[Feature Request] WooCommerce Reviews on "Reviews Block"

Hi,

can you confirm if the block works when the workaround (child theme) is deactivated?

If not, we may need to reproduce this issue in a sandbox environment. It's unclear why it worked in the linked example, but not on your side. The current workaround should not interfere here, and ideally, no additional workaround should be needed, as the block implementation is technically different from the one on the product page.

Best regards,
Marcel

Hi,

yes please! I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to 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:
hidden link"">hidden link;

Best Regards,
Marcel

Hi,

Apologies for the delay. I needed extra time to test this in a sandbox environment to ensure accurate results.

This behavior appears to be expected. I attempted to reproduce the issue in an isolated sandbox environment, and the results were the same:

Translated reviews do not appear in the Review block:
- hidden link">English Reviews
- hidden link">Spanish Reviews
Reviews are only displayed in the language they were originally created in, based on the checkbox setting in WooCommerce → WooCommerce Multilingual. They do not appear as "(translated)."

Given that this functionality is not currently supported, we will need to handle this as a feature request.

Hi,

We've found a temporary workaround for this issue:

Add the following code to your child theme's functions.php file or use the Code Snippets plugin:

add_filter( 'get_comment', 'translate_comment' );
function translate_comment( $comment ){

    if ( !is_singular('product') && isset( $comment->comment_type ) && $comment->comment_type === 'review' && isset( $comment->comment_content ) ) {
        $name = 'product-'.$comment->comment_post_ID.'-review-'.$comment->comment_ID;
        $comment->comment_content = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $comment->comment_content, 'wcml-reviews', $name );
    }
    
    return $comment;
}

2) This will load the translated reviews as viewable here: hidden link and here hidden link. We will internally handle this as a feature request.

Best Regards,
Marcel

Hi,

Since this is a feature request rather than a bug, I can’t confirm anything at this stage. Our developers will assess its priority based on demand, and there’s still a possibility that the implementation may be reconsidered.

As best, follow this Erratum:
