Problem: The client is unable to export the English .po file for "String Translation" as the dropdown list does not show English as an option, despite the website's origin language being Japanese with sub-languages including English, two Chinese, and Korean. Solution: We recommend the following steps after ensuring a full site backup. It will be fixed in WPML 4.6. 1) Modify the following line of code:
<?php foreach($active_languages as $al): if($al['code']==$string_settings['strings_language']) continue; ?>
in the files at: - wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/menu/string-translation.php, Line 645 - wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/menu/string-translation.php, Line 723 Replace it with:
<?php foreach($active_languages as $al): ?>
2) Save the changes. 3) Navigate to WPML > String Translation. Select 'Also create translations according to the .po file' and choose English from the dropdown (which should now appear), then import them.
