[JETPACK] Greeting Text doesn't translate anymore

Hi!

There should be a file wpml-config.xml at the root directory of Jetpack. I believe that it should indicate to Polylang what are the options to translate.

Here is what the file contains:
Is it the “sharing_label” that I need to create a “pll_register_string()” for?

<wpml-config>
	<admin-texts>
		<key name="sharing-options">
			<key name="global">
				<key name="sharing_label" />
			</key>
		</key>
		<key name="highlander_comment_form_prompt" />
	</admin-texts>
</wpml-config>

I did not look into details. This file means that you should have two strings in the Jetpack group in the strings translation list table.
If you don’t have them, check that the option in Jetpack is not left empty (empty options are not displayed in the strings translation list table).

Ok thanks – so, I here is what I did:

pll_register_string('jetpack','highlander_comment_form_prompt');

And now, the translation reverted back – I suspect though that this has nothing to do with that, because in the strings translation list table, I don’t see the translation I made
“Leave a comment”/ “Laisser un commentaire”

Chouby, is it possible to list all entries Polylang has for the translations? Because these don’t appear in the table, yet exist – perhaps I could do some cleanup.

Thanks for your time.

I don’t believe that you are correctly using the pll_register_string() function. It would rather be something like:

pll_register_string('highlander_comment_form_prompt', "Leave a comment", 'jetpack');

This is what Polylang should do based on the wpml-config.xml entry.

That’s strange that it used to work and does not anymore. Could it be possible that Jetpack move the option and did not update the wpml-config.xml accordingly?

is it possible to list all entries Polylang has for the translations?

Not easily. The strings are serialized in a custom post.

perhaps I could do some cleanup

You can clean old entries (no more used) by checking the option “clean strings translation database” below the strings translation table.

Hey Chouby,
ok I think I got it – Jetpack contains language files – I don’t know why they weren’t appearing, but now, switching languages automatically picks the right .mo file

All good! ??
thanks for your help
