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

Problem:
The client is using the Klarna Payments for WooCommerce plugin and is unable to find the plugin's strings translated into Greek in the string translation to translate them into English, despite scanning the plugin and theme and using various translation options.
Solution:
We recommend modifying the plugin's code to ensure WPML correctly identifies and translates the strings. Follow these steps:
1. Edit the file at

wp-content/plugins/klarna-payments-for-woocommerce/vendor/krokedil/klarna-onsite-messaging/src/Utility.php

2. Replace the existing

get_locale_from_currency

function with the following code:

public static function get_locale_from_currency() {<br />    $locale       = get_locale();<br />    $currency     = get_woocommerce_currency();<br />    $country_code = self::get_purchase_country();<br /><br />    if ($is_wpml_configured = apply_filters('wpml_setting', false, 'setup_complete') == 1) {<br />        if ($locale == "en_US") {<br />            $locale = "en-GR";<br />            return $locale;<br />        }<br />    }<br />}

Please ensure to back up your site before implementing these changes.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hello,

We have added Klarna payments in our client's e-shop and we are using Klarna Payments for WooCommerce plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/klarna-payments-for-woocommerce/.

The problem is that the plugin's strings are translated in Greek because the account is in Greek and we can not find them in string translation to translate them in English.
We have scaned the plugin and the theme, we have used translate in admin screen and Look for strings while pages are rendered option. Still we did not found anything.

Any solution?

Please try the following steps:

2- Go to WPML-> String Translation
3- Scroll down and click on the "Translate texts in admin screens »" link
4- Search for the needed strings
5- Select the strings
6- Click on the "Add to String Translation" button
7- Then click on the "« Return to String Translation" link
8- Translate the strings, clear the cache, and check the front end

Kindly check our guide to know more about translating texts in the admin texts screen. (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/)

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

I saw that you scanned the plugin and searched for the strings in String Translation, but I didn't notice that you checked the strings in the Admin Screen strings. Sorry about that.

Please share screenshots of the strings in the front end and dashboard (Plugin Settings).

Best regards,
Osama

The strings are are not in the plugin settings. This is a Greek product page hidden link. And this is an English one hidden link.

Hi,

Thanks for the screenshots. I can see the string in both languages in English. (Kindly check this hidden link)

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for the access details. I checked the issue and tried some workarounds with no luck.

When you are logged in, you will see the strings in Greek in both languages and when you are logged out, you will see the strings in English in both languages.

Please log in to this sandbox site and add the same message to the product page. (hidden link)

I installed the Klarna plugin, created a product, and translated it. (hidden link)

If the issue is replicable, please let me know to consult our compatibility team.

Best regards,
Osama

You need to add credentials to be able to view klarna payment method in the front end. We can not use ours because it needs a shop to connect and we have already connected it with our client's shop.

Can you contact with Klarna and get test credentials for the demo site?

Thanks!

Hello,

How long is it going to take?

Hi,

1) Our compatibility team is trying to contact the plugin author, and it will take some time to debug the issue and check if we can provide a workaround; hence, the plugin is not officially compatible with WPML.

2) It would be great if you could contact the plugin's support and consult them regarding this issue.

Best regards,
Osama

Hello guys,

How is it going? We have been waiting for 2 days to see if you have an account to conect with Klarna. I think we have been waiting for long.

Thanks!
