WPML issue

Thanks for reporting, I will look into how to approach this. As you might understand this is not necessarily as easy as just making these fields translation ready because I cannot prepare these translations (after all, they are different for everyone). I might work together with something like Codestyling Localization, but I have to look into that.

Hi Ewout,

I understand. I think the best way is to contact WPML as well, as they are always willing to help out to get plugins compitable with WPML.

Maybe you can also look at how WooCommerce did it? For example, with the payment gateways, with BACS and COD for example, we can add a ‘description’ for the thankyou page and in emails. I use the English language there and translate this into Dutch with WPML without problems, because this is being recoginized by WPML. The technique behind this, I don’t know, but I think I can better say it because that’s maybe a working example.

I can also ask WPML to contact you if you want.

Kind regards,

Willem

@willem: Did you manage to translate all invoice parts into Dutch now with WPML? And if so, how did you do it? I can’t get strings like ‘order totals’ and ‘quantity’ translated to several languages. That is, I can translate it to one language, but not to multiple. Thanks for your reply in advance.

Hi Emielm, this plugin is not WPML ready yet. I emailed the author that I’m willing to pay for a WPML add-on if he release one. The only reason I’m still using it, is because at the moment I do have WPML installed but only have a Dutch version online at the moment. To get this plugin working (so that everything is in Dutch for customers) I had to set the WPML admin language also to Dutch, because else I also had parts I was not able to translate.

Hi Willem,
Actually I managed to get it working with multiple languages now. You just have to make sure you translate the strings with WPML (and even check the already translated ones). The invoice sent to customers will then be in the language they had selected during checkout.
Hope you will be able to get it working too.
Kind regards,
Emiel

Hi all,

I have a site in German (site language) and English (admin language and selection on front end). All strings are showing as translated within wpml but the invoice doesn’t translate. Regardless of which language the order is placed in, the invoice is always in English (admin language). Any thoughts?

Hello Snarfe,
WPML is only fully supported via the Professional extension. The professional extension adds extra checks to make sure the correct language is always used.

Hope that helps!

Ewout
