I need the FTP access credentials. Could you get this info from your hosting provider? Or can I install 3rd party plugin on your Website to download the required plugins from your Website?
Hello Kor,
Thank you so much!, do I have to do something with that code?,
How can I change the "English language" texts? *I send you a screenshot
Thank you!
I had changed these phrases (there are some that didn't work) with Loco Translate because with WPML I didn't know how to... Do I have to delete what I changed in Loco Translate first and uninstall that plugin?, in case it interferes with WPML...
Please note, WPML was not created to change texts/words. It was meant to translate the words. So what you are trying is simply not a feature of WPML.
Anyhow, we can try following steps to change the strings in original or primary language. This may work depend on how the plugins/theme (which has the string that you want to translate) is built. Here are the two methods to customize it.
Method 1 :
Edit the hard coded texts over here hidden link . Then, perform a scan and translate it.
Method 2 :
1. Go to WPML->Languages-> Add new language -> Add a random language
2. Then scroll down and hide this language.
3. Now go back to WPML->String Translation->Select your string -> Change language of string to the newly added hidden language.
4. Now you will have an option to “translate” it on the original language of the theme.
Yet, this is NOT a good solution, this should work by default.
Could you give it a try and let me know how it goes?
Hello Kor,
Thank you very much!,
I have changed it with Method 1 and it goes perfect :).
Just the last question,
I still have Loco Translate installed, because I have the following words translated there *(screenshot attached)
Do you recommend me to translate them differently in WPML and uninstall Loco Translate?
Thank you very much!
Loco Translate will only make changes to your language files. So, it's fine to remove it. But ofcourse, always backup before you remove/update a plugin.
Thanks!
