Sure, I understand, I will hopefully solve this issue once we will have the budget to hire a programmer. Thank you for your effort and time, I appreciate it.

Hi there,

Thank you for your time and response. You know, it’s pretty simple. Your plugin worked well before the update, now it does not. I understand, you are trying to help me and I really appreciate your patience, but this is going nowhere (and I have no capacity to investigate this any further than I did so far), so I will rather try a different translation plugin that will work with my current settings. I wouldn’t bother you if I would know that fault is somewhere else, but this was really obvious – before update = working, after update = not working. So the mistake must be somewhere out there within the new version of Loco. I apologize for taking your time and thank you for all your efforts.

P.S.: Seems rather strange that so far nobody have reported this issue.. Could there possibly be a clash with the theme and it’s funcionality somehow? Seems weird though, don’t know why anything from the theme, stripped of all plugins, should in any way affect saving the new translations.

Oh wonderful, so I found out that after the expiration of a support license, they don’t support you anymore unless you pay them. So I guess this is dead end again. I’ve been trying to find the right string in the theme core php files but it seems like these damn placeholders are nowhere to be found. I was able to translate them through Chrome inspect element funcionality, when I simply overwrite the placeholder text in the code, but where is the actual information within the theme files I have no idea.. :-/

Thank you, I will contact them tommorrow and try to press a solution out of them.

I apologize if I am not being clear enough. I can provide you with credentials to our backend if that would help.

The problem with the new translations not being saved began with the new update of Loco translate. Before it worked fine and as I wrote above, after disabling all plugins, it still doesn’t work, so it must be internal problem of Loco translate plugin. Not sure how can I describe the steps in any better way. I have the latest version of WordPress, I have latest version of Loco translate and whatever translation I open up and change it, I simply cannot save it. I click on “Save” button and there is the processing animation of the button but nothing happens, no matter how long I wait. That’s the whole thing.

I am using W3 Total Cache, but since disabling it doesn’t change the problem, I suppose it must be within Loco translate itself.

We can drop the new language bug for now, as I’ve mentioned, I’ve figured out a way around it and it’s not so critical to the function of our website and the plugin itself.

Thank you very much for your time!

Yes, this is the theme I am using. So I suppose I need to contact their support again? They didn’t help me back then though. ?? Supposedly couldn’t do anything with it.

Ok, should I send link to a language file? Theme .po?

Ok, so I’ve disabled all the plugins again and endless saving bug still persists as does the inability of creating new language file.

More of an issue for me is the first bug – I was able to live with the second one so far, but not being able to save translations is quite critical. ??

Whatever language file I open in Loco translate, do any edit and click on “Save”, the saving button is processing but it never finishes the work. I don’t want to take your time for the second issue, so I will not go into details on that one (but short version is that when you click on “New language” and the settings page opens up, you select your new language file, select directory for it and click on “Begin translating”, there is no activity, the button doesn’t activate anything).

Interesting. I thought it’s uncommon because nobody has been able to help me and I haven’t found any useful information on the net.

I’ve tried deactivating all plugins completely and the problem persisted. So is it within the theme then? Is there a way to do anything about it?

Can you please tell me how do I roll back to the older version?

Nothing happens means literally, when I click on the button “Start translating”, nothing is happening. Nothing loads up, no error shows up. It’s like if the button doesn’t have any function at all. This issue has been there for months really. I figured out a way around, but it’s a bit annoying. I am not connecting via FTP, files are writable dirrectly. I remember that I was able to create a copy of another language file, such as English an derive my own language from it, this way it worked. But creating a completely new language from scratch never worked. I am also getting a lot of “Unable to load loco-config.” errors, for example if I try to acces user settings. This kind of error sometimes showed during configuration of new language.

But it is very weird since everything else is working well on the page and everything was translated correctly, except this very thing.

Thank you for quick reply! I wasn’t able to find out, but support of the Theme I am using is claiming it is not their theme that displays the field. I am really confused, because everything is translated, both in the core and in theme and still, the fields are shown in english. Seems like a dead end, but how could it be?

My page is https://www.avifauna.cz. If you click on any article and scroll down, you can see the fields are in english. I found the correct strings in Loco translate and made a translation but it hasn’t worked. Nor does it work when I do it manually through FTP on other language files. It seems like there is something higher that controls this part and is blocking the translation maybe?

It works indeed, thank you!!

I will try that, thanks!
