Problem:
The client needed to translate the 'Open filter' and 'Close filter' buttons for the HUSKY - Products Filter Professional for WooCommerce plugin but was unable to do so using the standard WPML string translation methods.
Solution:
1. Make admin strings translatable:
- Navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration, paste the following code and click on "Save":
<wpml-config>
<admin-texts>
<key name="woof_settings">
<key name="text_mobile_behavior_open" />
<key name="text_mobile_behavior_close" />
</key>
</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>
- Go to WPML > String Translation and translate both strings "[woof_settings]text_mobile_behavior_open" and "[woof_settings]text_mobile_behavior_close".
2. Edit the plugin's code:
- Open
/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-products-filter/views/woof.php
- Locate line 545 and replace:
$text_mb_open = (isset($this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_open'])) ? $this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_open'] : esc_html__('Open filter', 'woocommerce-products-filter');
$text_mb_close = (isset($this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_close'])) ? $this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_close'] : esc_html__('Close filter', 'woocommerce-products-filter');
with:
$text_mb_open = (isset($this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_open'])) ? esc_html__($this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_open'], 'admin_texts_woof_settings') : esc_html__('Open filter', 'woocommerce-products-filter');
$text_mb_close = (isset($this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_close'])) ? esc_html__($this->settings['text_mobile_behavior_close'], 'admin_texts_woof_settings') : esc_html__('Close filter', 'woocommerce-products-filter');
