Problem: The client was experiencing issues with the WPML String Translation for the Redi Restaurant Reservation plugin. Translations for Catalan language were not appearing correctly on the frontend, showing in English instead of Catalan, unless the "Auto register strings for translation" option was enabled.
Solution: 1. We recommended updating all WPML plugins to the latest version and ensuring a full backup of the website before making any updates. 2. After the update, we advised clearing the website's cache, including server-side. 3. The client resolved the issue by changing the "Default locale" code for the Catalan language from "ca_ES" to "ca". 4. We explained that the default locale should match the one set by WordPress, as found on WordPress Polyglots Teams. 5. To set "ca_ES" as the default locale, the client would need to create a new custom language, following the instructions provided in our documentation: Editing WPML's Languages Table.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket in the WPML support forum.
