    I wanted to make my website bilingual. I can translate everything but the abbreviations in the Vikbooking Search Form. Is there a way to translate these inside of Vikbooking settings? I could not find these symbols (SU, MO, TU, …) in the language settings or in the .po files.

    Here is what I mean: https://imgur.com/s8Hqg5I

    Hi,

    Thanks for your message. We see from your screen shot that you are not using a language plugin based on PO/MO files, you’re rather using a plugin that performs live translations.

    The thing is that the 2-char version of the week-days is not included in the official PO/MO files of VikBooking. You are going to find just the 3-char version of the days of the week, like Sun, Mon, Tue etc.. In order to render the jQuery UI datepicker calendars, we get a portion of the 3-char strings by using a sub-string and by reading the first two multi-byte characters to support any kind of language. This is why your plugin is unable to translate those days of the week. In short, “Su” is not an existing PO/MO language definition, unlike the 3-char version “Sun”.

    You should try to configure some exceptions in your multi-language plugin to manually translate the 2-char versions of the week days. This is the only case where a sub-string is used rather than the full translation string.

    We hope this helps!
