Hi,
I try to translate the theme and Woocommerce in French. Everything’s going pretty well but there are some strings that I can figure out how to translate.
For example: Wishlist. Cart (it still says: “your cart is empty”) but in the .po file, I can see that I have translated all of them.

Right now it’s pretty odd because it’s generally in French but with some pages and some text in English.

Can you help? The website is in “Coming soon” mode but I give you the login info in the private box below.

Hi there,
I managed to figure out about the wishlist (it was in the plugin)

But for many other strings, I still have problems: Cart, “dashboard”, “Downloads” Addresses”

I try to use the .pot file but Poedit tells me an error message.

Could you point me out what I need to do, which files I need to edit if it’s not the one I did?

Thanks

Hello,

I’ve just logged to the wp-admin panel and didn’t see the WooPress theme there.

Yes, I deleted it and started from scratch. I had too many problems with the theme (and translation). It was hard to customize the topbar, the social icons (share/follow), etc. I don’t think I’m gonna be using it.

Hi,

I’ve read all about translation. I’ve been trying to fix these strings for the past 8 hours now.
Everything works great in fr_FR but in fr_CA there’s like 4-5 strings that stays in English even though they are perfectly translated in poEdit and Loco.

When it’s not the cart the problem, it’s the Wishlist. And when I fix the Wishlist, it’s the Dashboard.

You’ll fin the FTP credentials below, as well as the WP.

Right now, the problem is “CART” and the description below “NOS PRODUCTS IN YOUR CART”.
Also, when you click on the empty cart, the page loads and the text we see is in English. All of this should be in French (fr_CA)

Woocommerce files are translated
WooPress files are translated
My WP is set in the correct language/region

Same thing for the wishlist plugin. Almost everything is alright (Add to wishlist, etc.) but not the wishlist page itself, which contains “Product name”, “Price”, etc.

Thanks. If you find the problem, please explain it to me!

You can change the text “Your cart is currently empty” in Theme Options->Shop->Text for empty cart.

Also we’ve updated the translation file. Please check it.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip on how to change the text for the empty cart.

You updated which file? The default theme language file or did you edit my fr_CA file?
What did you update?

When my mouse is hover the cart, I still see: “No products in your cart” in english. Where can i edit that if it’s not in the .po file?

And do you know what the problem could be with the wishlist? I know it’s the plugin, but I edited the files the same way and still get some words in English.

Thanks for your help,
Justine

Hello,

We updated your fr_CA.po file in wp-content/themes/woopress/languages, so new strings are added from the updated theme version.

As I see you’ve removed Woopress theme from dashboard.
Do you still need our assistance with it?

Regards,
Eva Kemp.
