Hi i really can't locate the correct string, i tried the inspection tool to see if it would give me more hints where to locate it (See image).

Note when i go to the checkout page itself the design is inserted with a short code, maybe you know the location of that string for short codes in WooCommerce? (see image 2)

Hi,

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for the access details. Could you please update the "CartFlows Pro" plugin to the latest version? I checked the issue and found that when deactivating CartFlow plugins, the checkout is translated correctly.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi yes because i use the cartflowsplugin to replace the global checkout, Kadence theme can't much modify in the way it looks so i used the cartflows check out.

When deactivating, it will use the default checkout and that version is indeed correctly translated.

Just find it strange that within the cartflows checkout plugin everything is translated except in the order summary part when subtotal and total are shown as subtottaal and tottaal.

Hi,

Exactly, that is only the untranslated section. Also, you use CartFlow Pro version 1.11.15, while the current version is 2.0.1, so please update it and check the issue.

Best regards,
Osama

When I submitted the ticket it was the latest version, now after many updates of WPML and cart flows the issues still persist.

Lastly, I see also the part of terms and conditions in checkout is also in Dutch.

When I go to the checkout page, I can only see the short code (see screenshot)
If I go to the cartflowpage it can't be translated (see screenshot)

Hi,

Thanks for your update. Please check if the checkout works correctly. (hidden link)

I changed the language URL format in WPML-> Languages to "Different languages in directories" and created a new language folder in the wp-content folder.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi Osama,

In English, it seems perfect like this.

Only thing is when I tried to select Dutch to verify if everything is correct over there, it seems that a lot of it stays now in English. (Strangely enough, except for subtotaal)

Not sure why this is.

Again, I appreciate your time and effort into this.

Hi,

Please go to WPML-> String Translation, search for the strings, and translate them.

For example, the "Customer Information" string. (hidden link)

Ok doing this right now, just keeping the ticket open.

I think i might have found it, but a bit swarmed with work during the holiday season.
