Translation works perfect except one string

[daniel25k]

HI

I translated the Theme as many themes before… everything works fine… on the single product page one of the accordian names is “description” and i changed it to the german word “Beschreibung” so far so good.

My client want to use anothe term here and want to call it “Mehr Info zu diesem Produkt” so when i tried to change it again nothing happens. Everey ohter translation works. So i tried to change several other strings. nothing changed. ALthough the po file shows the translations correct, the frontend dont.

I already tried to update the translations in tools in the woocommerce backend. That worked in a similiar case before.

Any ideas? It seems there is an udate issue with the catalogue. The update button in poedit is grey and not clickable … i attached an screenshot which part should be translated again.

thx

Hi,

Did you generate the .mo file and upload it to the server after changing in the Poedit?

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Guess you are translating inside the following .po file?

ah no thats the woocommerce-de.po but i tried it once… i translate the file from the theme which is located in the theme folder… should i translate the woocommerce po file?

i think i tried this too… cant remember exactly

[Rui Guerreiro – SUPPORT]

Yes, give it a try.

changed it and uploaded it back again… didtn work… nothing changed in the frontend (cache cleared)

Try also to deactivate the cache plugin. Search in all .po files for the word “Beschreibung” it got to be somewhere.

as i wrote before i did clear the cache. i checked all po files… the only po files where the mentioned transaltion is avvailable is the theme po file and the woocommerce po file…

The problem is not the missing translation the problem is that it looks like the po file wont update in the frontend. any more ideas? i also tired the code localization plugin but its not working either.

are ther other programs or editors like poedit?

Hi,

Poedit it’s just fine, this is not a problem of the poedit.
Try to disable all plugins except Woocommerce, also check the file permissions of the translation files.

Can also try to active the default Twenty Fourteen theme to see what is displayed? Just to discard any problem from our theme.

[daniel25k]

Ok i disabled all plugins… nothing changed. I activated twenty fourteen and the tanslation is still “beschreibung” … so its not an issue of your theme… but it makes really no sense…

i translated every f**** po file in all folders… i gave up

[daniel25k]

is there a way to hardcode it?

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

function sf_text_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
switch ( $translated_text ) {
case 'Description' :
$translated_text = __( 'Mehr Info zu diesem Produkt', 'woocommerce' );
break;
}
return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'sf_text_strings', 20, 3 );

Thanks
Mohammad
