[Closed] String translations not showing up on frontend. Some do and some don't

To troubleshoot this problem, I'll install the Duplicator plugin and generate packages for further debugging purposes. I'll ensure to exclude all media files to maintain a minimal package size. You can find more information about the process here: [link](https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/). Please confirm if this approach is acceptable to you.

This has been escalated to our 2nd tier team team and may take some debugging time, I'll get back to you as soon as I have any news or questions for you.

The issue is related to the code found in the Astra Pro plugin, specifically in the file:

`astra\wp-content\plugins\astra-addon\addons\woocommerce\classes\class-astra-ext-woocommerce-markup.php` at line 1156.

The relevant part of the code is:

if ( isset( $extras_list['items'] ) ) {
    // We are assuming that the user won't add more than 10 extra items.
    $translatable_item_labels = array(
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 1', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 2', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 3', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 4', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 5', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 6', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 7', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 8', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 9', 'astra-addon' ),
        _x( '%astra%', 'Extras item 10', 'astra-addon' ),
    );
}

To translate these texts, you can't use the typical method for admin text strings. Instead, you need to:

1. Scan the Astra Pro plugin under the `astra-addon` text domain.
2. Locate the `%astra%` texts in the plugin.
3. Provide translations for each label. For example:
- For **Extras item 1**, provide the German translation for the first extra item.
- For **Extras item 2**, provide the translation for the second extra item, and so on.

We tested this solution on our local site, and it resolved the issue.

Can you try?

I see, do you mean this happens? If so, you can apply this workaround?

Yes, we installed WP-Adminer to check the values stored in the wp_options table and the string translation tables directly.

If the translation issue has been resolved and everything is working as expected now, you can delete the plugin.
