WPML String Translation for KLEO contact us form

[arbolife]

Hi,

I translated the CONTACT US and the “We’re not around right now…” with WPML String Translator, marked them as complete (see screenshot).

How come the French version of the site still shows the English text on it? What am I missing?

Thanks,

Marc

Hi,

I know that on your site exists some incompatibility problems with wpml and revslider do you have translated those strings with RevSlider activated ? if yes try without.

What are location for the language files ?

The correct path for kleo theme language files is : wp-content/languages/themes/
the language files should be named like that kleo_framework-el.mo and kleo_framework-el.po the files was named kleo_framework-fr_FR.mo and kleo_framework-fr_FR.mo

Hi,

I tried to deactivate Slider Revolution for some time now, no effect on the site.

Setting is WPML-> Theme and Plugin localization -> selected “Translate by WPML”
This way I don’t touch any language files.

Inside String Translation, there are sections for kleo strings. I translate them, mark as complete and nothing happens on the site.

Thanks,
Marc

Hi again,

Correction: WPML string translation actually works. I translated the xprofile fields from BuddyPress for the registration page and it worked right away. What doesn’t work is the kleo content of the message box:

CONTACT US and the “We’re not around right now…”.

Hi Radu,

I know that. The question is why when I translate those strings with WPML “String translator”, does it not appear on the site. The WPML translator works fine for WordPress, BuddyPress, etc. Just not for these 2 strings.

Cheers,
Marc

Hi again,

Try to put the desired text there ( wp-admin -> theme options -> Layout settings -> Contact form title* and Contact form text* ) in English and then use wpml string translation to made FR version of that text, try to not leave the inputs with the default text.

Let me know

Hi Radu,

I changed the default value, enabled detecting new strings when logged in as administrator, browsed the site as admin and view the new strings display…
But they don’t register in String Translation. I can only find the old ones (default).

It looks to me as only the default value on the admin side register (they are in the domain “admin_texts_kleo_kleo” and it is my understanding the admin_ prefix is for the back-end).

Let me know what else I can try.

Thanks,
Marc

Done please check, if you have child theme activated you should translate the strings from child or parent

Thanks, I now see the child theme in string translation and it works.
Now I also wanted to change the default translation of the fields in the form “Your Name”, “Your Email”, and “Type your message…”. I found them in WPML’s string translation under the domain kleo_framework, they were already translated with the default translation. I changed it, but it the change doesn’t appear on the site.

Do I also need a kleo_framework_child for it to work ?

Thanks,
Marc

Hi,

No, you should edit the kleo_framework-fr_FR.po file and to search for that default FR translations for that string in the file and replace with your desired text.

I think the language file path is /wp-content/themes/kleo/languages/fr_FR.po

That’s not the right way, but I found the problem.

I was missing the “Translate the theme and plugins using WPML’s String Translation” option in WPML > Theme and plugins localization

Now it works. Thanks for your help anyhow.

Cheers,
Marc

[Radu]

Ok
