Button Text Translation with WPML

Hello @maw-1,

You can edit the plugin, go in plugin->editor and select Book now.

Modify at line 86 $mytext = get_option('rg_book_text'); change $mytext = get_option('rg_book_text'); to $mytext = __('Your Button text', 'your-button-text');

then you can scan the plugin with WPML scanning function and translate the text in any language, here is a tutorial on how to scan plugins https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/theme-localization/

Hi Rian,
thank you I also thought about this, but when you will make an update this solution will be overwritten.
So thats not the perfect solution for me. Do you have a better idea?

Thank you,
Marc

Here is a guide about translating texts in the wp_options table:

Hello @maw-1,

I’ve updated Book Now to support WPML, please update to latest version and test it, tell me if there’s any problem.

I′ve updated your plugin and after this scanned your plugin in WPML string translation for strings but it still says 0 strings to translate…

Hello @maw-1,

try to update to this new version, it should work now.

regards

still 0 strings when i scan :/

what’s your WPML version? i’ve tried 3.8

you should see those strigs ‘admin_texts_rg_book_url rg_book_url’ and ‘admin_texts_rg_book_text rg_book_text’

okay now it works – I′ve also contacted the wpml developers.
They mentioned 2 things:

1) The first one is just a notice, the word ‘right’ should be surrounded by quotes.
This is in book-now.php in line 108 and it should look like this:

if($lor == ‘right’) {

2) The second one is replacing the use of _e() with __() in lines 85 and 86, like this:

$myurl = __(get_option(‘rg_book_url’), ‘your_url_booknow’);
$mytext = __(get_option(‘rg_book_text’), ‘your_text_booknow’);

With those 2 fixes the plugin works fine.

Nice, thank you for the tips,
i’ve updated with the fixes

Regards
