Translation of ajax messages after adding a product to wishlist

Hi jdev53,

Can you please share with us more details? Which version of the plugin are you currently using?

Within version 2.0.4 of the plugin we introduced some option to let user customize messages by the plugin panel itself; anyway, all strings in the plugin are passed through localization functions, so you can simply translate everything with the .po archives.

If you need some help with plugin localization, you can follow our guide

Let me know if this helps you with your problem

Have a nice day ??

Hello,

Thanks for reply.
Plugin version is 2.0.4 and there are a few options for translating strings. However those options are for translating “Add to Wishlist” text, “Browse wishlist” text, “Product already in wishlist” text, “Product added” text and “Add to Cart” text. The “Product added” text in those option is related to the text which is shown after clicking the Add to wishlist button, but that message is a normal text and not an AJAX message.
I couldn’t find any option for translating AJAX messages like ‘Product added!'(displayed on single product page),’PRODUCT SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED.'(displayed on wishlist page), ‘No products were added to the wishlist’ (displayed on wishlist page) etc.
The WordPress is already installed in Japanese language and I’ve also tried to translate the strings in .po file of WordPress. I couldn’t find the strings mentioned above in the WordPress po file so I tried to change the strings in the po file of plugin. There was no change at all.
I checked the guide. I don’t have WPML plugin but I know the process of translating strings in po file using POFileEditor.
Because the po file tweak didn’t work, I also tried to find the strings in PHP files but couldn’t find them.
Could you please suggest simple process of translating the strings in po file or directly in PHP files? Where can I find the AJAX strings?

Thanks and regards

Same issue as jdev53

Thanks.

I managed to translate needed terms by editing .po(.mo) file and uploading them into /yith-woocommerce-wihslist/languages with adequate theme localization name: for me it was “yit-sr_ME”

Hope that helps.

Hello CasualLeo

Thanks for suggestion. I tried that method before starting this thread.
I’m building a Japanese website and there wasn’t any po file for Japanese strings. So I copied default.po file and renamed it to yit_es_JP.po and uploaded .po and .mo files to the server, but there wasn’t any change. Can we use default.po file for custom po files?

Thanks

Yes you can, just add translation next to default words and sentences, save it, upload it into that folder. (Make sure you refreshed cached files or reload page in incognito.)

Did you define that language as default in your general WP settings?

Hi,

Yes, I’ve added the translation next to default words and uploaded the file. WordPress default language is already set to Japanese.
Is there any option to insert the strings directly into PHP files?

Thanks

Hi guys!

I just checked the code, and all the string are correctly passed through an i18n function like __() or _e(); so creating your custom .po file in /languages plugin directory is the way to translate them.

@jdev53: I think problem could be related to the name of the file; please, make sure it starts with yit- prefix (note there’s no underscore) and ends with the correct language code (i tried to search for es_JP code in codex, but can’t find any result; wordpress uses JA as code for Japanese )

So I think your .po file should be named yit-ja.po

Let me know if this helps you

Hello

Thanks for reply.
Renaming the file to yit-ja.po did the trick!

The other files on the server are named as yit-de_DE.po, yit-es_AR.po etc. so I named Japanese po file as yit-jp_JP.po and that’s where I went wrong. At that time I wasn’t aware of ‘JA’ for po file.

Thanks a lot!
