This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client needed to update a custom string in the AMP theme footer but encountered issues with the string translations not working after the update.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps:
1. Remove the custom HTML code from AMP > Settings > Advanced Settings > Enter HTML in Footer, as this code is not used for translation strings.
<footer>
<!-- Your existing footer content here -->
<!-- Container for the fixed button -->
<div class="amp-button-container">
<a href="https://firstderm.com/ask-online-dermatologist/" class="amp-button">CLICK TO ASK A DERMATOLOGIST</a>
</div>
</footer>
2. Ensure that the code to register the string for translation is enabled in the
functions.php
file within the child theme folder.
function register_strings_for_translation() {
if (function_exists('icl_register_string')) {
icl_register_string('first-derm-footer', 'amp-button-text', 'CLICK TO ASK A DERMATOLOGIST');
}
}
add_action('init', 'register_strings_for_translation');
3. Re-translate the string in WPML > String Translation.
After following these steps, the translation string in the footer should display correctly.

Tell us what you are trying to do? Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? hidden link After my last ticket I need to update the text. But after doing that, the strings translations don't work. What should I do?

Hi there, Thank you for contacting WPML support, I’m happy to help you with this issue. After reading the previous ticket and the suggestion of my colleague, I fixed the issue on your with the following steps: 1. Remove the custom HTML code in AMP > Settings > Advanced Settings > Enter HTML in Footer. This is the HTML code and is not used for translation strings. <footer>
<!-- Your existing footer content here -->
<!-- Container for the fixed button -->
<div class="amp-button-container">
<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em>" class="amp-button">CLICK TO ASK A DERMATOLOGIST</a>
</div>
</footer>
2. Enable the code to register string for translation in the file functions.php under the child theme folder function register_strings_for_translation() {
if (function_exists('icl_register_string')) {
icl_register_string('first-derm-footer', 'amp-button-text', 'CLICK TO ASK A DERMATOLOGIST');
}
}
add_action('init', 'register_strings_for_translation');
3. Re-translate the string in WPML > String Translation. Now you can see the translation string in the footer is displayed correctly. Looking forward to your reply.  |
