"Postcode/ZIP" is translated to Danish then revert back to English

[reddion]

Hi, I would appreciate it a lot if you could check the checkout page of my website. Just try to buy something then go view the cart.

I’m using Danish for the language, so the field “Postcode/ZIP” should be translated as “Postnummer” or “Postnr.” However only that field stays in English. The weird thing is, when you refresh the page, for a brief moment you can see it translated to “Postnr.” but then when the page is loaded completely, it changes back to “Postcode/ZIP”. Can you tell me why is that??

The language file I modified is “woocommerce-da_DK.po” and I have compiled it to .mo file as well using poedit. Then I put those files in /languages/plugins/. There are no fuzzy translation. I’ll be waiting for your help again. Thank you very very much!!!

Regards,
Fred

Hi,
Please paste this code at functions.php file:-

function sf_text_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	switch ( $translated_text ) {
		case 'Postcode / Zip' :
			$translated_text = __( 'Postnummer', $domain );
			break;
	}
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'sf_text_strings', 20, 3 );

Thanks
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,

Thanks for the code, but I need to say this. The website will use WPML in the future, add Norwegian and Swedish. If I use this code, will it fix this issue in the future when I switch the language? Thanks again.

Hi Mohammad,

I have installed the WPML plugin now and remove your code. The problem is back, can you help me again?

The strange thing is, it’s only for the Danish version of the website. If you switch to Swedish then it’s fine. I have made sure that the translation in the file “woocommerce-da_DK.po” is correct, but it’s still not working. I hope you can help me solve this issue. Thanks!

Hi Mohammad,

Nevermind, I have figured it out by myself. The problem is, the original string in “woocommerce-da_DK.po” is “Postcode / Zip”, while in the Atelier theme, the string of ZIP is all uppercase “Postcode / ZIP”. Therefore the translation will never going to work. I have edited the original string and everything works perfect now. I will mark this thread resolved. Thanks!!

Hi,
Please use this code at functions.php of child theme.

function sf_text_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	if (($translated_text == 'Postcode / ZIP') && (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='sv')) {
		
			$translated_text = __( 'Swedish', $domain ); // please change it
			
	}elseif(($translated_text == 'Postcode / ZIP') && (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='da')){
      
       $translated_text = __( 'Postnummer', $domain );
       }
	return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'sf_text_strings', 20, 3 );

Thanks
Mohammad
