Wpml email subjects shortcodes

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

Problem:
Email shortcode that is used for email title is not translated

Solution:
the code used:

add_filter('woocommerce_email_subject_new_order', 'change_admin_email_subject', 1, 2);

function change_admin_email_subject( $subject, $order ) {
global $woocommerce;

$subject = str_replace( "{order_firstname}", $order->billing_first_name, $subject );
$subject = str_replace( "{order_lastname}", $order->billing_last_name, $subject );

return $subject;
}

Just needs to use priority after WCML :
11 for example

add_filter('woocommerce_email_subject_new_order', 'change_admin_email_subject', 11, 2);

and all will be fine.

John	When wpml is activated the following code gets disabled. add_filter('woocommerce_email_subject_new_order', 'change_admin_email_subject', 1, 2); function change_admin_email_subject( $subject, $order ) { global $woocommerce; $subject = str_replace( "{order_firstname}", $order->billing_first_name, $subject ); $subject = str_replace( "{order_lastname}", $order->billing_last_name, $subject ); return $subject; }

John	Password doesn't work ... :(, but it will be more faster...if you simple add the the code above in functions.php Then go to woocommerce new order email and put this as subject: New order from {order_firstname} {order_lastname} website ({order_number}) - {order_date} If wpml is activated you will see the order_firstname won't parse but if it is deactivated then this will work. Thanks waiting for your answer regarding this issue.

Riffaz Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Colombo (GMT+05:30)	Hi, I added the code to functions.php changed email subject in woocommerce new order email and I am getting same email subject with and without WPML. screenshot attached. You can check your self by changing the email to yours in WooCommerce > Settings > emails > new order > Manage > recipient hidden link username: wpml password: otgs So it works in a fresh installation as you expect. please try, 1) disable all the plugins except WPML and check 2) disable all the browser, server and plugin caches and try Let me know the results, please.

Riffaz Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Colombo (GMT+05:30)	Hi, Our developers finished checking. We don't have a workaround at this time. Also on another note - if you are using that hook, you won't probably get a translation of that string ever, so we suggest to change the string in the settings or template for the email instead. As it is a complex work and it should go to the core WCML we will need more time to find a workaround and implement it in the core WCML. We will update you again once we have a solution. Regards,
