Correcting the original strings

    Sometimes the original string appears in a different language than it should be, but in the translation screen it is not possible to edit these strings, because the “From {language}” field is always disabled. I tried to find these strings in the database and change them, but after countless attempts I couldn’t fix them. No matter where I changed it, the changes don’t reflect on the site and I also can’t change it through Elementor or the plugin translation by Loco Translate. So, would it be possible to somehow enable this field and correct these strings through the translation screen?

  • Hey there,

    Unfortunately this is not possible with our product.

    TranslatePress requires all the content of the website to be written in the default language that you have chosen.

    We do not make any changes whatsoever to the default version of a website. TP only detects your strings so you can translate them later in the Translation Editor.

    This is currently a recurring issue with some of our clients so I will be making a feature request for this, however I can’t give you an exact ETA because there are other features that require more attention.

    Regards,

    Hi! I think this is a minor issue and TranslatePress could solve it by displaying a warning when the site owner tries to change an original string. My site’s default language is Portuguese and TranslatePress is saying exactly that in the interface, but these specific messages are in English, not Portuguese. I have some messages like these that I can’t change and it’s pulling my hair out. I have no idea why these messages are in English while all the others are not.
