Plugin inside my theme mixing with my textdomain

@pavelmares Is this the same problem as in this issue?

No, they are probably not. I wrote to second one just to be sure. For this one, it is that I have TWO different text-domains inside my theme because I am loading plugin (ACF) inside my theme.

But in admin the acf string like __( ‘string from ACF’, ‘acf’ ); is appearing as __( ‘string from ACF’, ‘my-theme’ ); instead.

Which I don’t think is correct.

I think it is the same issue:

<?php print __( 'text' ); ?>
<?php print __( 'text', 'twentytwenty' ); ?>
<?php print __( 'text', 'my_theme' ); ?>
<?php print __( 'text', 'acf' ); ?>

if you translate “text” via Polylang, above each function will return the same translation, because Polylang plugin does not support domains in text translations from the admin panel (in my opinion).

I will try some tests on my own, but this was kinda bothering me. I have a way to fixed this issue for our use-cases (instead string like “search” we will use “SEARCH_FIELD_PLACEHOLDER”, which will avoid both of these issues + migrate the plugins out of the theme).

I understand your worries. It surprises me too. Also, I will try to look into this problem again at my free time.
