Problem: The client was unable to see the 'Place Order' button on the WooCommerce checkout page when viewing the site in the Arabic language. A PHP fatal error related to an unknown format specifier was identified in the debug log. Solution: We resolved the issue by following the steps outlined in our documentation on PHP 8 PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier in. The specific string causing the issue was located in the file
on line 44. We re-translated the string in WPML > String Translation, ensuring that the placeholder tags "%1$s" and "%2$s" were kept the same in the translation.
