In the functions.php for the above site we have the following code:

function awcfe_profiel_dropdown_field( $fields ) {

$profiel_args = wp_parse_args( array(
'type' => 'select',
'options' => array(
'' => __( 'Selecteer profiel' ),
'FCA deelnemer' => 'FCA deelnemer',
'FCA auditor' => 'FCA auditor',
'FCA consulent' => 'FCA consulent',
'auditor' => 'Auditor',
'consulent' => 'Consulent',
'andere' => 'Andere',
),
'input_class' => array(
'country_select',
)
), $fields['billing']['billing_profiel'] );

$fields['billing']['billing_profiel'] = $profiel_args;

return $fields;

}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'awcfe_profiel_dropdown_field', 999999, 1 );

The text is not translated into English and French. What should I do to make it translatable?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum.

I think that you should add a domain name to your translation function. For example:

__( 'Selecteer profiel', 'domaine_name_here' )

References:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/translating-the-theme-you-created/
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/__/

- After that you can rescan your theme in "WPML > Theme and plugins localization"
- Then go to "WPML > String Translation" to find those strings and translate them

This what i did:

function awcfe_profiel_dropdown_field( $fields ) {

$profiel_args = wp_parse_args( array(
'type' => 'select',
'options' => array(
'' => __( 'Selecteer profiel', 'ovocom-academy.com' ),
'FCA deelnemer' => 'FCA deelnemer',
'FCA auditor' => 'FCA auditor',
'FCA consulent' => 'FCA consulent',
'auditor' => 'Auditor',
'consulent' => 'Consulent',
'andere' => 'Andere',
),
'input_class' => array(
'country_select',
)
), $fields['billing']['billing_profiel'] );

$fields['billing']['billing_profiel'] = $profiel_args;

return $fields;

}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields', 'awcfe_profiel_dropdown_field', 999999, 1 );

The strings are not showing.

Hello,

Here is a video where I followed exactly the steps I instructed in my previous answer and I can see the string now in "WPML > String translation".

Let me know if it helps you or please give me more details on the issue because for me it seems to work correctly.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply. That works for me too. But that's not the only thing that needs translation.
This is what is still not working:

'FCA deelnemer' => 'FCA deelnemer',
'FCA auditor' => 'FCA auditor',
'FCA consulent' => 'FCA consulent',
'auditor' => 'Auditor',
'consulent' => 'Consulent',
'andere' => 'Andere',

How do i translate that?
Thank you!

Hello,

I'm sorry if I didn't explain myself enough. You need to use the __() function for each text:

'FCA deelnemer' => __( 'FCA deelnemer', 'ovocom-academy.com' ),
'FCA auditor' => __( 'FCA auditor', 'ovocom-academy.com' ),
'FCA consulent' => 'FCA consulent', 'ovocom-academy.com' ),
'auditor' => __( 'Auditor', 'ovocom-academy.com' ),
'consulent' => __( 'Consulent', 'ovocom-academy.com' ),
'andere' => __( 'Andere', 'ovocom-academy.com' ),

1. Please always make a backup of your your functions.php before modifying it.
2. Remember to rescan the theme in "WPML > Theme and plugins localization"
3. Then texts will be available in "WPML > String Translation"

Have a great weekend,
Nico
