legal_text translation in Checkout page

Hi there,

you may use WPML String Translation to translate these options. Find more info here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/

Cheers

Thank you for answering so quickly!

actually tried that – but you have to generate and save an xml file in the plugin root folder to make it work. And I did not want to add anything in the plugin…

With time running out, I solved it quick and dirty by adding filters to override all text strings I needed with my own (registered in my theme) strings.

Hi there,

the xml file does exist (woocommerce-germanized/wpml-config.xml) and is configured. You may need to search for the actual strings a little (should be prefixed by woocommerce_gzd though).

I guess the quick-and-dirty solution is not very update-safe ??

Cheers

Hello again!

I did find the strings and translated them…. BUT, when I wrote a string in the Backend field (legal_text) – this string would be shown in both languages.
Germanized -> Anzeige -> Rechtlicher Hinweistext (id=”woocommerce_gzd_checkout_legal_text”) – whatever you write in there will be shown in both languages. If you leave it empty you only have a checkbox with no text on the checkout page (also both languages).
I hope we talk about the same strings….

Hi there,

could you explain a little more what you mean with “when I wrote a string in the Backend field (legal_text)”? Do you mean the Germanized settings or do you mean the WPML String Translation settings? You need to choose a string in your main language within the Germanized settings and then translate that string with the help of the WPML String Translation options to your secondary language.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for your patience by the way, I appreciate that very much – and sorry if I sound a bit confused sometimes.

My main language is German (WP settings), the second language I provide the website in is English
In the Germanized settings I wrote a German text
In WPML I searched the domain: admin_texts_woocommerce_gzd_checkout_legal_text and found the string “woocommerce_gzd_checkout_legal_text”
The WPML translation had the german Text I had written in the Germanized settings (I can change that and the translation will change too – so no problem there)

If I go to Checkout German – I get the german translation
If I start another “shopping spree” with a clean, cookie free browser in English – I will also get the german translation on the checkout page.

I hope this helps explaining. Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

don’t worry! I guess something is wrong with your configuration as I tested the scenario and it works just fine. Did you try to translate some other option strings via WPML (for other plugins and/or your theme)? Did that work out correctly? We do not take any further steps other than outputting the string via get_option (which is filtered by WPML) – so the only thing I can recommend you is check your setup and ask the WPML support for help. Maybe your configuration is messed up.

Cheers

Thanks a lot – I will do just that and post here as soon as I find a solution.

Solution! As you suggested I got in contact the WPML Team.

I put the German text in the Germanizer settings.
I had to delete the translated strings from WPML.
Realoaded the text-domains
The main language was now set as German (String translations for these text-domains)
When I translated the strings again – everything worked perfectly

Thanks again for your help and patience.

reloaded – not realoaded ??
