Sorry for another translation not translating issue, but this one has me stumped.

I’ve noticed that this following message…

…doesn’t seem to translate, even though it’s translated in the .po file

I have placed the language files here…
wp-content/plugin/event-espresso-core-reg/languages/

Everything else seems to be translating fine. Any idea’s on how i can resolve this issue?

Also, on a side note when i upgraded the core plugin from 4.9.26 to 4.9.31.p it killed all my translations. So i had to rollback to 4.9.26 currently.

Hi there,

The reason that string is not translating is because it has already been saved to the database as part of your payment method.

There are a few payment methods that use that text as default, but on activation the translation is applied then and then the text saved to the database, after that point the textfrom the DB is used, the reason for this is because you can set your own custom text there.

Go to Event Espresso -> Payment methods.

Select your payment method (I’ll use Invoice as an example, if you have others you’ll need to check those)

The description text is what is shown in that section for each payment method – http://take.ms/NqN3Y

Change the text there and save the payment method, now retest a registration to confirm the text changes.

I have placed the language files here…
wp-content/plugin/event-espresso-core-reg/languages/

That’s the wrong location and means your translations will be lost every time you update Event Espresso.

The correct location is /wp-content/uploads/espresso/languages/

Your .MO file should be named event_espresso-{locale}.mo

So I’m guessing event_espresso-fr_FR.mo based on your text.
