Symptoms:
I do find some strings with those names but they are either not the right strings OR the strings just don't display in their translated forms. Instead, I got: No translation.
Questions:
Why can't I find the strings?
Why are the strings not displaying in their translated forms?
Welcome to the WPML support forum. Before passing this thread to my colleague, I would like to share some suggestions and possible solutions for the issues you mentioned.
Hey Bigul ! Thanks for the instructions. When activating the ''look for strings while pages are rendered'', I am able to see that the strings are successfully translated, indeed.
As soon as I disable it, though, the translations do not work anymore.
I forgot to specify, the only thing I did was enable that feature and the translation worked (fields appear translated). That means the strings are already there and I knew that already because I manually added the translation to the strings.
But when I turn off the feature, the translations of those strings simply do not work anymore.
I did try, as mentionned in the instructions, to ''... turn off the feature and refresh the String Translation page... to see the strings available for translation in the table.''
Unfortunately, there are no new strings in the table, but that isn't surprising because the strings were already existing and were translated. Proof of that is when I activated the feature I could see my translations appear on the page in question.
I hope you're doing well. I've taken over this ticket and will be happy to assist you further in this matter.
Please note that for most plugins, the translations for static strings are loaded directly from the language files provided by the plugin. For The Events Calendar plugin, the French translation is included in the plugin's translation files. However, due to recent changes in how WordPress core handles text domain loading, the translations were not loading correctly, unless the "Look for strings" feature is enabled in String Translation.
To resolve your issue, you'll need to make a few minor adjustments to The Events Calendar plugin's code so that the text domain can load correctly. Please refer to the Errata below for detailed information.
These adjustments should resolve the issue. For your information, we have already notified the author of The Events Calendar plugin and proposed this solution. We hope that a permanent fix for this issue will be included in a future version of The Events Calendar plugin.
Please try and let me know how it goes. I'll be happy to help if you need further assistance in this matter.
Hi There!
I hope you're doing well! Sorry for the delay in responding due to the weekend.
Thank you for the update. Currently, we are not aware of any similar issues with the Event Tickets plugin, so we need to gather more details to better understand the problem before suggesting a solution.
To ensure clarity and organization, we follow the guideline of addressing one issue per ticket. Since the initial issue reported in this ticket has been resolved, and the issue with Event Tickets could be unrelated, I kindly request you to create a new ticket specifically for the Event Tickets issue mentioned in your last message, including as much as information you can. We’ll be happy to assist you further with that matter.
In the meantime, if you need any additional help with the Events Calendar plugin issue originally reported in this ticket, feel free to let me know—I’ll be glad to assist. Otherwise, please consider marking this thread as resolved.
