Translated strings from kadence email customizer not working

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

Problem:
The client uses the Plugin Kadence Email Customizer but some of the strings are not appearing translated e.g. body text, additional content.

Solution:
The following code solved the issue in this case. It can be added to the theme´s functions.php file:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: WPML Fix for Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer
*/
add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_format_string', function ($string, $email) {
    $string =  apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_kt_woomail', '[kt_woomail]customer_processing_order_body' );
    $string =  apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_woocommerce_customer_processing_order_settings', '[woocommerce_customer_processing_order_settings]additional_content' );
    return $string;
}, 21, 2);

Heading text istead is takeing into account. This is not acceptable in order to run a multilanguage site as adverstised by the product which support string translation. Thank youi in advance for your help.

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Thank you for contacting the WPML Support Forum. Are you referring to this plugin? Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer https://wordpress.org/plugins/kadence-woocommerce-email-designer/ The plugin is not yet in our compatibility list and was not tested, neither we do have documentation about it yet, but in case we can not solve the issue I will be able to try to reproduce the issue on a new install and escalate for testing and fixes. https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/?wpv_view_count=119945&dev=0&wpv-plugin-functionality=0&wpv_post_search=Kadence+WooCommerce+Email+Designer&wpv_paged=1 Please try the following first: 1) Go to String Translation 2) Choose the option "translate texts in admin screens" at the bottom of the page 3) Locate the text_domain for the plugin (there might be various in some cases) 4) Try to locate the missing strings and mark their checkboxes 5) Finally, scroll to the bottom of the page and "Apply" the changes. The strings should now show up on String Translation. Let me know if you need further assistance. Kind regards Andreas

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Please let me know if you need any assistance with locating the strings. I am sending an access request just in case: I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to a testing site where the issue is replicated. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it. Maybe I'll need to replicate your site locally. For this, I’ll need to temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” on your site. This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Once the problem is resolved I will delete the local site. Let me know if this is ok with you. IMPORTANT Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access. If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link Kind regards Andreas

alessioS-15	Hello Andreas, the point is that strings are available in the string translation. Even after I translate them there the translation are not being used. I would invite to try on as installation of woocommerce. I had a sandbox related to another issue if you want I can reproduce there with Kadence. Let me know. cheers, A

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Thank you for your patience. I was able to recreate the issue. Can you confirm that you receive the same issue as seen on the screenshot or is there another issue apart of that? For some reason the .mo-file translation is not working as expected and also trying to translate on String Translation does not solve the issue. I am escalating the issue towards our compatibility team and I will be in contact as soon I received feedback. Kind regards Andreas kadence string not translated.JPG

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, We have created a plugin that solves the issue. You can download it here: hidden link Here the code of the plugin which also should work when beeing added to your theme´s functions.php file: <?php /* Plugin Name: WPML Fix for Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer */ add_filter( 'woocommerce_email_format_string', function ($string, $email) { $string = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_kt_woomail', '[kt_woomail]customer_processing_order_body' ); $string = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_woocommerce_customer_processing_order_settings', '[woocommerce_customer_processing_order_settings]additional_content' ); return $string; }, 21, 2); Kind regards Andreas

Andreas W. Supporter Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Thank you for your message. It worked on our test site. I would advise you go with the plugin version as in case you experience any issue it can be simply deactivated without the need for editing theme¿s functions.php file and it should further do its job when switching the theme. I hope this is a suitable solution for you. Kind regards Andreas

Marcin	hi, we have same/similar issue but your solution doesn't solve it: order complete email title is not translated, changing string/removing translations doesn't help adding to your code $string = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings', '[woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject' ); helps but not exactly - order number in string "Order #{order_number} has been completed!" stops to be filled in with real number in emails (stays as "code") adding apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $string, 'admin_texts_kt_woomail', '[kt_woomail]customer_processing_order_body' ); does mess things totally - text from body content shows in title

thomasK-90	I am also facing this issue. The shipment email title is not translated, which is this one in the string translation. [woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject [woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading Both of them are translated in the backend, but not showing in the emails. Email body texts are translated, which is this one　[kt_woomail]customer_processing_order_body The fix above didn't help. Instead, it replaced [woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]subject [woocommerce_customer_completed_order_settings]heading with the text of this [kt_woomail]customer_processing_order_body Could you help?
