Orginal Post:

Again this weird phenomenon where a string is not being translated in the front-end although it is translated in the .mo

According to the first post, I thoroughly checked the .po for other strings that might be the correct one, but cannot find anything.

There’s nothing weird going on here.

The string “This field is required” isn’t taken from a PHP file, it’s taken from the database. You set the value for the question validation message in the Event Espresso > registration form > Questions, in the Required Text field.

This is not a question field. It is the login field.

Oh! Well that sounds like a string from another plugin then, and isn’t going to be translated from an Event Espresso translation file.

But its on your login site.
I use force login on my events. So if the user is not logged in, evey event shows the login first, which is a part of EE, isn’t it?

Here the id of the fields:

It is an EE field.

The actual string you’re seeing is coming from the jQuery Validator plugin, and doesn’t use the same translation methods as the PHP scripts do. You can translate this string using a bit of JavaScript, and a really good way to add the script to the page is to use the wp_add_inline_script() function.

Here’s a readymade code example you can use:

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.
