How to translate the PHP code in "WPCode Lite"Plugin

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needed help with translating strings in PHP code that were not properly wrapped for translation.
Solution:
First, we guided the client to wrap all texts in gettext calls as per our documentation. Specifically, we advised checking step number 2.

Next, we replaced the client's original PHP code:

<p class="you_save_text_woocommerce"></p><p style="font-size:small;color:#b16315">Te Ahorras: <b> <?php echo wp_kses_post( wc_price( $amount_saved ) ) ; ?></b></p>

with:

<p class="you_save_text_woocommerce" style="font-size:small;color:#b16315"><?php _e( 'Te Ahorras:', 'wpml-fix' ); ?> <b><?php echo wp_kses_post( wc_price( $amount_saved ) ); ?></b></p>

After modifying the code, we instructed the client to use the String Translation feature in WPML to translate the modified string. The steps included enabling the "Look for strings while pages are rendered" option, visiting the front end to render the string, and then searching for the string in the String Translation interface.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket.

I'll be glad to help you today. You need to wrap the test in the GetText function. After that, you can translate the string using the string translation. Kindly check this guide to know more about translating hard-coded strings. Best regards, Osama

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why 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
