 * Hello World
 * I’m encountering an issue in my online store as this latter is set up in French
   but for some reasons have some English at some part when the other ones are indeed
   in French…
 * For example, in the ordering page the information (name, address, …) are in French,
   but elements like “Your order”, “Have a coupon”, … are in English…
 * What could this be due to ?…
 * I wish you a nice day
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstore-language-issue-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@toad1010](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toad1010/)!
 * Hope you are having a good day.

 * It is due to the availability of a fully translated version in your language;
   some languages might not have a 100% translated version.
 * The French version of WooCommerce is, at this moment, at 98% of completion.
 * You can contribute to completing the French translation if you want to here:
   
   [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/woocommerce/](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/woocommerce/)
 * Also, you can change any words in English and replace them with the French equivalent,
   without having to edit the theme file or edit the code manually, through a plugin
   like [SayWhat](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/).
 * With it, you can [add the string](https://plugins.leewillis.co.uk/doc_post/adding-string-replacement/)
   where the words you want to change are, and enter the ones you wish to replace
   them with, and the plugin will automatically do the rest.
 * You can check more about it here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/).
 * Here you can find the explanation about how to change the string:

 * Hello [@judagutor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/judagutor/)
 * Thanks very much for your very detailed answer !
 * I understood most of the documentation, but I’m just confused on how to exactly
   find the “domain” when doing the replacement

 * Hi [@toad1010](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toad1010/),
 * After installing the plugin _Say what?_, head over to `Tools > Text changes` 
   and click “Add new”. The domain is woocommerce as it is the second argument that
   is used in the internationalization functions with the elements you want to translate.
   For instance, you can add the following:
 *     ```
       Original string — Your Order
       Text domain — woocommerce
       Text you want to display —  Votre commande
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```
       Original string — Have a coupon
       Text domain — woocommerce
       Text you want to display —  Avez-vous un coupon
       ```
   
 * I hope this helps!
 * Best regards,

 * Hello [@csnlima](https://wordpress.org/support/users/csnlima/) !
 * Thanks very much for your answer and sorry for having taken that long to reply…
 * I’ve actually tried to make the inputs the way you’ve indicated me, but it seems
   like it doesn’t bring any change to my website… I’ve tried it for different examples,
   including the ones you’ve showed me as they are relevant to my website, but no
   change at all…

 * Hello [@toad1010](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toad1010/) ,
 * If you are still having problems with the translation of WooCommerce strings,
   I recommend using [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/).
   You can find full details of translating WooCommerce here: [https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-localization/](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-localization/)
 * Also, check if your theme or a plugin is overriding the cart or checkout pages.
   If the pages are using a template or text from another theme or plugin then you
   need to adjust the translation on that theme or plugin.
 * You can verify this by switching to a default theme like Storefront first. If
   the texts are translated properly with Storefront, you need to add the missing
   translation to your theme.
 * If you need further help, please reply with your current System Status Report.
   You can get it by navigating to the `WooCommerce / Status` section of your site.
   Once there, click on the `Get system report` button and then copy it by clicking
   on the `Copy for support` button. Then paste it here in a comment.
 * Thank you.
