Language/Translation issues, untranslated strings

Hi Rune,

Every WordPress plugin uses its own strings and we cannot know whether the same strings are being used by other plugins or not. Also, if we use other text domains within our plugin, these strings wouldn’t be translatable for ATUM (a thing that, depending on the context, could need a different translation than the original one).
Additionally, this 3rd party translatable strings could change or get removed in the future and we would lose the translation.
So it isn’t a good practice to do so.

If you want to help to translate ATUM to your language, you would be very welcomed ?? :

Well, ATUM is an extension for WooCommerce, and not every WP plugin. ??

And you are actually overriding the strings and functions of WooCommerce, for a reason I don’t see. Like when adding a product to the cart, you override the ‘%s has been added to your cart.’ and ‘View cart’ – for no obvious good reason.

I don’t see why I should do all that work translating a commercial plugin fully, without anything in exchange, as the only one earning on it would be you. ??

Best regards,
Rune

There is no distinction between a WooCommerce extension and a WordPress plugin. Just that ATUM requires WooCommerce to work.

FYI, ATUM is not a commercial plugin. Only the ATUM premium add-ons are commercial.
All the plugins listed in the WordPress repository are 100% open source. So anyone from the WordPress community can participate in improving ATUM.

Of course, you don’t have to help to translate ATUM if you don’t want to. I just wanted to let you know about that possibility…

If you want to translate only some ATUM strings for your specific case, you can use the Loco Translate plugin.

Anyway, we are going to investigate why that string you mentioned is being overridden by ATUM. Thanks for letting us know about it.
If it isn’t necessary to be overridden we’ll fix it asap ??

Hi again Rune,

After looking at this quickly, I’ve checked that this message is being overridden only if the “Decimals in stock quantity” feature is enabled from ATUM settings.
That’s because we need to alter this message if a new item is added to the cart with decimals.

So you can disable the decimals or just translate the string as stated in my last message.

Best Regards,
Salva.

Haven’t seen anyone being able to use ATUM fully without any premiums yet, so I consider it to be quite commercial, even if it’s made so that it will pass the listing requirements. And indeed we’re free to translate or not, but plugin authors would probably get more translations and paying users if they offered the translators anything for the huge work it is. But enough about that. ??

Excellent, thanks. ??
