Allow customizing “Always active” option

Hi @lipskas,

The “Always active” text is included in the plugin’s localization files (.po/.mo) and is therefore translated when you are using Complianz in another supported language.

If you wish to adjust the translation of “Always active” for the language that you’re using, you can indeed use a language file editing plugin such as Loco Translate for this.

Kind regards, Jarno

Thanks for the reply. However, it doesn’t answer the main question – why Complianz allows customizing every single piece of text in cookie banner except the most important one?

I believe that installing a new plugin just to customize a single option in Complianz is overkill.

Hi @lipskas,

I will check whether we could add a field to customize this text as well, in a future version of the plugin.

But just to circle back on what you mentioned in the original post, “not fully compatible with non-English websites”: this text will of course still be translated when you’re using a different language; it’s just not a customizable field at the moment.

Kind regards, Jarno

Thanks. Maybe I didn’t explain myself very clearly in the 1st post, sorry about that.

I realize the plugin supports translations, but as far I know, plugin only uses non-English translations if WP is set to use non-English language? Which brings a problem too; since many themes/plugins don’t have translations to X language (or translations are not full), many webmasters (including myself) prefer using English for backend, even if website is targeted at users from country X (especially if website has no login/private sections). This way, webmasters only need to customize frontend text (displayed to visitors) and can avoid horrible mix of translations in WP admin dashboard (which happens when plugin A is translated, plugin B is not, plugin C is translated in half, etc).

Since other plugin users raised the same question in the past (about customizing “Always active” text without using translator plugins and/or local translation files), I believe it’s important many more webmasters.

Once again, thank you for your consideration about making text customizable in future releases. Hope that happens soon. If it requires purchasing premium subscription, I’ll be happy to.

Hi @lipskas,

Complianz will indeed use the Site Language as configured under Settings -> General in WordPress.

But you can still set the User Language of a particular account in WordPress to any other language, which would result in the WordPress back-end being displayed in that language, while the front-end still uses the Site Language.

If multiple language versions of the Legal Documents and the Cookie Banner are required, you can use a multi-language plugin such as?PolyLang (Free)?or?WPML?to accomplish this.

You may find our configuration articles describing how to translate your Legal Documents and Cookie Banner using both of these plugins attached below:
