WooCommerce PayPal Payments - "Pay via PayPal" Translation Not Working

Waiting for author

Reported for: WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce 5.3.5

Topic Tags: Bug, Compatibility, WCML

Overview of the issue

If you are using the WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin, you will find it is not possible to translate the “Pay via PayPal” button and associated buttons shown on the front end.

Workaround

Note, following updates to the PayPal plugin the advice below has changed.

Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.

We recommend adding the below code in a custom plugin. Just copy the code and save it in a file with a name of your choice and a .php extension, e.g. fix-paypal-button-language.php:

Fix PayPal Button Language

<?php
/*
 * Plugin Name: Language Setting for WooCommerce PayPal Payments
 * Description: Filter the button language to match the current language
 * Author: OTGS
 * Version: 1.0
 */

if ( ! str_contains( wp_get_referer(), "wp-admin" ) ) {

    add_filter( 'option_woocommerce-ppcp-data-settings', function( $value ){
        
        $current_language = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
        $languages = apply_filters( 'wpml_active_languages', null );
        $locale = $languages[ $current_language ]['default_locale'];
        if ( is_array( $value ) && is_string( $locale ) ) {
            $value['button_language'] = $locale;
        }
            
        return $value;
    });
            
}

   • Hi there,
     Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, until the WooCommerce PayPal Payments developers implement a permanent fix, you’ll need to reapply this workaround after each update. You can follow the ticket here.
