Can't find string in translation file

    Hi!

    I have fixed the norwegian translation quite a bit by putting the localization file in “wp-content/languages/woocommerce”. Every change I make shows up on the front end, so the file works. But then I saw that on the thank you page it says “Kunde Detaljer” which is just plain bad norwegian. This is a translation of “Customer Details” on the thank you page, and should be “Kundedetaljer”.

    So I go into my translation file and search for “Kunde Detaljer”. Nothing comes up. Then I search for “Customer details”, and the only string that appears is already translated correctly. And yes, the newest file is uploaded to my server.

    This seems wierd…

    Ok, I solved this.

    For anyone else with the same problem, I had an old translation file without the “Customer Details” string. It had, however, a “Customer details” string, that made me think I had already translated everything.

    As it has taken me a lot of time to fix the bad wording in the norwegian translation, I did not want to overwrite what I had already fixed. I therefore used https://localise.biz/free/poeditor to add the “Customer Details” string, and then translated it.

    This way I may run into problems with other strings being english or with bad wording later, but things are OK for now.
