Can’t change the checkout form language

You can use a plugin like Loco Translate to target the string and translate it directly: https://en-ca.www.ads-software.com/plugins/loco-translate/

Alternatively, to translate the plugin files, see: https://translate.www.ads-software.com/projects/wp-plugins/woocommerce-gateway-stripe

For information on translating the plugin files, please refer to https://make.www.ads-software.com/polyglots/handbook/tools/glotpress-translate-wordpress-org/

Sir, all these suggestions are extremely hard to implement for the average user like myself. Is there another way to do this, like using a simple PHP filter as suggested on your plugin page?

Sorry for the delay @ceyhunyildiz – the doc you’re referencing, here, applies only to the placeholders of the Stripe checkout form: https://d.pr/i/oAWCYF

I’ve used that filter and verified that those placeholders are indeed translated when using the snippet in the doc above. If you’re wanting to translate more than just the placeholders, you would need to follow the translation instructions I previously posted.

Hi again @ceyhunyildiz – Just wanted to also note that tr is not an available locale, per the doc:

By default Stripe detects the locale of the browser and use that as the default. The available locales are ar, da, de, en, es, fi, fr, he, it, ja, lt, lv, ms, nb, nl, pl, pt, ru, sv, zh (see the Stripe documentation for more details).

Hi Joey,

tr locale WAS written as an available locale when I wrote this support request but it is now deleted. So that means it is no longer an available locale.

Hi @ceyhunyildiz

I’ve looked through the edit history of this page for the past 9 months and tr hasn’t appeared there.

I’m unsure why this would have shown as these locales are taking from Stripe.com directly and tr isn’t a supported locale for the Elements, which is what forms the payment method fields – https://stripe.com/docs/js/appendix/supported_locales

Thanks,

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
