[Resolved] I have problem with translating Ninja Forms to Croatian

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

Problem:
You are trying to translate Ninja Forms date picker string. While in one language it works in another it doesn't
Solution:
The issue might be related to known problems with several themes and plugins not loading translations correctly in WPML. Specifically, you can refer to these errata pages for more details:

To resolve the issue with Ninja Forms, please follow these steps:
1. Ensure you make a full backup of your website.
2. Navigate to 

wp-content/plugins/ninja-forms/ninja-forms.php

and locate line 779.
3. Change the following line of code:

unload_textdomain('ninja-forms');

to:

unload_textdomain('ninja-forms', true);

This modification has been tested and should help resolve the translation issues.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please open a new support ticket.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate Ninja Forms contact form from English to Croatian and German on my site hidden link. The German translation is working fine.

Symptoms:
In the Croatian translation, the fields 'check in' and 'check out' calendar fields are not translated (moths and days), and the string 'Fields marked with an * are required' that I translated did not show up correctly.

Questions:
Why are the 'check in' and 'check out' calendar fields not translated to Croatian?
Why is the translated string 'Fields marked with an * are required' not displaying correctly in Croatian?

Hi,

As you are using WPML 4.7, you can take advantage of the new feature described here:
https://wpml.org/changelog/2025/02/wpml-4-7-announcement/

Under the section: Easy Theme & Plugin String Translations

Point 2: Find the Other texts (Strings) section on the Translation Dashboard and select the Frontend (viewed) filter

I suggest viewing the video in the documentation I've shared, it's short and clear IMHO.

Let me know if this helps

Best Regards,
Otto

Hello,

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Please try the following:
- Go to Dashboard > Updates
- At the bottom, you'll see a "Translations" section (see the screenshot attached)
- If there is a button to update the translation please click on it

If there isn't or this does not solve the problem:
I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site so I can take a better look at the issue.
It would be better to have 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” or "All in One WP Migration" 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:

Hello,

Thanks.

I created a copy of your site and made several tests locally but couldn't find a solution.

I escalated the issue to our second-tier support. I'll get back to you as soon as I have news.

Hello,

Thanks for your patience.

The issue is related to this:
https://wpml.org/errata/php-error-wp-6-7-notice-function-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called/

several themes and plugins are having issues, like this other one:
https://wpml.org/errata/wp-6-7-translations-not-loaded-for-elessi-theme/

In this case, we need to do the following:

❌ Please make a full website backup before proceeding ❌

in wp-content/plugins/ninja-forms/ninja-forms.php, line 779

change this:

unload_textdomain('ninja-forms');

to this:

unload_textdomain('ninja-forms', true);

I tested it and it worked for me, can you please give it a try?

Best Regards,
Otto
