Hello,

as said in the original ticket I have opened a new one for this case.

It seems the translation is showing in front only when the "Look for string while page is rendered" option from the bottom of the WPML String translation page is enabled.

That should not be the case, and probably something is causing the translation to be saved/loaded correctly.

In order to check further I would need to check in minimal, which would mean disabling all other plugins and switching themes.

Is it possible for you to provide a staging site for us to check? If not let me know and I will provide a different approach.

Thanks,
Drazen

Hello,

great, thanks. Let me know when ready.

Yes, now that you mention it could be related, as WPML String translation needs to be able to save these translations and load from the wp-content folder. Which seems to not happen for this last string.

If you can please check if the related folders and subfolders translations do not have the same issue or restricted writing/reading capabilities?

Regards,
Drazen

Hello,

thanks, I checked and in the end managed to work it correctly.

These are the steps I did, please try them on production also:

- Delete current related Italian string from WPML string translation > text domain event-tickets-wpml
- In your Italian reoccurring event add Ticket texts in the English language
- Visit the front end
- Go to WPML String translation and add Italian translation.

Seems to work and shows fine in the frontend in that order.

Please check and let me know.

Regards,
Drazen

Hello,

thanks for your patience.

Can you please add the next code instead the old one I suggested, then add your tickets text, visit frontend, and translate? It should work fine.

Steps:

- Open this .../wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/forms/bookingform/tickets-list.php

Look for line 33

Before this line:

- 

<td class="em-bookings-ticket-table-type"><?php echo wp_kses_data($EM_Ticket->ticket_name); ?><?php if(!empty($EM_Ticket->ticket_description)) :?><br><span class="ticket-desc"><?php echo wp_kses($EM_Ticket->ticket_description,$allowedposttags); ?></span><?php endif; ?></td>

Add this code:

- 

<?php
							$max_length = 50;
							$name = 'Event tickets - ' . $EM_Ticket->ticket_description;
							if (strlen($name) > $max_length) {
								$name = substr($name, 0, $max_length);
							}
							do_action('wpml_register_single_string', 'event-tickets-wpml', 'Event tickets - ' . $EM_Ticket->ticket_name, $EM_Ticket->ticket_name);
							$EM_Ticket->ticket_name = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $EM_Ticket->ticket_name, 'event-tickets-wpml', 'Event tickets - ' . $EM_Ticket->ticket_name);
							do_action('wpml_register_single_string', 'event-tickets-wpml', $name, $EM_Ticket->ticket_description);
							$EM_Ticket->ticket_description = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $EM_Ticket->ticket_description, 'event-tickets-wpml', $name);
							?>

- Visit an event in front-end.
- Translate the strings under event-tickets-wpml domain.

Kind regards,
Drazen
