Problem: The client added custom code to the functions.php file in their child theme to display stock status in a WooCommerce product dropdown but was unable to translate the 'In Stock' and 'Out of Stock' text.
Solution: 1. We advised the client to wrap the hardcoded strings with the gettext function
__()
to make them translatable. Specifically, replace:
return $stock == 1 ? ' - (In Stock)' : ' - (Out of Stock)';
2. We instructed the client to scan the theme for strings from the WPML > Theme and plugins localization page. 3. We directed the client to go to WPML > String Translation, search for the 'In Stock' and 'Out of Stock' strings, and add the translations.
