[Resolved] We have troubles with a po/mo file from apl that isn't used for translations

Hi,

There is a workaround to make the English language show in the dropdown list when importing the PO file. Please follow steps below:

1. Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/menu/string-translation.php

2. Around line 671, replace the code:

foreach ( $active_languages as $al ) :
	if ( $al['code'] == $string_settings['strings_language'] ) {
		continue;}
	?>

with this one

foreach ( $active_languages as $al ) :	?>

3 Around line 746, repeat step 2.

❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks

Hi,

After updating the plugin WPML String Translation to the new version 3.2.10, the translation strings are displayed in the frontend as well. Please check the attached screenshot.
However, it doesn't work with the latest version 3.2.11. I'm not sure what's wrong with your custom plugin.

I made a test by adding the code below to the file functions.php in the custom plugin and a standard theme of WordPress (2021). Only the translation string in the theme is displayed.

add_action( 'wp_footer', function() {
    echo __( "WPML test string", 'wc-wintree');
});

I suggest you get in touch with your developer and check the issue with the custom plugin. If you are not able to accomplish this, I would recommend you contact one of our certified partners who will be more than happy to help you with this.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi,

I'm not sure what the root issue is on your site but I tried to replicate the issue on a clean installation of WordPress, install only your plugin and didn't see that. If you want to take a look, please click on this link hidden link

Also, after restoring your site on my localhost, I find a workaround to fix the issue with your instance when using WPML String Translation 3.2.11.

1. Go to WPML > Languages > Change the default language to English.
2. Go to WPML > Theme and plugins localization > Scan strings in the custom plugin wc-wintree.
3. Go to WPML > String Translation > Import the PO file.
4. Check the translation strings in the frontend, if it works properly, you can change the default language back to Dutch.

I hope that helps.

I'm waiting for your feedback.

Thanks.
