Problem: The client is experiencing issues with untranslated strings in the cart and checkout sections of their WooCommerce site after updates, despite using WPML's string translation features. Solution: We replicated the client's site in a local environment to investigate the issue. It was found that the untranslated strings are part of the WooCommerce blocks, dynamically served and not standard translatable strings in the database. After further investigation, it was determined that these strings are added through JavaScript, which WPML does not natively support for scanning and translating. We recommend using the "Loco Translate" plugin as a workaround to handle these translations. This plugin can be used alongside WPML to translate strings that are managed through JavaScript within blocks.

Problem: In the Spanish version of a multilingual webshop, the client is unable to set display conditions in Elementor for the Spanish category 'JUEGO TABLAS'. Despite the taxonomy hierarchy being synchronized, only Slovenian categories are available for selection. Solution: We discovered that the issue was due to the use of an outdated 'Products' widget in Elementor, which was deprecated since version 4.1.3. We recommended switching to the 'Products Grid' widget. After making this change, the client should verify if the translated archive displays correctly by checking the front end.

Problem: The client is unable to see the URL ACF field for translation on their website. Solution: We identified that the URL type field was set to 'Copy' under the 'Same fields across languages' option in the ACF groups. To enable translation for this field, the client needs to switch the translation option of the 'Dodatno mize' field group to 'Expert' mode. For more details on default settings and how to switch to Expert mode, please refer to the following documentation links:

Problem: The client is trying to set different prices for the same product in different languages on their WooCommerce site without using a multi-currency setup. They are unsure if the WPML Custom Fields Translation settings are sufficient for this purpose.
Solution: We advised the client to check if any other plugins might be affecting the pricing since WPML typically does not support different prices for the same product in different languages without a multi-currency setup. We suggested reviewing the settings and possibly disabling other plugins that might interfere with WPML's functionality. For further assistance, we requested temporary access to the site to investigate the issue more thoroughly.

Problem: The client is using Revolution Slider with shortcodes on a homepage and is facing issues with translating the carousel shortcode using WPML. The client finds that after editing the page and updating the translation, the shortcode updates incorrectly. Solution: 1. Ensure that the Revolution Slider shortcodes are added to the page and make a small change to the page title, then save the page. 2. Update the translation and check if the shortcodes are visible in "WPML > String Translation". 3. If using the WPML Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), avoid mixing translation methods as manual changes will be overwritten. Instead, follow the guide on creating multilingual sliders with Revolution Slider and WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/creating-multilingual-sliders-with-revolution-slider-and-wpml/ 4. If the shortcode is still not appearing, ensure it is registered for translation as per the guide on translating custom shortcodes with WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/translate-custom-shortcodes-with-wpml/#making-shortcodes-translatable 5. After registering, make a small edit to the page containing the shortcode and save the changes, then update the translation.

Problem: You want to translate bank account details in WooCommerce to Croatian using WPML, but you only have one bank account and need to disable the second one. Solution: Since WooCommerce Multilingual translates content on a 1:1 basis, here are a few approaches you can consider: 1) Implement custom code to handle different bank accounts based on the language. 2) Translate all content, using placeholders (e.g., empty spaces) for fields that should remain empty. 3) Use CSS to hide specific sections for a particular language. Note that WooCommerce might use the same class names for both sets of bank details, which may require additional customization to target them properly. Alternatively, you can use a regular space or an ASCII whitespace character to make the second bank account details "invisible". You can find various ASCII whitespace symbols here.

This problem occurred without any updates being made initially, but persisted even after updating and scanning for new translations.

load_textdomain
'. This adjustment has resolved the issue for other clients experiencing similar problems.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where prices change incorrectly when the String Translation plugin is enabled, it might be due to custom code in your theme. Specifically, the issue arises from a line in the child theme's
functions.php
file that incorrectly replaces text related to price display. Solution: We recommend checking the
functions.php
file in your child theme, specifically around line 51. Look for the following line of code:
To resolve the issue, you can either comment out or remove this line. This change should correct the price display by preventing the alteration of admin string names that affect how prices are shown.

Problem: The client installed the "Give PW" plugin and used WPML to translate its strings. Although all strings were found and translated, half of them are not appearing translated on the frontend.
Solution: We discovered that some strings originate from JavaScript files like
or TypeScript files, which WPML cannot translate. Additionally, some strings such as "Payment Amount" appear in the String Translation but are sourced from different parts of the plugin, leading to confusion as they are not used in the form itself. To resolve this, the client should refer to the plugin's documentation for translating strings or contact the plugin author for more guidance. It's also noted that the Slovenian translations for the plugin on wordpress.org are only 4% complete. The client can contribute to the translations here or use another tool as suggested in the plugin's documentation.
