Thanks for everything, Tim, I really appreciate your time!

Take care!

Thank you so much! That’s exactly what I was looking for. Take care, Karol!

Hey again,

Yes, I can reproduce the this even on TT4. This string is coming from WooCommerce, but I can’t find it. Yes, that’s correct that there’s no “add billing address” string, but still it’s weird that this “add” can’t be translated.

Thank you in advance for further investigating this for us.

Any update here, please?

Hey again,

I am afraid this is not the issue – that the text is not translated. The issue is I can’t find the string. Can you please tell me where exactly I can find that string so I can translate it on my end?

Hey again,

Sorry – it’s Български.

I can confirm that the issue is related to your translation package.

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Create a fresh installation and change the website language to Bulgarian;
2. Install WooCommerce and download the Bulgarian translation package;
3. Go to this page and check if that string is fully translated: domain.com/moyat-profil/edit-address/
   

Here is a screenshot of a fresh installation with the latest WooCommerce version

So the bottom line is:

When I install WooCommerce and change the language to Bulgarian, I automatically have the Bulgarian package installed. I leave it as it is, as you recommended, as they exclude script translations.

I create another translation through the “New language” option and place it into the custom folder and start translating all strings according to my needs.

If that’s correct, can I use my custom .po file and upload it on another WooCommerce website? I mean: create another translation, place it into the custom folder, replace the .po file that I have already translated and I’m good to go?

Your time is highly appreciate, Tim, really!

The system directory is languages/plugins/woocommerce-bg_BG.po so I’m not sure if you are referring to that one? Is it safe to use that file from that directory?

Meanwhile, I have created a fresh installation and still have 2 language packages for one language. I can confirm that the custom folder one overwrites the system one. I guess I have to wait for an update so I can try to reproduce the issue again and report it back to you? I mean there’s no manual option to execute such an update?

Thanks, Tim, but I already have done that and I still have 2 Bulgarian packages – in the custom folder and in the system folder. If I delete the system folder one, after a few hours, it appears again and overwrites my file.

So can I use the Woo .po filе, кeep it in their system safe folder, edit and translate the strings with the assurance that that everything will be fine after the next plug-in/translation update?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Yes, I’m using the latest Woo version and the latest translation package provided by WooCommerce. I’m not able to translate one string though. Actually, the string is almost translated as you can see in the screenshot below. Can you please help me to translate that string?

“Add billing address” is the string that I’m trying to translate from this page -> my-account/edit-address/ Please check the screenshot attached.

Also, I have one more question. I have 2 po files for my language – Bulgarian. My question is: Can I leave the original po file provided by WooCommerce, edit and translate the strings and make sure that it will not be overwritten after the next plugin/translation update?

Please check the screenshot attached:

It’s not related to the Loco Translate plug-in because I’m using your po/pot files and that string looks weird – it has 2 languages into it.

Tim, my question is: shall I create a new custom file for my translations or I can use the original WooCommerce file, edit and translate the original file and place it in their safe directory? In this case, I guess I will not have 2 languages anymore.

Please let me know.

Tim, here’s your own article about this issue.

https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/faqs/translate-woocommerce

As you can see, there is an issue with translating WooCommerce with your plugin. So I’m asking you directly – what is the best way to translate WooCommerce with your plug-in? Shall I load your XML config? Can I move the po file into their safe system folder and translate that file without creating a custom one in the custom folder provided by your plug-in? What is the best way to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Tim, I have delete my po file and left the original one and I will use it in the custom folder and I will change the strings according to that file.

The point that you don’t understand is that I have 2 Bulgarian languages for Woo. For Elementor, e.g., I have 1 Bulgarian language. I hope you will understand now.

You can close the thread for now.

Tim, that’s very weird, because I can see only WooCommerce has 2 languages.

Elementor, e.g., has only one language available.

Am I missing something?
