WooCommerce – bad translation of checkout page

    Hey

    I have been trying to fix this issue all day yesterday, but couldn’t solve it.

    __ you see, the Barberry Extension webshop theme is using WooCommerce, but has an incorrect translation when you go to account. (The www.ads-software.com Translation tools do not have a search bar and I simply cannot go through more than 708 pages manually…) And as my company is called __ Rocket Copywriting // I do not want such wrong language on my website.

    The issue:

    A. English (US/UK/…) – “/” (I do not know what the English translation is as there is none visible.)

    B. Dutch (BE/NL) – “Vanaf je account dashboard kun je recente bestellingen bekijken, verzend- en factuuradressen beheren en wachtwoord en account details bewerken”

    Tips about how to write in Dutch: https://taaladvies.net/homepage-aanvraag-of-homepageaanvraag/

    As you can clearly see from the link you are able to write compounds in Dutch, and even though ‘verzend- en factuuradressen’ has been written that way, ‘account dashboard’ [correction: account(-)dashboard*] and ‘wachtwoord en account details’ [correction: wachtwoord- en accountdetails] have not.

    *the hypen inbetween the small brackets is optional; if you leave it there you focus on the first word (account), if you take it away and write it as one word you stress the meaning of the compounded combination.

    //

    Again, these inconsistent translations are hurting my copywriting and journalism (!!!) website, so please 1) tell me how to fix it; or 2) fix it yourself.

  • Hi,
    It seems like you’re facing translation-related issues with the Barberry Extension webshop theme in WooCommerce. To address this, you can follow these steps:

    1. Locate the Translation File:
      Find the translation files for the theme. They are typically located in the languages folder of the theme. You might see files like theme-name-en_US.po and theme-name-en_US.mo for English (US), and similar files for other languages.
    2. Edit the Translation File:
      You can use a tool like Poedit to open the .po translation file for the language you want to modify. In your case, it seems to be Dutch (BE/NL).
    3. Search for the Incorrect Translation:
      Use the search functionality in Poedit to search for the incorrect translation you want to fix. In this case, search for “Vanaf je account dashboard kun je recente bestellingen bekijken” or any other phrase you want to modify.
    4. Modify the Translation:
      Once you find the incorrect translation, you can edit it to correct the compound words or any other issues. Follow the Dutch language tips you provided to ensure the correct compound usage.
    5. Save and Compile:
      After making the necessary changes, save the .po file. Poedit will generate a corresponding .mo file. Make sure both files are saved in the languages folder.
    6. Upload the Updated Files:
      Upload the updated .po and .mo files to the languages folder of your theme on your WordPress site. This should replace the incorrect translations with your corrected versions.
    7. Clear Cache:
      If your site uses caching or a performance optimization plugin, clear the cache to ensure the updated translations are reflected on the front end.

    After completing these steps, your theme’s translations should display the corrected compound words and more accurate phrasing in Dutch (BE/NL) as you’ve described.

    Remember to always back up your theme files before making changes, and test the changes in a controlled environment (like a staging site) if possible, before applying them to your live site.
