[Resolved] update wordpress 6.7 issues with plugin Woocommerce Germanized pro

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

Problem:
After updating to WordPress 6.7, translations for WooCommerce Germanized Pro are appearing in English instead of German, despite receiving an email about WPML 4.6.14 ensuring compatibility.

To be more precise:

The mentioned fix works, BUT ONLY if there is no translation file at /wp-content/languages/wpml/

As soon as you edit at least one string for Germanized Pro, so that a .mo file is created at /wp-content/languages/wpml/, the fix falls apart and everything is English again for Germanized Pro.

Hi, Edmund.

I have an update on this issue.

After intensive investigation, our second-tier supporter (who also consulted our developers) found the source of the problem and escalated it to our developers. Our second-tier supporter has provided a workaround for this problem.

1. Edit this file wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-germanized-pro/woocommerce-germanized-pro.php with a code editor:

2. In line 772, you will find this code:

                        load_textdomain( 'woocommerce-germanized-pro', trailingslashit( WP_LANG_DIR ) . 'woocommerce-germanized-pro/woocommerce-germanized-pro-' . $locale . '.mo' );
			load_plugin_textdomain( 'woocommerce-germanized-pro', false, plugin_basename( __DIR__ ) . '/i18n/languages/' );

3. You need to replace the lines, so load_plugin_textdomain will be called before load_textdomain. So this is the correct/fix code:

			load_plugin_textdomain( 'woocommerce-germanized-pro', false, plugin_basename( __DIR__ ) . '/i18n/languages/' );
			load_textdomain( 'woocommerce-germanized-pro', trailingslashit( WP_LANG_DIR ) . 'woocommerce-germanized-pro/woocommerce-germanized-pro-' . $locale . '.mo' );

4. Save the file.

**** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with those steps****

Now, the Germanized for WooCommerce Pro strings should show in German as it was before the problem started.

Please let us know if this workaround works for you.

Thanks,
Itamar.
