WPML cooperation or work with the internal translations

Hi norus,

I don’t use WPML but I don’t think strings in the email template can be translated because they are saved with the whole template.

Best,

I translated my email template using the wpbe_html_body filter and preg_replace. Not elegant but it works.

Example:

function translate_wp_better_email_template($message){
	if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE != 'fr')
		return $message;

	$message = preg_replace('/Email sent/','Courriel envoyé', $message);

	return $message;
}	add_action('wpbe_html_body','translate_wp_better_email_template');

Hi,

Here are some ways I thought to translate strings in template.

Using the custom template tags:

add_filter('wpbe_tags', function( $tags ) {

	// Set the current language, fallback to english by default
	$lang = defined('ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE') ? ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE : 'en';

	// Set a translations array
	$translations = array(
		'footer.email_sent_on' => array(
			'en' => 'Email sent on',
			'fr' => 'Email envoyé le',
		),
		'footer.mention' => array(
			'en' => 'Please only print this email if necessary',
			'fr' => 'N’imprimez cet email que si nécessaire',
		),
	);

	// Create new tags
	$tags['footer.email_sent_on'] = $translations['footer.email_sent_on'][$lang];
	$tags['footer.mention']       = $translations['footer.mention'][$lang];

    return $tags;
}

You should then be able to use tags such as %footer.mention% and %footer.email_sent_on% in your template. They will be translated.

Using the templates tags and the translation files:

add_filter('wpbe_tags', function( $tags ) {

	// Create new tags
	$tags['footer.email_sent_on'] = __('Sent on', 'theme_text_domain');
	$tags['footer.mention']       = __('Please only print this email if necessary', 'theme_text_domain');

	return $tags;

}

Probably cleaner. If you don’t have a translation file, create one and load it manually.
