Translate label with WPML

Hi @gerardciclick,

Unfortunately, this plugin isn’t compatible with WPML yet.

If you can wait, I will look for a solution soon. Or you can use Polylang instead of WPML which should be compatible.

Regards,

Charlie

Hi @charlieetienne ,

Thank you very much. This time we will make a custom change to allow text translation, and we appreciate if in the future it can be changed from WPML.

Thanks for your quick response!

Hi Gerard,

Could you help me to make this available to everyone?

Follow these steps:

1. go to /wp-content/plugins/sold-out-badge-for-woocommerce/ directory
2. Create a new file called wpml-config.xml inside this directory
3. Inside that xml file, paste the following:

<wpml-config>
  <custom-fields>
    <custom-field action="translate" style="line" label="Badge label">_wcsob_text</custom-field>
  </custom-fields>
</wpml-config>

Tell me if it works, it would really help me!

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

It didn’t work for me. After creating the wpml-config.xml file I scanned the plugin from WPML > Theme and plugins localization, but no record appeared in WPML > String translation.

I have managed to translate it using the __() function in /wp-content/plugins/sold-out-badge-for-woocommerce/woocommerce/single-product/sold-out.php :
<?php echo apply_filters( 'wcsob_soldout', '<span class="wcsob_soldout">' . __('Sold out','sold-out-badge-for-woocommerce') . '</span>', $post, $product ); ?>
But I am not sure if this is a correct method.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Hi @gerardciclick, I just published a new version with WPML compatibility (4.2.0).

Could you try and let me know?

Thanks.

PS: the main problem of your solution is you can’t update the plugin without losing your changes. A better way is to use hooks. For example, here, you could have done the following in functions.php:

add_filter( 'wcsob_soldout', function($content, $post, $product){
    return '<span class="wcsob_soldout">' . __('Sold out','sold-out-badge-for-woocommerce') . '</span>';
});

Thank you very much! I have installed the new version (4.2.0) and it works now.

I knew I couldn’t update the plugin if I modified the source files, but I didn’t know the proper way. Thanks for your time.

Gerard.
