Hi,

So, by “domain” you mean the text in brackets right? For example, the domain of “about” in the image you provided is “Post Slug,” correct?

The text I want to exclude doesn’t seem to have a domain:

In the above image, “Prefecture” is what I want to exclude, but it doesn’t have brackets below it. What should I do?

Could you also answer my other question?

>Thanks for your reply, but this won’t quite resolve my issue. It’s OK that the frontend UI is translated into the target language (Japanese), but I don’t want the translated value to be sent to my drop shipping partner. Is there any way to send the values in the original language (English) while keeping the frontend UI translated into the target language?

One more question: If I only specified a string text to be excluded, it would be excluded on all locations, correct? How do I specify a string for a specific location? There should be a string name of some sort, but I’m not sure how to find it.

I could use your solution as a last resort if there is no way to do this, but how do I specify the strings I want to exclude? If I want to exclude Japanese prefectures like “Akita” or “Aomori,” should I simply add those to “Gettext String” in the Advanced settings of TranslatePress? I added them in the original language, but they were still translated into Japanese.

Thank you, but if I change my store address back to Japan and update the database, the issue will occur again and I think there is still an issue in WooCommerce. What I did is just a workaround.

In order to eliminate the issue, I had to enter a false address (USA).

Hi again,

I updated WooCommerce database and the names are now back to normal!

For other people who have encountered the same issue, here is what I did:

1. Change the store address from Japan to the US
2. Schedule WooCommerce database update from WooCommerce > Status > Tools
3. Wait until the tool is run
4. The order of the first name and the last name fields was back to normal after a few hours

@abwaita, although my issue has been resolved, you may want to take a look at how WooCommerce handles database because my issue was resolved by updating the database as I suspected.

For your information, last names come before first names in Japan. So last name –> first name is correct in Japan, but my store is global and I want the first name field to come first.

Hi @abwaita,

thanks for your reply! I’ll make sure to upload my URL on Google Drive from next time.

So it looked OK on your end? So strange… I reloaded my page just now and it still looks like this (last name comes first and then first name):

in order to reproduce this, all you have to do is just add some products to the cart and go to checkout, that’s all. I think you set your country to Japan on the checkout page, but what I meant is my store address that I had set up when I had installed WooCommerce. I have multiple WooCommerce sites, and whenever I set my store address to Japan at the beginning, the first and last names are swapped. If I set my store address to the US at the beginning, they are not swapped. However, once I have set my store address to Japan at the beginning, changing it to the USA does not help and the names stay swapped.

Is there a possibility that WooCommerce looks at the customer’s IP address? I live in Japan, so maybe this is why the names are swapped on my end but not on your end because you don’t live in Japan??

Hi @abwaita, thanks for your reply. I sent you a Slack message because I didn’t want to disclose my URL to the public. Please note that it’s a work-in-progress site.
