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

Problem:
You want to translate bank account details in WooCommerce to Croatian using WPML, but you only have one bank account and need to disable the second one.
Solution:
Since WooCommerce Multilingual translates content on a 1:1 basis, here are a few approaches you can consider:
1) Implement custom code to handle different bank accounts based on the language.
2) Translate all content, using placeholders (e.g., empty spaces) for fields that should remain empty.
3) Use CSS to hide specific sections for a particular language. Note that WooCommerce might use the same class names for both sets of bank details, which may require additional customization to target them properly.
Alternatively, you can use a regular space or an ASCII whitespace character to make the second bank account details "invisible". You can find various ASCII whitespace symbols here.

If these solutions do not apply to your case, or if they seem outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Also, check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

That is not possible, you can either translate this to some other value for 2nd language, or you can set a different payment gateway/bank account per currency:

- https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/#choosing-which-payment-gateways-to-display-based-on-customer-location

Maybe something similar is possible with custom code in Wocommerce and hiding another bank account if the client's billing address is Croatia / Slovenia.

Regards,
Drazen

I'm not sure you understood me. I'm not trying to have multi currency.

I have 2 bank accounts for slovenian customers
SI BANK 1
SI BANK 2

I have 1 bank account for customers
HR BANK 3

I translated strings from SI BANK 1 to HR BANK 3. But how do I disable a second bank? I don't want it to appear in croatian customers emails
hidden link

Do I just translate it and use empty spaces?

Hi,

Please note that WooCommerce Multilingual is designed to translate content on a 1:1 basis. If the bank accounts need to differ based on the language, there are several potential solutions:

1)Implement custom code to handle this functionality yourself.

2) Translate all content, but use placeholders (e.g., empty spaces) for the fields that should remain empty.

3) Use CSS to hide specific sections for a particular language. However, it’s likely that WooCommerce uses the same class names for both sets of bank details, which may require additional customization to target them properly.
Let me know if you'd like assistance exploring any of these options further!

Let me know if you need further clarification or assistance with any of these approaches!

Best regards,

If empty spaces do the trick that's ok for me.
I remember I had some king of a problem a while ago, because one of my string translations had en empty space at the end.

You can try using a regular space or an ASCII whitespace character instead. There are several ASCII hidden link">whitespace symbols that are "invisible".
