Hi Jason,

I see “Attendee 1” in that screenshot. What would you like to change it to?

Hi,

For the Attendee 1, simply use “Attendee ” (without the quotes BUT with the space!)

The 1 attendee (or 2 attendees, etc) is a little harder. With the translation files it finds it easily enough.

Basically it is %d attendee or %d attendees

However it is using _n function. If you look at the _n function on WP.org codex (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/_n) it says that it uses the ngettext filter.

As far as I am aware, Quick Localisation doesn’t use this filter so it can’t find the string to translate.

From the Quick Localisation page on WP.org:

“Quick Localisation allows to hook on gettext so that one can easily tweak WordPress translations generated by functions __ and _e.”

It does not mention _n so I cant see how you can use the plugin to translate those strings.

However, you could drop this modified gettext function into your themes functions.php (or a separate plugin) and it should do the trick

function youruniqueprefix_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
 
    $strings = array(
		'%d attendee'     => ' %d Entry',
                '%d attendees'     => ' %d Entries'
        // Add some more strings here
    );
 
    if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
        $translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'ngettext', 'youruniqueprefix_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Hi Jason,

OK, I merely assumed that would work, so my apologies.

Talking to a developer on this, it looks like the main sprintf is wrong (I’ve raised a ticket to look into that), plus the function was still not right as it was basing it on the normal gettext.

So, to fix this you will need to 1) edit a file and 2) update the function.

1) In the multi_registration_page_display.php template file, near the top is the following line:

$attendee_quantity = ' x '.sprintf(_n('%d attendee', '%d attendees', $meta['attendee_quantity'], 'event_espresso'), $meta['attendee_quantity']);

Replace it with

$qty = (int) $meta['attendee_quantity'];
$attendee_quantity = ' x '.sprintf( _n('1 attendee', '%d attendees', $qty, 'event_espresso'), $qty );

2) Use the following function in your themes functions.php or a separate plugin:

function youruniqueprefix_filter_gettext( $translation, $single, $plural, $number, $domain ) {
 
    $strings = array(
		'1 attendee'     => '1 Entry',
		'%d attendees'     => '%d Entries'
        // Add some more strings here
    );
 
    if ( isset( $strings[$translation] ) ) {
        $translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
        $translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$translation] );
    }
 
    return $translated;
}
 
add_filter( 'ngettext', 'youruniqueprefix_filter_gettext', 10, 5 );

Let me know how you get on with this.
