Problem: You are trying to use a variable within functions.php in a custom shortcode for your WordPress site, but the text within the variable is not being recognized by WPML for translation. Solution: The strings you are attempting to translate are not following the WordPress localization standards, which is why WPML cannot register them for translation. To resolve this, you need to modify your code to adhere to these standards. Here is how you can update your code:
_e( 'Congratulations! Shipping is on us :', 'my-theme' )
