Title: Missing translation strings Last modified: May 6, 2021 --- # Missing translation strings * [compito](https://wordpress.org/support/users/compito/) * (@compito) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-translation-strings-6/) * I have implemented this plugin for a customer, but there are some missing strings that can’t be translated. It’s used on Swedish website. The Ajax bits above the form, “Want to modify your reservation?” is missing. There is a “Want to cancel your reservation?” tho that I can’t see implemented anywhere. * Also, under that text is :”Use the form below to modify your reservation” text, which is translated in admin, but it doesn’t get translated in the interface. * Can you please fix those bits? * Thanks, Damir Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [hofercraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hofercraft/) * (@hofercraft) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-translation-strings-6/#post-14410757) * other missing translation strings (not possible to change in .po file without change other source code) in: * Editor.class.php, eg. “Fields prompt the user to enter information or select from options.” * Field.Controller.class.php, eg. “Dropdown”, “Checkbox”, .. * Settings.class.php, eg. “Admin Notification Subject (Auto Confirmed Booking)” ( menu items of email-designer) also see [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/string-missing-from-pot-file-for-translation/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/string-missing-from-pot-file-for-translation/) * Plugin Support [jaysupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaysupport/) * (@jaysupport) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-translation-strings-6/#post-14422368) * Hi Damir, * We regularly make changes to the plugin and sometimes language files stay a little behind. The text you’re asking for has been added in the latest changes and is currently missing from the language files. We’ll include a new .pot in the next update. In the meantime, you can download a freshly-generated .pot right here: [https://www.fivestarplugins.com/downloads/restaurant-reservations.pot](https://www.fivestarplugins.com/downloads/restaurant-reservations.pot) * [yos.c.bd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yoscbd/) * (@yoscbd) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-translation-strings-6/#post-14528063) * facing the same issue i have rescaned the plugin strings using WPML and imported some of the missing strings such as “Want to modify your reservation?”. * yet i am still struggling with translating the notification messages user see after he submit the reservation form or when a user changing a reservation: * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translating-notifications-messages/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/translating-notifications-messages/) * anybody know how to translated these missing strings? * > ``` > When a user vhoses to change an existing reservation he is being asked to enter the email address was used when creating a reservation. > > shortly after that user can see the status of his reservation and its details: > > Cancel 17/06/2021 7:00 pm – 4 guests (Confirmed) > Or: > Cancelled 17/06/2021 7:00 pm – 4 guests (Confirmed) > > i’m trying to translate notifications sauce as “(Confirmed)” or “Cancelled” but i cant find it anywhere in the plugin po file. > > i have rescanned the plugin strings using WPML and created an updated po file but i still can find a way to translate this section and make sure it will be in RTL design format. > ``` > * Moderator [tobifjellner (Tor-Bjorn “Tobi” Fjellner)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobifjellner/) * (@tobifjellner) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-translation-strings-6/#post-14528460) * [@jaysupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaysupport/) * > We’ll include a new .pot in the next update. * Please be aware that the translations at [https://translate.wordpress.org/](https://translate.wordpress.org/) totally disregard any .pot file you may have in your plugin. Instead, a wp-cli function scans the plugin for strings that can be translated (if done correctly, it will even scan Javascript files for strings) and updates the translation projects. The first language pack for a particular plugin or theme gets generated automatically when at least 90% of the strings in the plugin have been translated and approved by a translation editor. If a user has been promoted to translation editor, then their new translations are approved automatically as they happen. And these language packs can even include .json files with translations for the Javascript files! * If there is a language pack available since before, then any update to the translation set or the translations will trigger generation of a new language pack (normally within one hour). * If you want more details on how this works, please join the global Slack for WordPress contributors via [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) and come and ask in “polyglots” channel. (And once you’re in Slack, you can also search for your plugin slug “restaurant-reservations” in the channel meta- language-packs to see more details whenever your translation sets get updated.) * The Swedish translation is currently translated to 43%, so a few hundred strings would still need to be translated in order for a language pack to get generated.
