[Resolved] woocommerce cart translation

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

Problem:

You are experiencing a translation issue on your WooCommerce frontend after updating to WordPress 6.7, despite implementing a fix from a Git repository.

Solution:

We recommend following these steps to address the issue:

1) Navigate to WPML>>Settings>>Custom XML Configuration.
2) Insert the following language configuration code in the Custom XML Configuration editor and save:

<wpml-config>
  <elementor-widgets>
    <widget name="pp-woo-cart">
      <fields>
        <field>update_cart_button_text</field>
        <field>apply_coupon_button_text</field>
        <field>totals_section_title</field>
        <field>update_shipping_button_text</field>
        <field>checkout_button_text</field>
      </fields>
    </widget>
  </elementor-widgets>
</wpml-config>

3) Visit the frontend.
4) Go to WPML>>String Translation and translate the strings, then visit the cart page.

Ensure to perform a full site backup before applying these changes. If necessary, adjust the language of the strings to English or add strings for the Cart page in German using the PowerPack Pro widget, as detailed in our guide on how to change the source language of strings.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check our related known issues and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to fix a translation issue on my WooCommerce frontend after updating to WordPress 6.7. I have implemented a fix from a Git repository, but it did not resolve the issue.

Symptoms:
My frontend WooCommerce translation is broken after updating to WordPress 6.7.

Questions:
Is this issue part of the known issue described here: https://wpml.org/errata/missing-translations-on-front-end/?
Is the issue I am experiencing the same as described in the documentation?

Hi

Can you assist me a little further.

I need to paste this entirely in my functions.php file of the Elementor child theme?
Or do I need changes on this snippet.

add_action('after_setup_theme', function() {
load_theme_textdomain('our_theme_name_domain', get_template_directory() . '/languages');

add_action('init', function() {
global $l10n, $wp_textdomain_registry;
$domain = 'our_theme_name_domain';
$locale = get_locale();
$wp_textdomain_registry->set($domain, $locale, get_template_directory() . '/languages');
if ( isset( $l10n[ $domain ] )) {
unset( $l10n[ $domain ] );
}
load_theme_textdomain($domain, get_template_directory() . '/languages');
});

Hello,

Thank you for the updates. Please add the following code in functions.php of your child theme after a full site backup as a workaround for now. 

add_action('init', function() {
  global $l10n, $wp_textdomain_registry;
  //Use your theme domain name here
  $domain = 'our_theme_name_domain';
  $locale = get_locale();
  $wp_textdomain_registry->set($domain, $locale, get_template_directory() . '/languages');
  if ( isset( $l10n[ $domain ] )) {
    unset( $l10n[ $domain ] );
  }
  load_theme_textdomain($domain, get_template_directory() . '/languages');
});

Hi,

Unfortunately this does not fix the issue. Cart text remains untranslated.

Thanks

About the snippet: theme domain name:
I changed this value to my theme name, I hope this was right? Tried several options, but none of them worked.

Hi

Since there is not yet a solution available: what will be the WPML timeframe for looking at the issue? The issue has been reported 14 days ago.

Thanks, Jen

Hi Jen,

Sorry for the late response. One request. We have released a new version of WPML String Translation (3.2.16). It has included the fixes for similar issues. So please upgrade to the latest version after a full site backup and clear all types of caches. Then make sure the bug exists or not.

You may have to visit the Plugins>>Add New>> Commercial tab and click on the *Check for updates* button to get the WPML automatic upgrade links for the latest version. This step will help us refresh the installer caches.
