isn't working, not only with WPML, but will not work with any internationalization plugin - the cause is the improper use when following I18n rules.

If I can allow myself to compare this with something, then it will be like saying that WordPress is bad because the hosting company where one would like to host their site only provides PHP version 5.1, not allowing WordPress to run because minimum requirements are not met.

If there's anything else related to this particular case and have any questions, let me know.

Regards,
Bruno Kos
