    Dear all,

    sorry for this type of question but i have problem with translation woocommerce for some sentence in my language (Slovakia). Due to law in our country is needed to change text for one field. I used loco for translation fields what works perfect but my main problem is that after some time my translation is override somehow (i didn’t do any updaet update theme i don’t do anything just leave my whole web untouched) to original slovak translation, where my translated string are overriden. I already used your help page with translation:

    // Code to be placed in functions.php of your theme or a custom plugin file.
    add_filter( ‘load_textdomain_mofile’, ‘load_custom_plugin_translation_file’, 10, 2 );

    /*
    * Replace ‘textdomain’ with your plugin’s textdomain. e.g. ‘woocommerce’.
    * File to be named, for example, yourtranslationfile-en_GB.mo
    * File to be placed, for example, wp-content/lanaguages/textdomain/yourtranslationfile-en_GB.mo
    */
    function load_custom_plugin_translation_file( $mofile, $domain ) {
    if ( ‘textdomain’ === $domain ) {
    $mofile = WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/textdomain/yourtranslationfile-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’;
    }
    return $mofile;
    }

    but this unfortunatelly didn’t worked.

    I tried to change permission of translated file to only read but was overrided again due to woocommerce was installed under server permission.

    I really don’t know where problem could be and i really appreciate your helps or advice.

    Many thanks

    The code above has not been modified – did you change it to load a custom file or use what you pasted (which won’t work)?

    Hi Mike,

    i replaced if ( ‘textdomain’ === $domain ) {
    to if ( ‘woocommerce’ === $domain ) {
    and $mofile = WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/textdomain/yourtranslationfile-‘
    to $mofile = WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/wp-content/languages/SK.po’ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’;

    my translated language was saved in file SK.po and this will not working, translation was original in english.

    Many thanks

    You need a mo file, not the po file. Also the name in your snippet was wrong. It is looking for :

    SK.poSK.mo

    in your case which is wrong ??

    I changed it to:
    /*
    * Replace ‘textdomain’ with your plugin’s textdomain. e.g. ‘woocommerce’.
    * File to be named, for example, yourtranslationfile-en_GB.mo
    * File to be placed, for example, wp-content/lanaguages/textdomain/yourtranslationfile-en_GB.mo
    */
    function load_custom_plugin_translation_file( $mofile, $domain ) {
    if ( ‘woocommerce’ === $domain ) {
    $mofile = WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/wp-content/languages/sk_SK’ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’;
    }
    return $mofile;
    }

    but still english translation.

    in wp-content/languages/ i have file sk_SK.mo and sk_SK.po

    rename it to wc-sk_SK.mo, and change the sk_SK part in your snippet to wc-

    ouch i see the script that locale are dynamically selected.
    i changed my code to: $mofile = WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/wp-content/languages/wc-‘ . get_locale() . ‘.mo’;

    file on ftp renamed to wc-sk_SK.mo but still same english language on page ?? i really don’t understand. if i change url for static ‘/wp-content/languages/wc-sk_SK.mo’; still english language was used

    what does echo get_locale(); give you? I wonder if the code is wrong.

    Hello,

    i put your code into function.php and on the page is locale: sk_SK so it should be correct.

    Plugin Contributor Mike Jolley (a11n)

    (@mikejolley)

    Ok, so which strings are missing, or are not strings translated? What about the backend, is that translated?

    Thread Starter etmanko

    (@etmanko)

    There is not missing string. In our country i need to change translation becouse some string are translatted incorrectly.
    for example backordered is translated as returned in my language in its tricky in checkout. In total i founded that 4 strings are not correcnt and not aligned with our law, therefore i did translation using Loco and save it. This works some hours but from unexpected reason was my translated file overriden with original woocommerce file translation where i have again incorrect translated strings.

    I don’t know why filter not working but this make me sad as i did translation as last step in woocommerce configuration and as i am very beginer it take for me long time.

    Any help how setup woocommerce to not override translated translation with original translation?

    Plugin Contributor Mike Jolley (a11n)

    (@mikejolley)

    Just the ‘load_custom_plugin_translation_file’ snippet method above which does work my end. It must be to do with the naming of the files – I cannot see what else it could be.

    If there are not many strings to correct, how about using ‘say what’ instead?

    Sorry, what is ‘say what’?

    Mike,

    super this is sufficient for me. I hope translation will not be overriden again. I translated 5 strings with ‘say what’

    Many thanks for your time and support.

    Etmanko,
    please, what you write in the “Text domain”?
    I also solve unwanted changes in Slovak translation module woocommerce.
    Thanks.
