Hi,

Can you please confirm that the following two tickets are the tickets you mentioned with the same issue?

Also, please tell me where to see the problem on your site.
In other words, where can I see that Astra admin strings are not translated on the frontend?
Please provide a link to a page with this problem and include screenshots.

Thanks,

Could you assign this ticket to the same guy?
And is this possible to keep tickets open for 30 days?

Hopefully he still has our testing sire.
I'm loosing sales on a regular basis because of this shitty glitch.
Trigered one more time after testing the option "adjust theme ID for multilingual".
By someone of your team for another ticket. Probably accessing the theme customizer, as usual.

Hello,

I have reviewed your ticket, if possible please share more information so I can better help.

Is this issue happening on your live site? (I can see it when I visit so I assume it is.)

What are your results if you attempt to resolve it in the steps we had taken before?

Also, we no longer have access to the staging site and the access to the live site is no longer valid.

Is the wpml website still existing ? the one you copied for yourself.

And yes the bug is actual. This time, the bug was trigered with the visit of the theme customizer.

As the original ticket was closed no, it no longer exists.

Please note that in order for us to debug this issue we will need to be able to reproduce the behavior as we were not able to during all our previous efforts.

Are you able to provide us access to an environment where we can reproduce the issue.

1. Verified that Free Shipping from 140 is showing in English in both EN and DE versions.

2. Go to WPML->String Translations -> search for "Free Shipping from 140"

3. Add translation to this string

admin_texts_astra-settings [astra-settings]header-html-1 Free shipping from [free_shipping_threshold id="2"]

4. Check the front end --> it's showing as expected. DE version shows the translation now.

5. Go to English language and edit customizer (100% verified that I am editing the customizer from English and not German)

6. Exit customizer --> all good so far.

Please review.

Hello!
I've deleted all astra strings translations because it's not what I did on the live sites.
From now, I recommand you to translate all the astra strings. Since it's a paid function, let me know when you did it

Processed. Please review this screencast.

There are a few strings that need to be manually set to English directly in the Astra Settings.

Great! I found those last ones, they were still in dutch. I updated them in english. And added them for translation.

After their translation the setup will be the exact same one as for the live store. Excepted for multi domains setup of course.....

I can see the new strings, but the original items are still showing.

I recommend changing their default language to the correct one since it's not English and possibly excluding them from the translation.

As of right now I've translated the rest of the strings.
