Show Google Pay button in user’s language?

Hi @holafreak

I had some testing run and here are our findings:

1. Stripe apparently uses a different locale nomenclature for the payment request button which you can see here. https://docs.stripe.com/js/appendix/supported_locales. What that means is your WordPress site’s de-DE locale doesn’t mean anything to Stripe. It has to be in the de format.
2. We need to make an update in the next release so the locale value is used on pages other than the checkout page. Right now, even if you pass de it will only work on the checkout page.
3. We will need to update the plugin so it uses the short form locale (de) instead of the more common (de-DE) format.

Here is the code snippet you can use to show the German language for the payment request button on the checkout page:

add_filter('wc_stripe_localize_script_payment-request', function($data){
	$data['elementOptions']['locale'] = 'de';
	return $data;
});

Kind Regards

At the moment both options don’t seem to do anything.

That’s not true for all other payment methods. For example, if you test the card form with site locale, you will see it’s in German. The payment request button for some is treated differently by Stripe.

Version 3.3.87 has been released.

Hi @holafreak

Awesome, thank you for confirming.
